I'm just using CL16 3200mhz G.skill trident Z RGB Profile detected with my Z390 Aurus ultra motherboard no problem. Only problem I've had is the god awful lighting software. I wanted my motherboard lights to cycle color but the memory to use the gradiant rainbow effect. The Gigabyte rgb...

Ok I went back to default stock speed (4.8ghz on my motherboard because of the MCE) Its giving normal even temps on cores So it was the overclock that did it..

Ran some games and benchmarks even temps its just prime doing it though none of what I tested used as much cpu as prime If something was wrong though wouldn't it show doing other things?

Doing a few more tests I'm getting mid high 70's on a few cores and 4 were in low 40s This is using Prime 95s small FFTs test

So I was using cinebench and get fairly even temps on all cores with 6c difference between lowest and hottest core But using Prime95 there was a difference up to 17c on two of the cores never seen anything like it before This is a 9700k at 5ghz temps max 80c on prime 69c on cinebench

Temps are fine, I've got minimal cooling.. just the back and front stock fan from the meshify c, and my ncotua nh15s 1 fan i was getting 61c max after 3dmark time spy Very happy so far, it looks so cool glad I went with the tinted version but pics are impossible to show what it looks like in...

So I just received my 9700k updated bios, installed windows and first thing I did was install hwmonitor to check temps and the demo version of 3dmark on steam HW monitor shows it reaches 4804mhz on all 8 cores According an article I read it says the 9700K is an eight-core and...

I'll be getting a 9700k soon so I'm refreshing my limited knowledge. My first and to date only overclock is on my current Ivy Bridge 3570k to a measly 4.3ghz ( I had 4.4ghz but wasn't worth higher temps) using a Zalman CNPS10X performa which is a decent cheap cooler. What did I do...

I'm getting a 9700k that I hope to overclock to 5ghz PSU is a new Corsair RM750x that comes with two 4+4 pin cpu connectors Motherboard is the Gigabyte z390 ultra that has a 4+4 cpu power and an additional 2+2 (split half the 4+4 connector) But do I need this additional power to...
