I just tryid manually put LLC on Level 6. When it was on Auto, it said below the LLC option, that it was "Level 6", so don't know if manually changes anything ? Besides that. I just tryid these settings with no success. I read somewhere someone had success with that, with 9700k. Multiplier: 50AVX Offset: -3XMP: XMP 1 EnabledMCE: DisabledSVID Support: DisabledBLCK Aware Adaptive Voltage: DisabledCPU Core/Cache Voltage: 1.36v CPU Load-line Calibration: Level 6 CPU Current Capability: 170% Long Duration Package Power Limit: 4095 (max) Short Duration Package Power Limit: 4095 (max) CPU Core/Cache Current Limit: 255.75 (max) It passed Cinebench r15, but got BSOD on Prime95 within 2-3 minutes. Temps looks fine. Max 85c. So don't think its because thermals. Max LLC is Level 7. You still think i should try LLC Level 7 with lower vcore?

Attempt 5.0GHz: Multiplier: 50 AVX Offset: -3 XMP: XMP 1 Enabled MCE: Disabled SVID Support: Disabled BLCK Aware Adaptive Voltage: Disabled CPU Core/Cache Voltage: 1.375 Result: - Cinebench r15: Passed. - Prime95 v26.6 3 minutes: Failed - After 3 minutes 1 worker failed saying "Fatal Error: rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4". - Prime95 temps: Only ran for 3 minutes, but max was 83c. - Prime95 questions: General questions: In my attempt to hit 5.0GHz i tryid 1.36v, 1.37v and got BSOD during Prime95. I then tryid with 1.375v and after 3 minutes a worker failed, saying the above. From what i can read online, it means my overclock is unstable, and i need to add more voltages. However, i feel 1.375v is already pretty high. Is there some OC/BIOS settings that i need to change before attempting with 1.38v ? CPU Load-line Calibration is on "Auto" - However, i can see Auto puts it on Level 6. Should i change that to manual ? Maybe change Long Duration Package Power Limit and Short Duration Package Power Limit to max? Maybe change CPU Core/Cache Current Limit Max, to max?

Yeah i know that. Also have software i can do it with. It was more a question about if it was needed when overclocking or default would be fine. Yeah i know that setting. Pretty sure its Multicore Enhancement for ASUS. But i wanted to try manually overclocking, to see how far I could push my current chip.

Yes ofcourse. And it also do change. However, maybe it was needed with a more aggressive fan / pump curve when overclocking, therefor my question

Hey guys. I am attempting my very first CPU overclock for the very first time as i type this. Here are my specs: CPU: Intel Core i7 9700K / 3.6 GHz CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X72 MOBO: Asus Rog Strix Z390-F GAMING GPU: Asus Rog Strix RTX2070 O8G GAMING 8GB GDDR6 RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 16GB: 2x8GB DDR4 3000MHz DIMM SSD: Samsung 970 EVO Plus MZ-V7S500BW 500GB - PCI Express 3.0 x4 (NVMe) - M.2 Card HDD: Toshiba P300 3.5´´ 2TB - 7200rpm 64MB SATA-600 PSU: Corsair RM750x CASE: NZXT H series H700i Window Black Now to the overclocking part, and where i probably could use some assistance. I have done a lot of research on the subject, however don't feel quite confident in doing this, and probably do make mistake, sorry in advance for rookie questions and mistakes. First attempt 4.9GHz: Multiplier: 49 AVX Offset: -3 XMP: XMP 1 Enabled MCE: Disabled SVID Support: Disabled BLCK Aware Adaptive Voltage: Disabled CPU Core/Cache Voltage: 1.300 Result: - Cinebench r15: Instantly BSOD What a GREAT start Second attempt 4.9GHz: Multiplier: 49 AVX Offset: -3 XMP: XMP 1 Enabled MCE: Disabled SVID Support: Disabled BLCK Aware Adaptive Voltage: Disabled CPU Core/Cache Voltage: 1.350 Result: - Cinebench r15: Passed. - Prime95 v26.6 16 minutes: Passed. 0 errors 0 warnings. Screenshot: https://gyazo.com/05f1b9aefbdb0a5d719d0ebc0a5e532d - Prime95 temps: Screenshot: https://gyazo.com/e8be7022ff812462d62ae80a4bf17e82 is temps alrite here? - Prime95 questions: I noticed that some workers did less tests in that time period than others. Is this due to CPU clock throttling or is it normal? I noticed in CPU Z that sometimes my core clock went to 4.6GHz for a split second and back to 4.9GHz. Is this due to throttling or AVX offset -3 ? I was told there was no AVX in Prime95 v26.6. - Realbench 15 minutes: Passed. - Realbench temps: Lower than with Prime26.6. - Realbench questions: I noticed throughout the 15min of testing, that it was stuck at 4.6GHz, i assume this is because Realbench uses AVX, and therefor the offset -3 kicks in right? - Max voltages screenshot: https://gyazo.com/6a893b1c766593003b21ccb4298b4b71 General questions: When doing this CPU overclocking, do i need to adjust my CPU cooler - Such as pump speed, fan speed or perhaps even fan speed of my case fans ? All help or feedback is very much appreciated, and i am sorry for the rookie questions & mistakes.

