Overclocking issues

[r1cky-]

Recently, I overclocked my i5 9600k to 4.9 GHz. In the first week, it went well, Aida64 Stress test, went up to 4.9 GHz easily, now It only goes up to 4.6GHz at 100% in the same test with the same BIOS settings for the OC. Is it normal? What can I do?

Try running HWiNFO. It will report reasons for throttling. When your CPU is loaded and running at 4.6 GHz, does HWiNFO show anything?

Was there a recent BIOS or Windows update that might have changed something?

What do you mean by showing anything? It looks the same when I run a system stability test from Aida64. Will it help if I lower my voltage?

When you are running a stress test in AIDA64, do any of the HWiNFO reasons for throttling show Yes in the Current column? You need to find out why your CPU is not running at full speed. If HWiNFO does not show any reasons for throttling then you have to look in your BIOS. Something has changed. When a CPU slows down 300 MHz, there is always a reason why this happened.

Where is this even... I can't find this setting at all... hw info is super confusing, which is why I use hw monitor but still curious..??

Open the Sensors window and scroll down as far as I scrolled down.

 

HWMonitor does not show you this information so it will be much more difficult to find out what your problem is.

No throttling. Aida64 shows me 0% CPU Throttling and HWiNFO shows me the same thing.

If nothing shows throttling, try running CPU-Z. Click on the Save Report (.TXT) button. Copy and paste that data to http://www.pastebin.com or attach that Report file to your next post. This will show how the various CPU registers are setup. Need to check if your BIOS is setting your CPU up correctly.

I’ve solved it. My BIOS settings were screwed up, and I ran other preset. Now they’re good.
