Hi.main 9900k is 5.1 ghz 1.285 volt on noctua nh-d15 and is work perfect.take care

[AJerseyJohnnyEntertainment]

I have the desktop version. I9-9900k in my Alienware area 51m. It runs @5.1ghz 24/7 only using Alienware control center to overclock it. My temps idle are in the high 20’s, low 30’s. Game play temps are in the 70’s-80’s. I’m able to benchmark it at that speed and don’t reach the thermal limit . I realize it’s the silicone lottery winner of the year but it’s true, this chip, with this cooling solution runs amazing . I am powering the laptop with two 300 watt power bricks instead of a 300 and a 120 . People don’t believe me say I’m doing some kind of trick and I’ve put up YouTube’s and ran the programs they ask me to run. Definitely the most amazing laptop I ever owned. Just a FYI my last Alienware laptop actually caught on fire, so I know they are heat boxes . I just got lucky this time

I see the time on your machine 6:56AM. Thanks for dedicating time to this Keep all the great content coming!!!

If my overclock can pass cinebench it is stable use prime95 and enjoy instant bluescreen

[jahRahMF]

Superb tutorial. I’m at i9 - z390 hero xi // 5.0 overclock at 1.3v and stable :o

A slightly lower score than u have but I’ll take it! Great job and thank u

[michaelknowles]

Thanks for the clear tutorial, this was my first time overclocking and the vid was very helpful!

[ryanm]

Awesome informative guide! Great job getting straight to the point and being very clear in your delivery. Just got the Gigabyte Aorus Master Mobo today so this helped a lot! Like and

[vlife]

can you make the update on the new bios layout please

[TechieEasy]

Thank you for this great guide. Easy OC and no time wasted.

Talking about cooling, if u want to overclock ur i9. The Noctua Towers are good too. You dont need a water cooler (for 5-5.1GhZ). Im running 5.0 GhZ at 1.310 Volts, which should get pretty warm already.
A custom fan curve on the Noctua NHu12A and it hasnt seen temperatures over 77°C.
Even after half an hour prime 95 on 5 GhZ it didnt exceed 77 degrees, and fans were not running at full speed.

So if you ask yourself if you really need an AIO for this, no u dont, Noctua got you coveres with their U12A

This helped with my z370 motherboard Aorus Gaming 7 Z370

Good Job. No doubt, there are many other factors & settings worthy of attention, but as you kindly explained in your opening comments, this is a good place to start, and focuses on a few OC basics. The content, was as stated, well organized, and professionally illustrated. Thank-you. On another topic... Now, If we can only get some of our DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software programmers to write ‘optimized’ code to improve problematic ‘Real Time Performance’, during routine playback of complex multi-track recordings, each track, potentially containing, a variety of plug-ins, plus a mic'd or virtual instrument. This unique dataflow, unlike the majority of gaming applications utilized during standard CPU stress testing, often times stalls (even over clocked) CPUs, creating audible (clicks, pops, and annoying timing issues), reportedly due in part, to poor code, targeting or utilizing only a small fraction of Intel's i9-9900 or AMD's flagship processing power. This topic, may not be in your wheelhouse – but it would be great, if folks like yourself, included ‘DAW’ software load testing, such as (AVID’s Pro Tools Ultimate versus Steinberg’s CUBASE Ver.10 versus PRESONUS' Studio One 4 Pro) - against stock & overclocked CPU monster builds of the day, all other high end ram and fast, efficient hardware options being equal for testing purposes. Your 'unbiased' observations, regarding such test results, would be of interest to programmers and thousands of frustrated users, like myself. Perhaps ground breaking content of yet another informative post. Keep on Rock’n. Cheers :)

nice what kind of cpu cooler are you running this 9900k with ? your 27C in windows is damn low comparing to what i am using nzxt z73 AIO cooler and idle is already 32C room temp 26C, and whats your room temp?

[RojasTKD]

If I can ever get my hands on a 9900K, I'm planning on going with an EK P369 Kit for my cooling. In my environment I don't think anything else will do.

[pugmad]

Currently running 5.2ghz on all cores with the i9 9900k on z390 aorus master, 3200mhz aorus ram and aorus waterblocked rtx 2080 ti, heighest temps so far 83c, but it does have 2 360mm radiators to stop it melting.

[JDNasty]

Thank you so much for the simple walk through now I need to find the video that bumped it up a lil more.

[videosbymathew]

1.375v? Yeah, that's going to create a much hotter chip. Small FFT non-AVX Prime95 testing on my system, air cooled, maxes out at 89c at just 1.32v. You're going to also want to run much more stressful and longer-term tests than just Cinebench (which is mainly a benchmark program). I would love to see a video of the 9900k by you with some test results on Prime95, AIDA64, and even RealBench. Definitely don't just rely on Cinebench... it won't show various instabilities.

[general-cromwell]

Great job. I've been in the process of getting my parts for my new PC...I9-9900K, Z390 Aorus Master, and the next component is the cooler...

I want 5Ghz, but, not comfortable with AIOs, I would prefer an air cooler.

I have been doing research but, would like to hear your thoughts.

All the best.

Cheers.

[gamingedition]

Makes me feel better about my 9900k with 2x8gb 3600mhz memory kit req 1.4v for stable 5ghz oc.

[craigsmestad]

Great video! I'm considering the 9900K in a new build.... Thanks for your advice!
