I'm reatrded and still OC'd my 9900k to 5ghz with this guide. You're the best!

[Phlnx]

Best OC video for 9900k that I found online! Thank you much for this.

[madd]

Was really waiting for this video. Thank you in advance!

Have a water cooled i9-9900k with an ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero. With this video I managed to jump up my CPU frequency from 3.6Ghz to 5.0Ghz. It helped get rid of a bottleneck on my PC performance.

Thank you so much!

You may remember me, I posted on more than 100 videos on Nov 30th last year my Threadripper 1900X @ 4.985GHz Lithium Hydroxide cooled CPU set 6 world records for "Fastest / Most Productive non-exotic cooled oct-core CPU ever recorded". My fastest R15 score was 2155. That man just OC'd his cpu using an air cooler and with all those services running he hit 2155 just as mine did. This is a monumental step forward. My record(s) have long since been broken, but this man just did it standing on his head, gargling peanut butter. I applaud you, sir.

Thanks for the great guide on ASUS settings that matter in this effort, it was very clear and helpful

I was at 5ghz and 1.35 running temps in the 80s on cinebench R20. I finally settled on 4.9 ghz and 1.25 volts which seems to make no difference in performance on X-plane but runs about 10C cooler. Also using a 15D cooler which actually works better than my old 240 aio.

[SofaKingnerdie]

thanks a TON for the guide! learned so much! my pc is finally stable with overclocking

[markshupe]

Thank you... most useful vid I’ve seen all year

[TheDokoBG]

This has got to be the best, most useful video ever since i9 9900K was announced and released up to date !!! Great work man, i subbed !!!

[fohhee]

Thx for the great guide, it help me to push my 8600K to 5.1 at 1.38v.

[makataleia]

you the beast, just use your setup and all is running nice and smooth, i could go more but this is enough for gaming, streaming and editing :) thanks a lot mate

[chrishexx]

Great video, thanks Roman. My 9900k passed with these settings at 80degreesC. Got a 360+240 Blackice radiator cooling my cpu and gpu.

[Yama_]

Thanks! I’m happy with stable 5Ghz on my 9900k @ 1.25V. The package hasn’t gone past 85c yet. Running a Kraken x72 in a evolv x with the stock fans. This was on a Maximus XI Hero v0602. Silicon showed as 121% before the BIOS update.

[silenthill]

I got the same results by just enabling Asus MCI & setting Vcore manually to 1.35, everything stable @5GHz temps 85c, cooler corsair 150i pro, m/b Asus H-gaming

[TheVillainOfTheYear]

EVGA Z390 Dark gonna be any good? I know you work with Asus, so blink once for yes, twice for no.

followed exactly, once starting the cinebench blue screen, i have the same cpu same mobo in the video

[HardwareNumbrs]

I’m testing the 9900K right now, 5.2 around 1, 35V is possible for daily, probably I have a good sample, over 5.3GHz it seems heating too much even with low vcore, not to bad anyway, tonight ai will push it with the cascade (-95°C) and we’ll see how far I can get. Great video as always, I will definitely use some of your advices, keep rocking!

[brianboucher]

I am building my new rig now with the Asus Maximus Hero XI, the 9900K, an EVGA 2080ti FTW3 vid card, and an EK custom water loop for the CPU. Can't wait 'til I finish the build!!

[majik]

I run a i9 9900k with a Noctua NH-D15s (1x standard 140mm, 1x noctua 120mm, 140mm didn't fit) inside of the NZXT H500 case.

I run 5.1 Ghz at 1.29-1.30 volt (LLC)
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 Master
Best cinebench R15 run: 2253
