i9-10900k

So, I bought a pre-built computer with an Intel i9-10900K and an Nvidia 3080 I'm pretty sure my system is overclocked (my temperatures run high on idle and in games) but I'm unsure how to confirm or even what I can do to fix this. I was wondering if anyone knew how to or has any tutorials on...

Hey there! So i'm thinkin upgrading from 32gb 3600mhz to 64gb 4000mhz with an i9-10900k cpu, and from what I can tell from what people been sharing with me here it's kind of a silicon valley lottery whether its gonna work or not. Is there anybody here who have experience trying out this build...

I know it sounds crazy but hear me out. My 10900k started working 10c cooler than usual, both idle (dropped from 40-45 to 30-35) and while stress testing (dropped from 85ish to 75ish). It literally happened overnight. I didn't tweak anything or did nothing. Just booted up today and the temps...

Hi there! So I overclocked my 10900k to 5ghz, and when I play games or work on music in a DAW(processor demanding stuff) it nicely bounces around 4.8 and 5ghz (it runs at that frequency even when it's idle cause I set it to constantly be at that speed), with temps being under 70 degrees (...

Hey there! So I just found myself a little bit puzzled bu this. I use a 3080ti with an i9-10900k, and everything works just fine. But for some reason I found myself looking whether this cpu bottlenecks my gpu and it says here that it bottlenecks it at whopping 50%...

Hello all. Just completed a build running a 10900k (turbos up to 5.1GHz) and Noctua NH-D15. Everything went well during the install; put the right amount of thermal paste using Noctua's included NT-H1 and eyeballed it the best I could when it came to lowering the heatsink onto the CPU. Once I...

Just bought a new computer and I'm trying to overclock i9-10900K but I stumbled upon a strange issue I just can't figure it out on my own. I can get a stable 5.1GHz OC without any issues. The temps when stress testing (prime95, OCCT, Cinebench, etc) are in the mid-60s! That's really low, right...

Hello all, I’m going crazy trying to figure out what is wrong with my fresh build. CPU: i9-10900k Cooler: NZXT X63 Kraken Mobo: MSI Z490 MAG Tomahawk Ram: G.skill Royal 16GB 3600 Storage: 1x Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB NVME. 1x Samsung 860 Evo 2TB 2.5" SSD PSU: Seasonic Focus+ 850w 80+Gold GPU...

Hello, So here are my specs i9-10900kf rtx 3080 colorful z490 vulcan x 20 colorful 32gb ram gamemax 1050w psu When I go to bios and change EIST ( Intel SpeedStep ) to off, Overclocking doesn't work anymore for some reason, I'm able to change the core clock in bios but when I do nothing happens...

I am aware of Cinebench and Realbench but are there any other tests to use for stability? I have prime95 but I have been told trying to run AVX2 with Prime95 with 10 series is a waste of heat power and not indicative since most coolers can't handle it. I have a D15 black What other tests can I...

I just got a i9-10900k and without much of an overlock is running at 38-42 C when idling. Is this normal or should I bump up the fan speeds?

Hey everyone, recently I built a high end PC and have been experiencing poor performance in games. A good example is in GTAV where I get around 80 fps at 1440p and during the graphics benchmark even dip below 40fps. Compared to others with the same specs, I should be getting upwards of double or...

I’ve been wanting an upgrade for years and finally I could justify it. I built my dream machine: Asus Z490-E Strix i9-10900k 64gb G.Skill 3600 18Q (16x4) ROG Thor 1200w PSU ROG Ryujin AIO EVGA GTX 1080 (to be upgrade this Fall) Now I know a lot of it is way overkill, but the goal here was “I...
