9900k: 4.9 GHz at 1.27 volts is good?

[Melodist]

I've just tested my 9900k and I can run it at 4.9 GHz with 1.27 volts, is that good?

 

Going beyond 4.9 is not doable, I mean, there is no merit, if I push 5 GHz, then not even 1.3 will be stable so apparently the chip's sweetspot is 4.9 GHz at 1.27 volts.

4.9 1.27v avx is great, i need 1.36 for mine PepeHands.

What's your loadline calibration?

What are your temps?

Z390 Designare by Gigabyte with Turbo (I've read its level 6).

Temps are 90 package with Prime 95 small fft 12.

But oddly enough, the higher I go, the harder it crashes, does the motherboard have a powerlimit which throws me out?

 

There are 3 power limits in the bios and one is with TDP. I remember when I ocd my 6900k, I set it to max and there are very low values behind them on auto.

 

Should I increase the power limits? I think these throw me out.

 

*Edit* Found the section in a video, can't take a picture right now myself.

Try using high llc, i have had better results with it on my z390 pro wifi then turbo.

I used to have long duration and short duration power limit, does anybody know which these parameters are on gigabyte boards?

 

Are they the two package power limits? Package power limit 1 tdp watts and package power limit 2 watts translating to short and long duration power limit?

Okay so I realized, the computer crashed because the CPU VID peaked over 1.35 and then it shut down.
