9900k

Hey, I'm just wondering that if I were to overclock my 9900k, would I have to overclock it to 3.6 to 5ghz or could I, for example, set it to 4ghz?

Good Morning everyone, Having a little issue at the moment when my PC will not power on. Here are the TS steps I have already taken. 1.) Did a power self test of the PSU with nothing plugged in, PASSED. 2.) Plugged in each connector 1 by 1 and doing a self test, self test FAILS on plugging in...

Hello everyone. So I´m currently cooling my stock running 9900k with a Dark rock 4 pro and I´m getting weird temps. Idle: ~40°C Cinebench R20: ~87°C XTU Stress test 5min: ~ 70°C I´ve seen people online with this setup getting <30°C Idle and <65°C Load on this. My case is the Lian Li PC011. I...

Hello, I'm quite new to overclocking so apologies if this is a bit stupid. Recently I just got a new Maximus XI Hero and 9900k and decided it would be a good time to start overclocking, I've been following some guides and ended up testing 5GHz at 1.28V. So I go and put in 1.28V manual voltage...

I am building a new computer. I will get an Intel i9-9900k and plan on overclocking. The motherboard I plan on purchasing is the MSI Z390-A PRO I haven't been able to find an answer to whether or not this board is any less capable of overclocking than per say a Asus ROG Strix Z390-E. Is there...

With the Z390 ACE my 9900k was 5Ghz stable at ~ 1.300 VR out - V core was 1.360 at mode 3 LLC Now with the 4 phase ASUS z390 strix E I can’t get it stable event at 1.350 V core , i have followed most guides out there Disabled what needed to be disabled and enabled it to see if there is a...

I am planning to buy a I9-9900K and im looking to buy a motherboard with it but cant decide between these 3 listed below. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HCXT591/ref=emc_b_5_t...

I have 9900k and when i run a stress test with intel xtreme utility then the screen go black and the amg gpu (r9 390) crashes .Default settings no overclocking

Hey all, I have done my first overclock ever of any CPU. I am able to get my 9900k to 5 ghz on all cores. (sometimes it hovers between 4998 and 5004 mhz) I have also set the ring frequency to 47, . Is this ok? I wasn't sure how to do the voltage so I left it on auto to try to test the...

So i have an i9-9900K CPU and Corsair H115i Pro AIO Cooler . What is the best thermal compound to use? I should give on more details about the question. When building my PC last week, not having a "branded" thermal paste, but just some i purchased from AliExpress a year ago, i used what i got...

View: https://imgur.com/a/ufdcz70 I have the cpu core voltage set to 1.300 and the VCCSA & VCCIO set to 1.220 with the LLC at High. CPU-Z reads the core voltage at 1.320. My question is, why are the voltages so high at the VID readout? I think I have an understanding of what the VID is but...

Hi all, I just completed my first build for a new editing rig because it seemed far more cost effective than purchasing one. I do professional film editing, and buying a custom rig seemed wasteful in comparison to building my own. First off, thank you to EVERYONE on this forum -- there is so...

Hi, i have a Corsair H100i v2 and i think i'm going to buy a 9900KF; do you think that the cooler will be enough to run this CPU at stock clocks or should i go for a 280mm radiator? I need a CPU that last for at least 3-4 years, i live in Argentina and the prices are really high (1 dollar = 55...

I recently bought myself an i9 9900k CPU and installed it the same way I have with various CPUs before. However, upon doing so windows (10) would start up and freeze at "Preparing automatic repair". After trying multiple times and failing, I removed the 9900k and replaced it with my 8700k I used...

I know this gets asked a lot, but problem is i always find very different answers that confuse me. I have new build with i9 - 9900k, MSI Nvidia 2080ti gaming trio, 64 gb ram, 3 monitors, 1 nvme drive, 3 SSD drives, 3 HDD drives, 1x capture card, dark rock pro 4 cpu cooler and 4 fans. And will...

Hi, i have new 9900k and its behaviour scared me. I searched on google and here and I know clocks are supposed to move around a bit in idle state but mine jumps super extremely - its jumping constantly from super low 800 to very high 4200 or 4800 and very fast. It changes from min to max within...

before I ask the main question, I'm wondering am I freaking out too much? I'm legit so scared right now that even a milligram of difference might screw up the entire system. I've heard people not being able to boot into windows, and is able to boot successfully after they reapplied thermal...

