Hi, 

 

When intel turbo boost technology is turned on in my bios my i9-9900K runs at 4.7ghz instead of base 3.6. I always turn it off b/c of my nightmares with ASUS motherboard and their software auto overclocking led me into a mess and my lack of understanding of overclocking. Which I've quickly learned about since rebuilding and troubleshooting.

 

Should I just let my computer run at 4.7 and not adjust any other overclocking parameters aka let the gigabyte motherboard auto adjust? It has been running stable for about a month at base clock with memory XMP on. 

 

Specs:

Recently rebuilt my PC as ASUS AI software destroyed my chip.

Chip: Intel I9-9900K - brand new old one fried due to ASUS AI auto overclocking

Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus Master Z390

Video Card: RTX 2070

RAM: Vengeance 4x16 64 gig ram - XMP on at 3200

Cooling: NZXT water cooled chip. 6x case fans in addition to water cooling fans

PSU: Right now EVGA 850 GQ have a Corsair Hx850i coming in.

Pure stock operation of the 9900K would have Turbo Boost Technology enabled, and "MultiCore Enhancement" Disabled <- This is the motherboard's fiddling for a technical OC. You could also be sure to set base clock to 100 MHz. XMP is also technically an overclock, but I've never heard issues with it on Intel platforms.

Main: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti, 16 GB 4400 MHz DDR4 Linux - Fedora
