Unstable OC

[Radar_usvmc]

I am running an MSI Z390 Gaming edge AC with a 9700k cooled by a 240 clc. 16gb of of ram at 3800MHz and an RM850x PSU. I have plenty of thermal head room with a stable clock of 5GHz at an average package temp at 75c on the CPU and 67c on the board under stress, so plenty of thermal head room. I am pushing 1.360v which I feel is pretty high to achieve 5GHz. My issue is that I feel I should be able to push to 5.1 or 5.2GHz but I can't get it to pass a benchmark. Is the power management of my motherboard the issue at this point? 

 

Any helpful advice would be great, thanks.

 

CPU: Intel Core i7-9700K

You might do better to describe your BIOS settings and those who know may be able to offer device.
