[SOLVED] 9900k at 3.8 ghz

[Jowala117]

I just switched my motherboard I am now using a ASUS prime z390-A I was wondering how I get the 9900k to run at higher speeds I don't want to do any serious overclocking or anything like that I just want it to run at 4.7ghz stock it currently locks at 3.8ghz during gaming.

Check your turbo power limits in the BIOS. If they are set to default values, the 9900K will power limit throttle and run significantly slower. Set the long and short turbo power limits to the max.

If you cannot figure out how to adjust these in the BIOS, give ThrottleStop a try. Click on the TPL button to open the Turbo Power Limits window. Try setting PL1 and PL2 sky high. If you see a lock icon on the left side, you will not be able to increase these power limits.
