- i have a 360mm aio un opned here im waiting on fans for
not bad for air cooling @ 11 years old and not delided

1.22v passed all tests like prime 95 small ffts/ real bench / cinbench but threw whea error from bf5 .
1.23 v passes everything

should i buy a z-390 16 phase baord like the asus apex z390 and sell my x hero z370 ?
for this cpu or should i just stay @ 5.0 and maybe do 5.1 and save 500$ ?









i mean having the 9900ks 5 ghz avx=0 @ 1.23 v with ddr4 ram @ 4000 mhz and temps in the 50/60s and prime does not go above 82 c peak i can stay on this 12 year old cooler ! i have weanted to throw it out but she just is there when i need her lol true black is a good heat sync with 2 x 120 on it
