I'm an idiot lmao. I found it the minimum is set to 5% and the max to 100%. Should I just lower the max?

In the post I mentioned that I made sure the AI overclocking was off. Could it be turning itself on despite me saving the changes of me turning it off? And where would I be able to set it into gaming mode in the bios? If so where so I can check to see if I have it in gaming mode by accident.

I dont see cpu power management in control panel. When I go to power option it shows the two plans, balanced and performance and going into the advanced options for those has no options for cpu power management. I'll look again in the bios for something like that. Thanks for the help!

I recently just updated my bios on my Asus ROG STRIX Z390-F and ever since my 9900k consistently runs at 4.7 GHz even in idle with nothing open (as soon as I log in I open up HWInfo and its at 4.7 GHz). Before I updated my bios I had XMP enabled with Asus multicore enhancement disabled and it would never get that high when using google chrome or any non gaming programs. I have tried disabling XMP and also made sure multicore enhancement was off when using XMP and it still runs at 4.7 GHz all the time regardless if XMP is on or off. I also made sure the power plan setting in windows was set to balanced and AI overclocking is not enabled. Anyone have any ideas on why it's running at 4.7 GHz all the time?

I have the Asus ROG STRIX Z390-F and I updated the bios to use Aura Sync so I could control it through iCUE. I have all my case fans connected to a commander pro and in iCUE had all of them set to silent. The RPMs would stay around 820-950. After the bios update everything was fine but whenever I open a program or a new tab (something light) the fans ramp up to 1500 RPM and slowly go back down. I had never played with the fan curve in the bios (the Qfan control thing) so I don't know what could be causing this. Any thoughts? Edit: Even loading web pages causes the fans to ramp up. I think any little spike in CPU usage causes the fans to ramp up.

Oh lol ok thanks for telling me that

By slower I meant the 16-18-18-36. I don't really understand the timings I just thought that since the numbers are lower the kit is slower

Ok I'll go with the slower kit then thanks!

This RAM I was looking to buy went out of stock and there's another version of it with different timings. The one I was looking to buy had 16-20-20-38 and the one that is in stock right now has 16-18-18-36. I was wondering if I should wait for the faster timing RAM to come back in stock or just buy the slower one (if it doesn't make much of a difference). My CPU is a i9-9900k.

Made a mistake only meant to put CPU but thanks for the help! Thanks I’ll watch that video Good to know thanks

I'm getting a 9700k with plans to overclock it as high as I can. I was going to get the Corsair H150i RGB PRO XT (360mm) but it is out of stock then this got me wondering, would it be better to get the 280mm version and mount it to the front as intake? I heard front intake radiators are better for temps with both the GPU and CPU. Would the 280mm version (H115i RGB PRO XT) be enough to cool a overclocked 9700k or should I buy the regular pro 360mm version until the all black version comes in stock? My case is the Corsair 750D if that helps. Thanks!

I'm getting a 9700k and saw that this CPU doesn't benefit from high speed RAM past speeds of 3000-3200. I was wondering what is the differences between these two RAM modules because one has DRAM and the other has SDRAM. Thanks!

My setup is a 360mm rad on the top of the case as exaust, two 140mm fans in the front as intake, and a 140mm fan at the back as exhaust. There are two 120mm fan mounts on the bottom of the case and was wondering if putting a 120mm fan on the bottom as intake would improve the airflow in the case. If the one fan on the bottom won't make much of an impact I'll just go without it. Thanks!

For my new build I'm getting a i7-9700k and the iCUE H150i RGB PRO XT 360mm cooler and was wondering if it would be a bad idea buying the Corsair LL fans as radiator fans. I saw BitWit's video where he used them on a radiator and they worked better than stock, but I was wondering if the LL fans will be good enough on the rad to cool my CPU or if I should just go with ML's or get Noctua fans. My case fans are LL fans so I wanted to have all LL fans in the case, but if I can't get by cooling my 9700k with LL fans on the rad I'll buy other fans. Thanks!
