Posted January 22, 2021 So, I overclocked my 9900K to 5.2ghz by justy setting the clock speed to 5.2ghz, adding a negative voltage offset of 60mv and disabling c states and crap. But the CPU is running 1.59v under light loads, is that safe? Under heavy loads it drops to 1.32v though. Mobo is an asus maximus apex xi so my voltage reading is correct. Ram is at 4000 15-14-14-28 1T 1.5v. AFAIK voltage doesn't matter until it is really high and current is the issue, my current is 175A under load which AFAIK is all g.

That's 75 amps more than our entire house can pull before it trips, and each circuit has 10 or 15 amps. elephants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 22, 2021 Yeah that is fine, 1.59V is nothing for a 9900K. 8700K @ 5.2ghz 1.29V, 4x8 Rev.E @ 4040 13-20-20-39 1.7V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except this 1.59 volts would have you running a water loop with a chiller or colder. 1.59v is a lot. That's more than enough to push 5.6ghz all core.

Posted January 22, 2021 That's about as high as I go with my X5690 a 32nm dinosaur.. 1.525 on my 3770K a 22nm dinosaur.. 1.59 is nothing for a 9900K? Holy shite. I gave 1.6v to my 3600xt my second time trying to overclock with no clue what I was doing.. just pushing buttons.. whoops. It took it but probably didn't like it much. Only hit 103 for a few seconds ha.
