  1. Hello. First of all, specs: Intel Core i7 9700K NZXT Kraken X72 Asus Rog Strix Z390-F GAMING Asus Rog Strix RTX2070 O8G GAMING 8GB GDDR6 Corsair Vengeance RGB 16GB: 2x8GB DDR4 3000MHz Samsung 970 EVO Plus MZ-V7S500BW 500GB (NVMe) - M.2 Card Toshiba P300 3.5´´ 2TB - 7200rpm 64MB SATA-600 Corsair RM750x NZXT H series H700i Window Black I started to experience some instability with my 5GHz overclock. I decided I wanted to start from scratch, but before I did so, I updated BIOS to newest version and it reset everything as well. I am currently struggling to hit the same overclock as previously, and I wondered if my CPU might have degraded. The overclock which were stable before was: Multiplier: 50 XMP: Enabled AVX: Auto MCE: Auto LLC: 5 Manual voltage: 1.385v VCORE @ load: 1.350v AC/DC Load Line: 0.01 / 0.01 VCCIO: 1.250v VCCSA: 1.150v It passed 8 hours Realbench, 2 hours Prime95 26.6, Intel Burn Test & OCCT Linpack NonAVX. Now it struggle passing 2 hours of Realbench, 15mins of P95 etc. My temps has always been fine, hovering around 50-65 under load (gaming), so I doubt that should have caused any damage. So what happened throughout the last 10 months or am I doing something wrong ?? Thanks in advance. Best regards
  2. I did not, and it make sense. Quote - "the first run will always have the full turbo budget, but if subsequent runs do not allow the budget to refill, it may get less turbo." I just didnt see this scenario back 10 months ago when I just got my 9700K. It was running 4.6GHz at stock with no throttling. However, now, after the BIOS update that wasnt the case. I had to make the "budget pool" bigger (changing short & long duration power limits) to be able to maintain 4.6GHz under heavy load. So I do not know what the difference from 10 months ago till now is.
  3. So I did what you said. I changed long and short duration power limits to 4095 (max) and ran 10x CBR15 tests with no throttle at all. But, I really thought my system should and would be able to run at 4.6GHz on heavy load without throttling with default BIOS settings. I am pretty sure it was able to do so 10 months ago, before I started my first OC on this CPU.
  4. Hmm. Havent heard about that tho. Also, as I write this, I am currently in a game now, holding 4.6GHz at all times - no throttling at all. I guess the difference between running the game & Cinebench R15 - there is a different in the current send to the CPU - which is why power limit is exceeded on cinebench and not the game? Also, I will take a look at the article you send.
  5. Okay thanks. Also read my previous post as i edited as you were writing yours. So basicly, i7 9700k is suppose to boost to 4.6GHz if all 8 cores is being used. So when running Cinebench R15 it should stay on 4.6GHz throughout the entirety of the test. But since it throttles due to power limit exceeded, it down clocks. But why it throttles when running default, i simply dont understand.
  6. Everything is default, except XMP is enabled. So MCE is on "Auto - Lets BIOS optimize". But if MCE is ON, wouldnt it try to boost all cores at 4.9GHz at load? Also, it seems I can do 2x Cinebench R15 where it sits on the expected 4.6GHz, but then the 3rd it starts throttling due to "Power Limit Exceeded". EDIT: Found this article on MCE: https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?106375-MCE-explanations-and-others Quote: "Auto means that the board has liberty to determine what limits are reasonable, competitive, reliable and logical. Factors such as thermal, performance, Segment, competitor’s out of box perf, stability are taken into account." So that might be the reason it's hitting Power Limit or?
  7. Hello. I recently ran into some instability issues with my overclock and system in general. I wanted to start from scratch, so I decided to update my BIOS before, since there was 4 newer versions for my board. I succesfully updated BIOS, and wanted to run some Cinebench R15 tests with only XMP enabled, to see if everything was fine. I noticed the first couple of runs, was just fine - running at 4.6GHz on all cores as it should. But after 2-3 runs, I suddenly noticed my core clock throttling down to 4.2/4.3GHz. I noticed in HWinfo that it says "Power Limit Exceeded" for all 8 cores was "Yes". https://gyazo.com/060f6aaf5deb2fa2517b9c919f76e685 I know that I can probably change Long and Short duration power limits in the bios. But my CPU is supposed to run 4.6GHz on all cores as default - i.e. Turbo Boost right? My system is running only with XMP enabled - everything else is default/stock on a completely fresh BIOS. How come this is happening ? My specs: i7-9700k Asus Rog Strix Z390-F NZXT Kraken X72, Asus Rog Strix RTX2070 Corsair Vengeance RGB 3000MHz @ 16GB (2x8) Corsair RM750x Best regards
  8. Hmm i see. I just thought the reason for doing stresstest, was to stress the CPU as hard as possible, and therefor it made a good reference to whether your OC was stable or unstable for anything else So out of curiousity. What did you do with your OC to fix crashing in Assassins Creed?
