So stick to software instead of using the asus bios hardware? Right

Yes I know that. Awesome thanks! I was actually working on a backup of my plex server. Was transferring it to and External HDD. Busy doing homework, click things and didnt read. Deleted all 3.5 tb on accident. I was actually copying it over to set this up in the first place. I proved I needed it to myself in the process

Is it possible to do this in Asus Bios for raid? Complete noob at this

I am currently running my PC with a 500gb samsung boot drive (windows), 128gb SPCC boot drive (ubuntu). And 3 HHDS. 1tb, 4tb, 5tb that I have collected over the years. I am eventually looking to build a NAS but in the meantime I use my HDDS for such. I am looking at my best options for a redundant storage setup potentially? (for the meantime). Is it at all possible to use the 1 and 4tb drive in unison with the 5tb as a redundant? What other setups could I possibly configure for now?

So far from all my testing my vrms haven’t gone anything over 50C. I got 4.9 stable at 1.25 and 5 at 1.28. They both got the same temps, with the 1.28v maybe 2-3 degrees higher. Both were in the low 90’s though. Will do that as soon as I’m home. But do you think rma ing is worth it then?

I have AVX turned off because I’m using a newer version

I’m not going for a extreme OC personally. The board seems to generally have had success with ghz without issues

Long Long process short story: I have been having some problems with my 9900k, with Overclocking (first timer) and temps (240mm AIO). I want to make a first time custom loop sometime in the next few months, potentially. But I need help with my current cooling solution, the overclock, and the potential of returning the parts tomorrow; as it is the last day I can go in and RMA both the CPU and MOBO for direct replacements or store credit. 1st.) Prime 95 has killed any OC I have thrown at it, aside from like 1.1v @4.6ghz with temps at like 99 throttling. 2nd.) Ive gotten 4.9ghz & 5.0 ghz stable, but at 1.2v @4.8ghz Ive gotten the only temp range that I am wanting to stick to. Here are those results from my reddit post: 1.2v @ 4.8ghz - AVX offset @3 - LLC @5 - 45 Cache - XMP 1 - VCCIO @1v - System Agent @1.1v. Im running stable on real bench 83/84 degree temps - Aida64 full load with AVX on im sitting at about 80/81(ie: 4.5ghz because of offset) and without AVX on im sitting at 79/80 (Full 4.8ghz). FPU only hitting a max of 93 but settled to 91. Cinebench capping out at 83-84. 3rd.) A lot of the feedback I have received so far is that the issue is potentially the cooler? But I think its the chip maybe, i dont know. The cooler seems to be working fine. I just recently upgraded from a 6700k, which yes I know the 9900k is a completely different beast with thermal monstrosity, but the cooler I know is working fine. Yet, I've started to doubt that with all the outside thoughts on it. 4th.) The reason I think it is the chip is that now, turning my OC off with just XMP on I am getting ridiculous temps. Cinebench is spooling up to 91-93. CPUZ is telling me voltage is at 1.234v (after the .05 v droop I think I have), this is with the cpu staying at 4.7 ghz. 15 seconds into Aida is sending me to the upper 90 degrees & 1.288-1.305v (auto LLC is going to 2). And then it drops down to 4.1ghz to keep temps at the 70 degree @ 1.1v after droop. (This is with everything set to Auto, but Asus multicore Disabled. Enabled yielded a few more degrees)(XMP set to auto keeps cinebench temps down to 88) Do I just have something really wrong in the bios with the OC turned off that I'm not realizing? I have gotten the best results temp wise from my 4.8ghz OC. 4.7 Was a little lower as well, but 4.8 yielded temps that were acceptable. I am getting the lowest boot temps, stress test temps, everything with the 4.8 OC. What do I do? I am willing to work with the OC all night, but I do need to decide what to do. The chip itself seems decent on an OC standpoint. I got 5ghz running at I think 1.28v. Temps were just 10 degrees or so higher than 4.8ghz. Also it looks like my idea Vdroop is about .046 ( 1.2v in bios, 1.154 under load) (LLC @ 5). Ask away I'll be very responsive so I can hopefully get some insight on what to do! 9900k Asus Rog Strix Gaming -E z390 32gb Ballistix 3200mhz ram (dual channel) Corsair h100i v2 240mm AIO
