i5 9600k OC

[mikezerv]

So i have the i5 9600k on an Aorus z390 pro, and im trying to get the most i can out of it. But i cant take it anywhere more than 4,8ghz, and im using auto voltage since the temps are not an issue for me. I hit the multiplier at 51, pc insta blue screens after bios check. I hit 50, pc boots normally, then randomly i see a blue screen, even when just browsing. I've seen that a lot of ppl make this CPU go easily 5,2ghz, and I know that every chip is different, but it seems crazy to me that i took my 7600k at 5ghz and i cant take my 9600k there. Maybe i should connect the additional 4 pins at the cpu power?
Thank you anyways.

Yes, I would connect the additional 4 pins for CPU power. But it still should be fine for the 9600k.

You will need to manually set the voltage. Auto is set for stock voltage. Bump your frequency multiplier to 50 and set your vcore to 1.3. That is a good start. Boot the system and run a stress test. A quick Cinebench is usually 90% stable. If your system crashes then bump your voltage to 1.31 and repeat. If it finishes without a crash then drop it to 1.29 and repeat.

Well. I've already tried 5,2 with 1,42 volts manually, and im pretty sure ive also tried 5ghz with 1,37 volts, still not working. Im gonna connect the additional 4 pins and see how it goes. Btw, should i touch power and thermal limit at bios? Put like both 150, watts and degrees..

Was there a reason you didn't already have the additional 4-pin connected? I didn't thing it'd even boot if they weren't so genuinely asking as I just built this same could and a water cooled z390 phantom gaming 4 with 16GB ddr4 3000 and I'm getting with just the stock phantom app slider on performance mode 4.8GHz and temps still about 98F which is excellent. When gaming BF5 Temos go up 10degrees is all and I can go for hours. Very happy with this zotac 8gb GTX 1070 paired with this 9600 6-core and Mobo so curious why not plug in the 4pin. I always assumed it was mandatory. Thanks! I come from an old haswell quad-core with a gigabyte Ford which had very littledetails in the settings as to what was what but I was able to overclock it quite well and even hackintosh tit but it just got too slow for me and when I bought my new zotac card it was time to push it to the limit so I just built a whole new system and couldn't be happier but I also would like to get about 5 gigahertz overclocked because I know this board and CPU can certainly handle it especially being water-cooled and I'm already at 4.8 very steadily for days with no crashes whatsoever when gaming and running Photoshop and Adobe premiere etc so I know I can get there I just I'm learning some of the ins-and-outs of overclocking on this setup as well 🙂

1.42v is far too high unless you have delided with liquid metal and have a stout water cooler or the very best air cooler. there are many guides online for your motherboard brand(asus, gigabyte, msi, asrock) and the bios's are similar so across different brand z370/390s the concept is very similar.

what motherboard do you have? what cooler are you using? what power supply do you have?

I am conservative and would not go over 1.4. The extra 100mhz is just a number and a few points higher on a benchmark score.

I did not connect the additional 4 pins cause ive been reading that this is usefull when you oc hungry cpu's like 9900k and 9700k. Do you think that i would solve the problem by connecting the additional 4 pins? Thanks for your reply. Btw, my specs are: i5 9600k, Z390 aorus pro, asus rog strix 1080, 2x8 gb g skill tridentz rgb and an EVGA 650 gq.

I had my i5 7600k at 1,51 volts, with the temps staying at around 65c in the winter. My mobo is Aorus pro z390, my cooler is corsair H80i v2 and my PSU is the pretty expensive evga 650 gq 80plus gold. for full specs check my answer to another guy above or below...

I have made another thread about my CPU led on the mobo turning red when i shut down the pc. When using it though, its off. Do you think this is related to the additional 4 power pins not connected on the mobo? Thanks for your replies.

Just because you can, does not mean you should. Running at that high voltage will definitely shorten the lifespan of the CPU by quite a bit. But it is your chip, so do what you want. Additionally, you are not getting 65C with that voltage and a H80 under a heavy CPU load. Running a quick cinebench will extend those temps well beyond 65C.

LOL, of course not. I didn't think it would fix your issue by plugging in the 4-pin. That's funny./..I'll share that with my fellow Geeks. I was simply asking why you didn't have it plugged in at all, as I didn't know you'd even be able to boot without it since it supplies power to the cpu, but NO, leaving it unplugged will also NOT help you either. you might also add the speed of your ram to your specs list ;-)

3200mhz cas 16.
i am pretty sure that the motherboard i bought is trash...thats what im thinking what are the possibilities of being a cpu fault? i mean pc works, but when i oc suddenly even when im browsing it crashes. Even with auto voltage. I just now tried multiplier 49 and voltage 1,3, and it wouldnt even boot. i m probably going to try updating the bios and if that doesnt work im going to where i bought it and asking for a replacement. Btw, never gonna buy gigabyte mobo after this. NEVER.
