I7-9700k OC

[Clyff]

Hello

I've got a 9700k recently and so far it ran in Asus MCE but since the voltages are always higher than they have to be i decided to do it manually

Now is it better to run the CPU at 4.7 Ghz with 1.20Vcore or at 5ghz with 1.33-1-35 Vcore?

Also do i have to do some additional settings besides the normal ones like lower Dram voltage or VCCIO and VCCSA voltage?

Also somehow my LLC doesnt work correctly or idk but in HWinfo i get never the same voltages as Vcore set ive tried it on level 5 to 8, im using an asus maximus hero xi

 

Thanks for replies

This is a good reference point regarding the voltages.

As for the LLC, on ASUS LLC level 5 usually keeps voltage close to what you set manually. I prefer to use Adaptive mode for voltage.

In HWInfo, what reading do you mean? Vcore is what you should pay attention to.

What is your RAM speed and timings?

what exactly does 

SSE Frenquenzy mean?

Yea ive got it on level 5 atm but it still shows around 1.173 underfull load and doesnt adaptive mode also use to much voltage?

My Ram runs at 3600mhz and what do you mean by timings?

[1van]

For 3600 MHz setting Vccsa and Vccio manually to about 1.15-1.2 V should be enough.

Adaptive mode voltages has to be set manually.

 

Make sure to read your motherboard's manual, it's quite detailed.

Aight will look into it

But still does SSE Frequenzy mean that its the optimal clock speed?

so aiming for 4.9 and set avx to -2

keep both a 4.7 and 5.0 profile, then just run whatever you feel like, for gaming there are few games that actually sees a difference from 4.7 to 5.0 with adaptive sync on.
