Overclocking results

I've been playing around with overclocking results and finally found a stable-ish build but was hoping for some input. Below is my computer specs. I'm running at 1.37 volts and the only time I've been leery so far and shut down the test was with cinebench when it spiked core temps to mid 80s per HWMonitor. Otherwise temps sit between 60 and 70 maybe blipping to 78 ish on spikes. My biggest problem was intel XTU did not want to run and would freeze immediately after hitting benchmark. First time it ran was with 1.37 volts. I know 1.4 is like absolute max but wanted some input.

 

I followed the gigabyte OC pdf with these settings:

clock ratio 50

uncore 44

gigabyte load line calibration on extreme (one up from turbo)

TJMAX still on auto

-----The following disabled----

VTD and intel graphics

intel speed shift

CPU enhanced halt

C3, C6/7, C8, C10

Enhanced multi core performance

Intel turbo boost

 

 

Aorus pro wifi

i7-9700k with thermal grizzly kryonaut paste

kraken x72 cooler with 3 push fans (how much would adding 3 more for pull decrease temps considering spiking temps?)

EVGA 2080 xc hybrid OC to +140 and +1100 stable (downclocked by 10 and 100 for safety/ reliability)

16gbs 3600 -- 15 clock ram XMP is enabled

1tb nvme ssd

1tb normal ssd

 

case is cooler master h500m

two intake 200mm

140mm intake 2080 aio rad in front of intake 200mm

one exhaust 140mm

the three 120s as push-exhaust for the kraken

 

 

EDIT: My heaven scores went from 194.1 and 4890 pre OC to 194.8 and 4908 so is overclocking even worth it for gaming?

too loose uncore if you ask me

Heaven only tests GPU. Pre OC means before CPU OC right?

I had it at 47 like gigabyte said, went to 45, then 44. went back and forth with turbo vs extreme. honestly was just pulling at strings trying to get intel XTU to run at all. that pre OC was for the cpu correct.

keep it 300-500MHz below core clock, otherwise performance start getting hampered

 

Why not use turbo LLC and higher core voltage? The more the LLC the greater the voltage spikes when power draw differs.

then of course it didnt help a GPU benchmark

I can try increasing the uncore, i thought gigabytes LLC is like how linear the power delivery is, higher LLC means less flucuations.
