Undervolting a 9900k

[Aciderr]

my mobo is the Z390 Aorus Master, i noticed that the CPU at 5ghz takes about 1.344-1.355 volts. if anyone here knows how to undervolt it just to see if it can still perform good with lower voltage an answer would be very appreciated.

i already tried lowering VCore from 1.2 to 1.195 but that made the voltage go to 1.18

I mean 1.35v to sustain 5ghz all cores is not the worse thing ever, is it OC or MCE?

 

What frequency are you trying to sustain while undervolting?

i overclocked it myself, didnt touch the button on the mobo. im trying to keep it at 5ghz, i just want to try lowering it to get better cooling.

Usually it's the other way around... you need better cooling to get a lower voltage requirement, the hotter the CPU is the more electricity it needs to keep it's clocks, the more electricity it needs the hotter it gets and so it's a vicious cycle.

oh, alright i get it now. thanks!

You should be able to lower voltage a bit, a decently binned 9900K should do 5Ghz at 1.3-1.32v AFAIK. Have you looked at LLC settings at all?

No I haven't