  9. Well I would like too. But im pretty confident all my drivers are up to date. The one I didnt do was CAMAPP, but did that yesterday as written above. Therefor had some suspicion that could be the culprit. Also my NVIDIA driver is the 2nd latest. And reason for that, is that the newest NVIDIA driver is causing issues, and therefor i rolled back. But again, if it was a voltage issue, how come I can pass 2x Realbench 8hour stresstest with no issue, but playing PUBG makes it crash ?
  10. Yeah thats what I got told as well. The thing is, i did several 8hr realbench testing and all passed. With 1.315v (offset -0.053v) vccio 1.100v. I am currently at 1.340v (offset -0.053v), VCCIO 1.150v. So you'd assume its a voltage issue. But if it was, how come I can pass 2x Realbench 8hour stresstest with no issue, but playing PUBG makes it crash ? Both is also AVX. Had "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" 3 times today, while playing PUBG. 1 time while i was ingame, and 2 times while i was ALT+TAB'd and EDIT: So I did some research, and I have no clue if this could be a potential cause. CAMAPP (NZXT app) asked me for 3 days to update, which I didnt. However, I did update yesterday. When googling IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL camapp, there is several people back in the days, whom had issues with CAMAPP causing BSOD IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Thoughts on this?
  11. 3000 MHz. DRAM Voltage is 1.300v (didnt touch this - default after enabling XMP) I got told my vccio was high when it was on 1.3XXv, so tryid decreasing it. I then got the same BSOD twice within 30 minutes. First time, i'd upping vcore by 10mv. Then got the same BSOD, so upped VCCIO to 1.150v. Trying to figure out what is causing this.
  12. Alrite, thanks. Btw. atm. i trying to finetune my OC by lowering the voltage as far as i can, using adaptive. Ran 8hr Realbench last night, and everything seemed ok. However, today while playing PUBG i get a BSOD, with the error message: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL I've read different opinions to this error. Some say its Driver related, some says its Overclock related. So it makes me wonder, whether it's a driver issue, windows issue (reinstall windows) or a voltage issue? I've also finetuned my VCCIO from 1.300v to 1.100v and had it like that for the past 3 days, but perhaps it needs more juice ? Any thoughts on this?
  13. I've got Manual Mode, Adaptive Mode(Optional: Offset) and Offset Mode. So when you refer to "Offset mode" you don't think about Adaptive Mode + an offset, but Offset Mode as its own option, yeah? Is there any information on the specific VID tables available out there? Can't seem to find any. Found an Intel Article from years back, but I assume its different from chipset to chipset. FYI, I made the current OC this morning, and everything worked fine. But tonight i noticed that I had a "WHEA Error" listed in my HWiNFO. Didn't have any BSODs, crashes or anything all day. But I assume when getting WHEA Errors there is something, somewhere, which isn't stable. So upped the voltage by 0.005
  14. I know. As said, it is just itching my eye, and wanted to see if it was normal and if I could fix it Okay, so did very little testing. Made my adaptive voltage 1.315v and 0 offset - During RB vcore was 1.385v. I made a negative offset of 0.053v, ran RB again, and now its at 1.341v, and in games sitting on 1.332v. So now its the opposite from what I had before, however better - I would assume. But if I at some point play a game which is more CPU heavy, and it crashes - I assume I just adjust the voltage or offset accordingly, correct? Another thing I made notice of. Due to my negative offset 0.053v, it made my minimum idle vcore a bit lower. Lowest is 0.568. Before it was +0.600v. Is that a problem? I only did like 15-30mins of RB testing, so obviously have to do more thoroughly testing, and will so when I get this tuned in.
  15. Problem is, if i do that i wont be stable in Realbench / Prime95 etc. Only for my games. I already know my min. voltage is 1.332v for being stable at 5.0GHz. Which is why i am currently using 1.350v with LLC 5, because that gets me to 1.332v-1.341v. As said above. Already clarified whats my min. voltage for being stable is. Can't I work out from that? The issue is, if I put a negative offset of 0.018. It will probably work fine in games, since i get a slight vboost. However if I then do Prime95 i wont be stable there. I hope you understand what i say here
