Overclock won’t take

[MustangG302]

Ok I have a 9900k, an Asia z370H, 16 gb of gskill 3000mhz ram and a nzxt kraken x62 rev 2 to cool the cpu and I was trying to over lock my cpu to 5 GHz at 1.35V and I set everything how I thought it was supposed to be but even after everything including checking to see if my power plan was set at performance it won’t overclock, my ram did but my cpu will only go up to 4.68 GHz

Get a fan of some sort and blow on the motherboard with the case's side panel taken away. Does that help?

It’s not thermal throttling it just won’t overclock at all

How are you measuring your clock speed?

 

That looks a lot like something windows task manager would report in which case it is probably wrong.

You cant see VRM temperature with that board, and I dount you have what it takes to check (a thermal probe will do, infrared camera wont do)

CPU z and task manager they both say the same

Thank you, your so nice. Because your the smartest person that ever existed.

Double check that you're not power limit throttling like this:  

 

Also always use HWInfo for monitoring. The VROUT reading for voltage. Also it's true that some motherboards don't always measure vrm or backside vrm temperatures. Only other thing I can think of is if the higher performance plan somehow got set to something below 100% cpu speed in the advanced settings.

Desktop boards sold on their own usually stop using power limit (i.e. never trigger) when you start overclocking

Ok I just found something when I first boot it is at 5 GHz but after I try to run cinebench it goes back to stock boost levels

[MustangG302]

I couldn’t get a picture at 5 GHz but I got one above stock and I looked for a bit and it’s not cinebench it just drips after about 30 seconds

[MustangG302]

Drops*

Set AVX offset to 0

Have you tried the "fan blowing board" trick yet?

It did nothing but while holding the fan I realized when the overclock stops the rog logo on the board blinks a couple times

[MustangG302]

It also jumps down really low to like 700 MHz for a split second

Could also try intels new overclocking program.

try run HWinfo64 and see if it triggers any throttle reason.

[Mira Yurizaki]

If you don't have MCE or some other all-core turbo boost option available, the maximum core speed for the i9-9900K is:

• 1 - 2 cores loaded: ~5.0GHz
• 2 - 4 cores loaded: ~4.8GHz
• 5+ cores loaded: ~4.7GHz

Assuming you were seeing the clock speed reported while doing a multicore Cinebench test, this is normal.

That’s base for the 9900k I’m trying to overclock all cores what you said is the base boost clock and no the clock speed I am seeing is from cpu z and it is at what you said it’s only turboing not overclcoked

[MustangG302]

Just so everyone who hasn’t read my replies to other people the overclock is working now it just won’t stay working for any more than 30 seconds

As I said, the 5.0GHz frequency is only for one or two cores, which is expected during idling. If you are running a stress test against all of the cores, unless you have MCE or some other all-core turbo enabled, the maximum turbo frequency of the CPU is going to drop.

 

If you're trying to increase the base speed from 3.6GHz, that's something else.

[Mister Woof]

You'll never see base speed under load unless your cooling solution is terrible
