What Settings do I need to use to get my 9600k to over 5 ghz?

[Hyrogenes]

I am currently running an i-5 9600k on a asus prime z390p. I have 1.35v and im running at a stable 5.0 overclock. Whenever I try to push it further it crashes. I am very new to overclocking and Im not really sure what voltages to use. I have an NH-14S  cooling it and my case is the rosewill spectra d100 so I have tons of airflow. I am running temps in the 60's currently even while under load so I have a large amount of room to go. If anybody knows the voltages I should try in order to push it to around 5.3. Or should I even push it to over 5? This is my first build so I don't have any spare parts lying around so I cant go and do something that would break any of the parts. Tysm in advance.

You may be already at the practical limit. More voltage might be enough to get you a little more, but IMO really not worth it for the tiny gain.

Sounds good ty man

To find out use Intel extreme tuning utility but after finding out just update your manual overclock.

 

I used it with my i9 10900k to see if it could run stable at 3.5ghz and it did but it needs more that a 360mm AIO to stay cool in some benches. 

I tried 5, 5.1 and 5.2 as well but stock with TVB beats 5 and 5.1ghz so only 5.2 and 4.3 are worth it. Right now it does not need the overclock so I run it with the Intel power limit off and use the boosts. 

 

With my i7 8086ks they have been overclocked to 5ghz since I got them. They need the overclock to run the RTX 2080 tis efficiently.  It is not worth going past 5 or 5.1ghz since there is no gain until I got to 5.3ghz and that is way past my cooling solution. Getting past 5.2 was a pain so I used Intel extreme tuning utility to test.

Some cpu hit the limit of itself my previous 8600K and 9600K can't get pass 4.9GHz,

My 3rd 8600K purchase reach 5.1GHz with the same system.

1.35v 5ghz is a VERY good chip

Does that mean that ill likely be able to push it further? Or do some cpus just not go over even if they look like they are doing great at 5.

even with a flat voltage curve ur looking at just under 1.4v for 5.1, and it can only be more, not less, i wouldn't bother, the difference isn't big. You can also oc your ring bus to 4.7-4.8ghz for extra performance
