Hey guys I’m new to overclocking and I’m looking for some answers or Advice. I upgraded my computer over the weekend and the specs are as follows
Asus z390 Maximus hero xi (With the latest Bios update)
9900k
Cooler master ml240l aio cooler
16 gb Gskill at 3200mhz (xmp 1 enabled)
Nvidia gtx 760 (still needs upgrading)
850w gold psu
2x Samsung 970 Evo nvme in bootable raid 0
And three random hard drives out of older computers
So I’m beginning to overclock and I followed der8auers guide to a t. Trying for 5ghz
https://youtu.be/95Ujni7-fVMat idle I’m seeing 1.27v on cpu core Voltage (set at 1.29v in bios) During the CPu stress test I’m seeing 1.199v (llc lvl6 of 8.)If I bring the LLC up to level 7, I see 1.24xv under the stress test But temperatures start to climb rapidly and get above 90c and it shuts down/crashes. The only time I’ve seen any crashes at llc lvl6 was when I was messing with other things while the test was running. For instance I accidentally closed CPU-z And I tried to re-opened it and it froze up. The other time I had a crash I was messing around in the ASUS ai
Suite again while running the test.
So is that voltage drop normal? I ran the test for 30 minutes without a crash at llc6. , my CPU package power was around 190 Watts. The max temperature I saw was 86C on one or two Cores but the rest were a few degrees lower. VRM temps were under 70 C..
Update from yesterday’s tests below
It would seem I’m hitting some sort of throttling during the prime95 stress test.. I’m seeing the core clock speeds randomly drop to 4600 in cpu-z for a split second.. it randomly does it across all cores but not all cores at the same time. Hardware monitor isn’t showing any throttling but is registering the clock speed drops.. temps show 79-85c during the test. Cpu package power at 185.. anyone have any ideas?
here is a quick video of the issue im having. This is while running prime95 and with svid disabled. all power options maxed out, windows power options set to performance..