Haha, i want to so badly, cause i find it fun overclocking my GPU. But as said earlier, even tho i did ton of research on the CPU overclocking subject, it still scares me a little haha. Dont know why

Well well well, would you look at that. BIOS is updated to newest one available from ASUS, and suddenly it works as it should. Here is some screenshots from after i updated to this new BIOS. Cinebench r15 improvement: https://gyazo.com/4b73b5db45743fd38e5570852a791d37 HWiNFO core speed: https://gyazo.com/dd2324f7a71ca054acfac432ff8f70ba HWiNFO temp: https://gyazo.com/fb63d7ce3becedf42f66c8f651604134 So apparently updating BIOS to the newest version, fixes the issue for the i7-9700K not Turbo Boosting as it should. I find it abit weird a bios version would fix that, but apparently does. Thanks alot for the help guys. Much appreciated.

Alrite, i figured out current BIOS version is an old one, version 0506. And the current version is 0905. That is now downloaded. So now i just plug it on my USB, let the USB sit in the pc, reboot and go into BIOS -> Tools -> Flash new BIOS/Update BIOS - Is that correct?

Yea so ive heard. And regards to the automatic OC or AI Overclocking. Ive heard good and bad things about it. Bad things being something like the AI Overclocking suddenly thinks it can run 5.5GHz because the system has been idling for a few hours, and then on restart it booted up with 5.5GHz etc. But also heard some good things about it. However, isn't there anyway to get Turbo Boost to work with my Asus board, without having to directly overclock my CPU ? It seems VERY ODD to me, that JUST because i use a asus z390 board, i cant use default Turbo Boost. UPDATE: I googled abit and found this thread, from this specific website as well. Seems like he have exactly same issue as me. Same CPU and same Mobo. He fixed it by updating BIOS, so i guess that is my next step? However, is there a way to check current BIOS version without having to go into BIOS or?

Well i guess that makes sense. It just annoys me that i cant even to run as default tbh. And i wanted to see where 4.6GHz is through benchmarks and such, before i started to overclock anything. Also, when it comes to CPU overclocks, i have done alot of research on the subject, however don't feel quite confident in doing so, even tho i want to really badly.

Which items are you refering too ? Will reset bios to default work as well? Or only CMOS. So to understand this correctly. What you're saying is that, when it runs 3.6GHz on all cores, it will hit TDP at 95w and therefor not go into Turbo Boost, cause then it will break the TDP of 95w? And this is only something is occuring with Asus ?

Not quite sure i understand what you mean by that? Sorry. https://gyazo.com/90a15707b77a5df409da404826a382b0 The 3rd column from the left, shows MAX TEMPS when under load. Running several Cinebench r15 & r20 for 5-10 minutes.

Well I havent touched anything in BIOS myself, but i noticed that the company who build my system have. I went into BIOS earlier for the first time, and noticed that XMP I was active, and i assume was enabled by the company who build the system for me. This picture shows the last settings saved: https://gyazo.com/62b499587baae183f5a02ed63414fb69 And i am not thermal throttling, as you can see in the pictures on the thread. I've got a NZXT Kraken X72 cooler. Yeah its super weird, and i cant locate anything called Intel Turbo Boost in my BIOS at all. Only that "Turbo Mode" which is already enabled, but i doubt that is was im looking for. I've got a CORSAIR RMx Series RM750x PSU.

Hey guys. For information my specs are: Intel Core i7 9700K / 3.6 GHz Coffee Lake Processor Tray ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-F GAMING I did some Cinebench R15 and R20 to see how my CPU was performing under load.And i noticed that under 100% load, all 8 core's was sitting on 3.6GHz.This should be the table of Intel Turbo Boost for i7-9700K. Core 1: 4.9 GHz Core 2: 4.8 GHzCore 3: 4.7 GHzCore 4: 4.7 GHzCore 5: 4.6 GHzCore 6: 4.6 GHzCore 7: 4.6 GHzCore 8: 4.6 GHz So i assume it should hit 4.6GHz when all 8 cores is under 100% load, however it sits at 3.6GHz. Here is some screenshots of temps & clock speed from HWiNFO. https://gyazo.com/90a15707b77a5df409da404826a382b0 https://gyazo.com/0dac8283744e385c9898bbb183727d79 So it for sure ain't thermal throttling. I then went into BIOS to check if Turbo Boost was disabled, but i can't even locate it in BIOS. Only thing i can find is Turbo Mode (see picture: https://gyazo.com/8c3301bdd902affbd896e4cb4b6ae3ef) Which is enabled, and i dont even think that is the one im looking for. Thanks in advance.

