Hi all,
I am fairly new to overclocking but watched a few tutorials/researched a bit and would say I have a decent enough knowledge atm. I have a set up with a Z390 Aorus Pro and 9900k cooled by a dark rock pro 4. I know the dark rock pro 4 isnt great at cooling for heavy overclocks, but its all I have atm before an upgrade is possible.
Onto the overclocking, I have left my settings default optimised apart from I enabled XMP for RAM and I boosted the clock to 4.7ghz + 1.280v. I have ran this on Aida 64 stress test for a few hours maximum temperatures were around 80c on some cores which I believe is fairly ok?
I have been running a few benchmarks and found that if I turn off the setting which boosts some cores i.e. 5.2ghz core 1, 5.1ghz core 2 e.t.c down to 4.7ghz on the latter cores, the benchmark will run worse (because its locked to 4.7ghz). But the system runs stable with the boost on do you recommend I just leave it with boost as when I have tried to do a flat all cores overclock I have found it wont bench near enough (probably due to my cooler).
Just wondering what people would recommend ideally I would like a 5ghz over all cores or something but I know thats unrealistic.
Thanks for all your help in advance!
EDIT
Also would love recommendations for a cooler which will perform better, I have limited water cooling knowledge so a fairly easy solution would be good. I know about the Corsair H100i just wondered if its the best option!
