Hey guys, I'm just curious, how safe it is ? I know it's been discussed time and time again, but I'm getting better overclocks with it on. For context, I've tried manually overclocking, to no avail: (that thread has more info on what I've tried to do for bios wise for my overclock ) I've since moved to a custom cpu loop, and wanted to try my hand at overclocking again, and decided to just give AI overclocking a try. Obviously I'm getting better temps than I was on the AIO, but I'm also sitting at a 4.9 Ghz overclock (with no AVX offset - sitting at about 73 degrees ) with a max voltage of 1.305 and it droops to about 1.243 under full load and is stable. This is much lower than the 1.32 volts I had to push to even get a 4.8 Ghz unstable overclock. So can anyone provide me with some insight as to why I'm seemingly able to get better overclocks with less voltage using AI, compared to manual? Maybe there's a setting I enabled that would be the culprit , and what do you guys think that could have been to cause such poor clocks ? I will update with any info you guys might need upon request, as I don't fully know what you might need to help me find the potential issue ! Thanks guys !

I did look into it after the fact and it's not as pricey as I thought! ( I was thinking like $150) so I may opt for that! See if they will do anything for me through that channel ! And I'm using a Thermal take 850w 80 plus platinum PSU

So I tried to RMA it through the shop and Intel and they both got hung up on the fact that 4.7Ghz is the advertised all core boost, and therefore it doesnt need to hit 4.8 Stable at any point. I tried to explain Guardband Tolerances ( to the best of my ability) and they just shrugged it off. Looks like I'm stuck with a bone stock 9900k :( Intel did mention if I bought their premium overclocking warranty they *might* be able to help me D:

Yeah I guess so ?

Hey guys, I've been trying to overclock my 9900k on and off for a few months now , and I can't even seem to get stable at 4.8Ghz with an avx offset of 4 ( bringing it well below stock) I have a 360 mm AIO , with thermal grizzly conductonaut TIM. I've re pasted around 3 times, seeing best temperatures with my current mount. I have an Asus Z390-e Strix with LLC set to 6/7 ( tried both doesn't really change much ), limiters are off so cpu can draw what it needs, I've got a manual vcore of 1.32, MCE is off, SVID is disabled. When I run stock I see a max of 60°c so more than fine but as soon as I try going to 4.8+ I'm unstable even with around 1.32V. I've tried 5.0 and obviously it doesn't work, I can't even run prime 95 26.6 for more than a minute without BSOD. Running at 4.8 temps go around 95ish on 1.32 , and stay about the same when I tried 5 ( as I didn't change vcore ). I can't really put more voltage to the chip without throttling or hitting 95-100°. I've been scares to test higher vcores which would probably bring me stable but apparently my 360 AIO can't handle that cooling ? ? I'm thinking I got a dud , and it's too late to return and try a different chip, so are there any suggestions you guys might have that I can try ? I've been reading a little bit about c States and that might be something I can try when I get home but I'm at a loss. I think I lost the lottery ? very dissappointing to buy an unlocked chip and not even able to push it 100Mhz

Hey guys, I just upgraded my 9700k to 9900k for the hyper threading ! I was able to achieve 5ghz on 1.33 volts on my 9700k, when I dial those settings in on my 9900k it seems to be stable but the temps are hitting 92+ in prime95 26.6. are these okay temps for short term stress tests? I realize the 9900k is a hotter chip I'm just worried of pushing it too far! My motherboard says my max stable overclock is probably around 4.8Ghz on 1.3 volts. Do you think this is a safer bet ? I feel like I got a dud ? I'm running a 360 AIO !

Anyone ? I want to know if i should RMA it

Okay thanks! Makes a bit more sense now!

Well, currently i have 3 per header, though the cpu header wont let me lower the 3 rad fans below 60. So I was going to put a *powered* pwm fan splitter in and hook all 6 up and control them with pwm from one header, but having power provided through the hub! and because the cpu header wont let me go less than 60, i was thinking maybe if i did chassis header it might with the controller! and what do you mean by i can control them better?

so then should I put my 6 fans through one controller onto say the chassis fan header?

Hey guys, I am frustrated because my radiator fans that are all on my cpu 4 pin header (3 way splitter) and very loud. AI Suite 3 wont let those 3 fans run less than 100% and the motherboard i think makes the minimum 60! How can i go about getting these fans quieter? I am thinking about getting a 10 way pwm spliiter, put all 3 rad fans, and 3 front intake fans on the splitter. If i plug this in to the cpu header should I be able to go lower then? Or should I put them on a chassis header? and if i do that, what do i do about the cpu fan warning in the bios! I have a little tiny VRM heatsink fan that came with my asus z390-E, should i put that into the cpu header instead of cpu_Opt?

Perhaps its coil whine? My friend mentioned it may be, though I've heard coil whine on this card before and this is a different noise... though it could be.

https://youtu.be/hXabgXa5V7g Here is a video of the noise. Its pretty bad quality though so i apologize

Fair enough! It just sucks because I paid $1300 Canadian rubles for this card and it might not last as long as I thought ?