Yeah i think i get the same. My core clock hits 2130 and clocks down to 2085 and staying stable there throughout the load. I got CORSAIR Vengeance RGB 16GB: 2x8GB DDR4 3000MHz

Ahh cool. Yeah i'd wish I could push my card just a tad more. But everytime i move either core clock or memory it become unstable in some of my stress tests / benchs, and can't have that :D. I guess next step is to overclock my CPU... Interesting, cause im a noob. Haha

I think the chassis fans has something to do with it. Regardless, i will do some testing later, where i set my chassis fans to follow my gpu temp curve, to see if the "Fan 2" hit the same RPM's as my GPU Fans. Another link talking about the above. https://rog.asus.com/articles/gaming-graphics-cards/strix-gtx-10801070-what-is-asus-fancontrol/ EDIT: Ok, well that was an easy quick test haha. I went to my chassis software and put my front fans to run at Fixed 100% Fan Speed, and it did not change Fan 2 in either GPU-Z or AB. God damn. No clue then

Well tbh, i actually don't know. However, i searched for 'Asus Strix 2070 Fan Headers', and this video popped up: Could it be, that Fan 2 is the chassis fans ? As talked about in the above video? (Video lenght:1.32min)

Dennis, i've done a superposition bench now. https://imgur.com/a/MV1ycHR Whats yours look like?

Im not quite following you there?? Reporting "those" ? The 2 last fans or what do you mean. Sorry :).

Hmm that is super weird. Is it because Fan 2 is something completely different? And not exactly "Fan 2 of the Asus Strix GPU". Because if that was the case, that would be weird that the fans arent running in sync - Also on top of that, it should show a Fan 3, since there are 3 fans on my current GPU.

Ahh then it makes alot more sense. Thanks alot dude. I wondered if you maybe had any inputs on a 2nd issue i got, regarding Fan 1 & Fan 2 showing different rpms at same Fan Speed %. (GPU-Z & AB). Im refering to this thread:

Ok, so im better off sticking with my current core clock oc, and leave memory where its at. Another thing. I've noticed that in Afterburner, Power Limit goes to "1" even tho the current Power % only is at 90-110%. Any clue why that is?

Thanks for your feedback. As Jurrunio says, 125% is max, so unfurtunately cant change that. I have not. But i can do some later tonight. And post here. And looking through GPU-Z while under load, it seems vRel & VOp is my PerfCap reason. But for some reason it says in Afterburner that i hit Power Limit alot, even tho its still is at 90-110% PL, so dont know what is up with that. Well, as soon as i hit +700 memory it will crash, with core clock being on +140. However I havent tested how far i can take memory with having core clock on +0, is that worth a try? I've heard some people talk about that memory clock has a big performance increase on the 20 series.

Hey guys.I wanted to get some feedback and guidance on my overclock for my Asus Strix 2070 RTX, and hope that some of you can help me I messed around with it alot the last few days, and ended up getting these results which seem stable so far (4 days in & no crashes nor artifacts)Voltage Core: 0%Power Limit: 125%Temp. Limit: 88c (max)Core Clock: +140Memory Clock: +600Max Boost Clock: 2085Max Voltage: 1.050vMax Temp. Under Load: 65cMax Fan Speed: 75%Under max load or 99-100% GPU usage it runs 2085MHz & 7600MHz stable in games, 3D Mark Fire Strike & TimeSpy, MSI Kombustor & Heaven.First of all, what is your thoughts on this overclock of my Asus Strix 2070 RTX ??Secondly, i tryid to get some more juice out of it. But as soon as i increase clock or memory it will start crashing. I then thought about changing the Core Voltage % slider, but when i did that, it started to crash.I then tryid to mess around with the voltage curve, without any success.I did some research on the Voltages with the RTX series, and came to the conclusion, that most people don't have any success, getting any extra juice by changing the Core Voltage % slider.What is your thoughts / opinions on this subject?It is very much appreciated.Thank you in advance.Best regards,Katulen - OC Newbie
