[SOLVED] i5-9600k 5.3GHz

[Sean O’Hare]

Hello,
I currently have my CPU clocked at 5.3 GHz all cores, and I was just wondering is 81 degrees a good stable temperature? I’ve had furmark running for around 20 minutes now and the temps have not gone passed 81

That should be the image of HWMonitor during the stress test

Try running AIDA64 stress test for a bit.

I’ve currently got the CPU stability test running and at 100% it isn’t going over 64 degrees and no throttling as of yet

So... after running a bunch of stress tests, I try to run Cinebench and BSOD, so I’ve down clocked it to 5.2 at 1.394 V it seems to be incredibly stable, Cinebench R20 score 1294, AIDA64 cpu stress 62 degrees, FPU at 73 so I think I’ve found the stability

What is your ambient (room) temperature?

The international standard for "normal" room temperature is 22°C or 72°F. All computer temperatures increase and decrease with ambient temperature.

Here's the nominal operating range for Core temperature:

Core temperatures above 85°C are not recommended.

Core temperatures below 80°C are ideal.

“Stress” tests vary widely and can be characterized into two categories; stability tests which are fluctuating workloads, and thermal tests which are steady workloads.

Utilities that don't overload or underload your processor will give you a valid thermal baseline. Here’s a comparison of utilities grouped as thermal and stability tests according to % of TDP, averaged across six processor Generations at stock settings rounded to the nearest 5%:

Although these tests range from 70% to 130% TDP workload, Windows Task Manager interprets every test as 100% CPU Utilization, which is processor resource activity, not actual workload. Core temperatures respond directly to Power consumption (Watts), which is driven by workload.

As you can see from the scale ...

CineBench R20 is about 100% workload.
FurMark CPU Burner is about 85% workload.
AIDA64 individual CPU test is about 70% workload.

These differences in workloads account for the differences in Core temperatures you monitored, where FurMark CPU Burner max'd out at about 81°C and 117 Watts.

Keep in mind that AIDA64 has 4 CPU related stress test selections (CPU, FPU, Cache, Memory) which have 15 possible combinations that yield 15 different workload conditions and Core temperatures.

have You tried running cinebench r15? I’m curious how my old Xeon stacks up to that

Hello! And I did a FPU test at 5.3 and BSOD straight away, so I down clocked it to 5.2, and re did the FPU test and it maxed out at 72 degrees, my room temperature is around 18/19 degrees, and I tried to put as much stress as I could on it but the highest it went was 75 degrees and no crashes and is holding stable after I throw anything at it, I think it throttles a bit at 5.2 but last night I managed to get a Cinebench score of over 3000 but unfortunately I didn’t save the settings, so I’m going to try and play around in the BIOS and see what I can do, any tips would be great!
Thank you for that guide! It’s really helpful!

I have and the highest I got was 1225

 

[86zx]

I have and the highest I got was 1225

That’s surprising my 10 year old Xeon got 993 at 4.5ghz I bet if I had the ability to clock it that high it would give most new cpus a run for their money lol

will it run games at 5.2?

Yeah I’ve had no problems what so ever

On R20 I just got a score of 3123! And R15 1254... but is it stable

Indeed it is

 

[Sean O’Hare]

Indeed it is

I tried it on Firestrike and pulled a 22930 510 points higher than any other 9600k 2070 super system

Good chip huh

Yeah mate, not even water cooled either, I think when I finally do I could hit 5.3 or even 5.4

What motherboard do you have? If it's a Gigabyte, do you mind posting what you changed to achieve your current overclock of the i5-9600k?

Unfortunately mate it’s the Asus Maximus XI Hero
