9900K VCORE

I have been using debaurs manual 5ghz 24/7 preset in my maximus xi gene, the adaptive one has always been unstable and I just assumed it was because my 9900K wasnt very good.

 

I was preparing my system for sale and running prime95 to ensure everything was stable and good for the new owner.... then I noticed than Intels XTU/CPU-Z/CPUID HW Monitor where all showing different values for the VCORE and none of them were showing 1.35v for it (which is the preset).

 

So I used XTU to push an extra 0.1v into the VCORE and it's sitting at 80C direct die water cooled while running prime95, does this sound right?

 

What is going on?

Prime 95 Is Awful and you shouldn't use it. Test your thermals using what you are actually going to do. Other then that 80 degrees under load doesnt sound that bad.

That's not what im asking, im asking why I am having to use XTU to manually adjust VCORE rather than what has been set in the BIOS.

Bios can be Wonky, there are reasons why they give you these tools.

Prime95 is an excellent stress test to tell if things are unstable.

sure p95 is likely to be more intensive than any other workload you'll ever use but it's nice to know that your system can handle anything that'll get thrown its way. my on the spot, shitty analogy would be that car manufacturers dont base their cars' safety on how well it holds up under normal conditions, they crash it and do silly shit to it

from my experience with my maximus xi hero it wont give your cpu more voltage than it needs, especially in p95. if im running my 9700k at 5ghz and i give it 1.35v it'll only use 1.3v in non avx, 1.2 in avx as i have an offset. dunno much more than that. also, what do you mean by "debaurs manual 5ghz 24/7 preset

Agree on the p95, i've noticed that allot of people on this forum don't read questions (this is not aimed at you).

 

debaurs manual 5ghz 24/7 is a preset in the bios, you can select it and it automatically configures the BIOS

oh ok, i'll have to look into that. im about to slot a 9900k in my z390 hero but my ambient temp is 26-27C, its not delidded, and all ive got is a bigass noctua. 5ghz without spontaneously combusting would be a feat of engineering and a lot of luck here lol

Well mine seems much happier now, while running at 5.1ghz I couldnt change the cache ratio past 45x and now it's happy at 50x. I think it was running at 1.24-1.28v VCORE this whole time.

should be fine up to 1.3v, not sure about 1.35, depends on when the chip was made, the later chips were all binned and the oc got worse.

its called VDROOP voltage drops under load, increase LLC if you want it gone.

 

LLC is on and it stays at 1.24-1.28v VCORE even when its set on manual not adaptive.

its a recent one, r0 stepping and almost certainly after they started binning for the ks. good news is that 5ghz@1.29v was free and it can almost certainly go lower if i wanted to fuck around with it, bad news is that takes me up to 100C in p95 lmao (80C in benchmarks and games which is passable i guess, would rather not deal with that though lol)

 

e: whoops nevermind, i was gonna run p95 to share my actual voltages with op buuuuuut i am rewarded with a bsod from overheating lmao, no 5ghz for me

What cooler are you running?

 

Bear in mind mines direct die cooled with liquid metal to get 5ghz 80C in P95, whats your AVX offset as you probably wont get 5ghz in p95 without a custom loop?

noctua d15s, think i was running -3 avx offset. in any case ive been planning my amd build for a few weeks now and went ahead and got it 90% done yesterday. the 3600 in there takes almost half the wattage while doing p95 prp checks 20% faster. kinda insane how efficient zen 2 is, cant wait for zen 3
