i7 9700k OverClock

[Trickster]

So i bought this PC secondhand from someone, and it had a 4.9Ghz ovcerclock on it. I had checked the temps and were seeing around 90-94c.

 

I saw the voltage was at 1.30v, so i lowered it to 1.25v. just tried running prime95, and half the cores had stopped working.

 

What do i need to do to get this a stable overclock?

I see 8 cores and 8 threads ? What’s the problem ?

The temperatures im getting on the cpu at idle and on half-ish load.... im getting about 50-60c idle temps and 95ish load temps.

It means that the CPU is unstable and needs more voltage,You lowered it too much.

Try a custom fan curve for the CPU,if that doesn't work well, then simply buy a better cooler.

I lowered the voltage cause it was hitting 95ish under small loads, it has dropped a little but not much. It's only on a 120 coolermaster AIO, i have a 360AIO coming in an hour, so going to test that out

Good luck with the new cooler

I didn't OC it, i bought the pc like it, its from PCspecialist , i bought it from the prev owner......so yeah. temps are still high on it..  seems to hit 91c still on prime95.
