I’m working on my first OC on a new 9700K build on a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro motherboard and I can’t seem to get my chip to run above 4.5Ghz under AVX loads (Prime95).
I’ve been able to get Cinebench to run stable at 5.0Ghz and 1.405V, but I can’t get Prime95 to run unless I drop AVX offset all the way to 5.
I’ve found that I can get Prime95 to run with various combinations of CPU frequency and AVX offset that add up to 4.5Ghz, but any combination where the frequency runs above 4.5Ghz under AVX load crashes my system.
I’ve tested this with turbo and extreme LLC, as well as higher voltages with no luck.
Am I doing something wrong or did I just get unlucky with my chip?
Assuming I can’t get Prime95 to run above 4.5Ghz am I better off keeping my non-AVX loads at 5.0Ghz and using a -5 offset, or should I drop everything to 4.5Ghz with no offset or go somewhere in between?
I’m mainly worried about CPU performance for exporting in Lightroom and Premiere Pro, so not sure what the best settings would be for that.
