Hey guys so i recently finished my pc build with a i9 9900k and 16gb of 3600mhz RAM. But when went into my bios for overclocking, I notice that whenever I put my cpu speed above 4.8 GHz, my pc just freezes minutes after booting. Also, if I put my ram speed to over 3200mhz, the pc doesn't even boot at all, currently I'm using my pc with 4.8ghz and 3200mhz and its working fine but is there any way I can max it out?

You probably have those as the OC limit unless you give it more volts, which can damage the CPU, if you do too much for to long.

I could use some help with this!

please, pm me if you would like to contribute to my gpu bios database (includes overclocking bios, stock bios, and upgrades to gpus via modding)

Have you increased the voltage at all?

Hey guys really sorry I didn't reply, so when I went on YouTube to find an overclocking tutorial it said that there was an auto voltage feature

Yeah, auto voltage "features" should never be used ever. You should know what a certain CPU likes by researching it online and play with it yourself.
