[SOLVED] 9th gen CPU Over clocking

[adamstobbzy]

I have a i5 9600k, I want to OC it but I have a z370p d3 Gigabyte Motherboard that has been flashed, which the system works and boots correctly.

Will this motherboard let me OC my cpu due to it needing a flash or will I need to use something like a z390?

Hoping to achieve a 4.3 or 4.4Ghz OC if I can even OC it on this motherboard.
I also have 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3000Mhz RAM and a Gigabyte 1070, which I will OC too.

It's a fully supported CPU, you just needed to let the mobo know about a CPU that didn't exist when it was designed. How well you can OC depends on numbers of power phases, how much voltage you need, cooling, you know all of the usual stuff.

i5 9600k auto overclocks itself to 4.6Ghz. You don't have to do anything. Just provide sufficient cooling to the system.

And yes - Z series boards support overclocking.

No it does not 'auto overclock' to 4.6, it boosts to 4.6 on 1-2 cores typically and perhaps for limited time based on temps. It does suggest that std voltage should allow a simple OC to 4.6, and it's auto tools may get you to 4.6 or more, but at the expense of voltage perhaps.

So how do I OC it with a motherboard that has no 9600k Option in the BIOS????

It's a supported processor so you follow normal overclocking processes. Read the stickies, learn, question and then do.

If I am supposed to follow normal procedures I can't. From the Gigabyte BIOS you have to select a CPU to OC and since it is meant for a 8th gen it goes up to 8600k, there is no OC option for 9600k.

 

[SkyNetRising]

Just forget about overclocking.
You obviously haven't researched it enough.

Your cpu will automatically overclock itself to 4.6Ghz with single-threadded workloads (turbo-boost). You don't have to do anything, for this to happen.

You obviously have no knowledge about the i5 9600k as you say it auto overclocks, when it clearly does not.

So lets reset things a little here.

Flashing the bios is perfectly normal you'be not had to 'trick' the system in any way, it is now a fully supported processor (or should be).

There are two ways you can OC, the good way and the less good way.
The less good way involves letting the mobo/windows figure out what you can do, this will always end up with high voltages than you need. This may be what you are trying to do, i've never seen a mobo ask 'what do you want to OC' before.
The good way involves adjusting the mulipliers and voltages until you get an OC that you are happy with based on temp/stability/speed. This doesn't care what you are OCing, it's just a black box that you tell to run with a set of parameters and it either runs or doesn't and does so at a temperature.

I'd suggest you learn and try the good way.

This link proves that from F10 that CPU is normally supported. https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z370P-D3-rev-10#support-cpu

Thank you.

You obviously have no knowledge about the i5 9600k as you say it auto overclocks, when it clearly does not.

Why do you think, it doesn't auto-overclock?
Base frequency for i5 9600k is 3.7Ghz.
Depending on number of cores utilized it will turbo-boost to:

• 1 Core utilized - 4.6Ghz
  2 Cores utilized - 4.5Ghz
  4 Cores utilized - 4.4Ghz
  6 Cores utilized - 4.3Ghz

Then don't do it that way, just below it you have the ability to change the multi, that's where you start.

Read this, it's still basically the same: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/279408-29-bridge-overclocking-guide-3770k

That's not overclocking, that boosting.

 

[SkyNetRising]

Well "boosting" = automatic overclocking.

Will have a look at this, thank you.

an overclock should have stable speeds and not be impacted by temp.
a boost will take advantage of thermal margins whilst they exist.

So no, not =

The link you provided helped loads. Running 4.3GHz OC Stable with a voltage of 1.43, thank you.

Where did you get the voltage from, seems like it could be high?

 

[13thmonkey]

Keep reducing and testing in seeing results of much faster with 1.35 ish out there so start at 1.35 if stable reduce, repeat this until unstable then increase a notch or two.