Is this combination ok? Or some bottleneck could appear? CPU: Core i9 9900k GPU: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB GDDR6 Regards!

Hello there! Something very weird is happening to me, here's the story : my friend and I wanted to make a 9900k direct die config onto the Ghost S1 (yes it's dumb), so we have some hardware in common : 9900k direct die (with same liquid metal and same direct die kit), stock bios settings, Big...

i'll be overclocking a 9900K either on a maximus xi formula with air cooled vrms or maximus xi hero. Which will yield higher performance?

Hello All, I recently assembled a new computer with the goal of building a silent system. The system is built around an Intel i9-9900K in a Gigabyte Z390 Designare mobo. The system is very speedy and meets all of my performance expectations. Unfortunately, there is a sound that emanates from...

I just recently put my pc together two weeks ago, I installed the Corsair H150i on my I9-9900k. I was having trouble keeping the cpu cool at the stock 3.6GHz under normal conditions. I swapped the included thermal paste with Artic Silver 5 and turned on the Intel turbo boost at 5.0GHz. Running...

I just upgraded my motherboard and cpu to a Maximus hero xi and i9-9900k but it won’t give me any signal and there are no beeps. I upgraded from a Ryzen 1600x and rog strix b350-f and that was running fine. I took out the ram and there was still no beeps. Do you think I need to rma or is it...

hello so i found a deal where they have no huge difference in price so i was wondering which one to choose i will match the rig with an rtx 2060!any ideas?thnx

I just got the 9900k and I'm using a NH-D15 for cooling. I'd like to OC it though. I only will be using it for gaming. I stream and render videos maybe once every couple months. Would the D15 provide enough cooling for an OC if I mainly just game on it with the occasional workload every now and...

Hey, I'm a bit new to the overclocking scene and I have OC'ed my i9 9900k to 5.0GHz. Running 3DMark (TimeSpy Extreme) I am hitting 90-94 on the CPU Stress portion of the test. I find this confusing as I have a 360mm Radiator, the Kraken x72. Is there any advice anyone can give about how to lower...

PC specs are down below. Please Note - I have a few suspicions of the origin of the problem, but I'm not decisive or too sure on what it is, though, I'm not expert in computers. Also, sorry for the long post but I feel like all the small details may be important. Bit of Background I did not...

I am building new system and i am curious if those extreme 9900k temps that people are talking about are really that crazy? Is it not possible to have reasonable temps with great air cooler and good amount of quality fans? I don't plan to overclock and if yes, then only slightly not anything...

Hi everybody, In short, I Overclocked my 9900k to 5ghz, the vCore was at 1.32. While running prime95 (blend) within the first 5 minutes the pc suddenly shut down and rebooted back into windows, no blue screen, simply a reboot. No surprise that it happened when the Blend test was at its "hot...

Hi everybody, I have 9900K with Z390 Aorus Master board. I am also equipped with Noctua NH-D15 cooler. With all the information about the (notorious) MCE setting in the bios, I couldn't find a definite conclusion. I know the majority of people prefer no to use it cause you can just dial a...

So I took a screenshot of the temps with idle and under load playing a game are these temps ok for 9900K? i have the H115i Pro RGB.

Hi My old PC had 32GB, which was a bit tight for my taste, so I am looking for new box with 64 GB. I am looking through QVL for several boards from Asrock, Megabyte and Asus. They list very few 64 GB modules and all of them are out of stock (like F4-3000C14Q-64GTZ, F4-3000C15Q2-64GVR...

I have already decided to delid my 9900K because I am very close to thermal limits in Cinebench and stress tests. Rockit 89 is waiting for me in the next room. Beyond that fact, I have also placed an order for the Der8auer Direct Die guard, which is something I am not 100% certain about. In his...

Hello. I'm running a system with an Intel i9 9900k and a Corsair h80i water-cooler. If I stress-test the CPU using aida64 it will immediately spike it's temperature to 95c (instead of slowly build up, it goes from 34c to 95c almost instantly). Is it safe to run the stress test? It reaches that...
