i have bought z390 aorus pro and a kraken x73, so i can get a higher overclock as my previous aio was only 120mm.
I would preferably like to get 5ghz
i already attempted it but my pc kept turning off and on so i reset the cmos
i put vcore to 1.35,avx ofset to 0 and enabled xmp.
but no luck
if anyone could help it would be much appreciated

Every CPU is a little different, 5.0 all core might be out of reach. I suggest a good overclocking guide and follow the steps.

How are you testing? AVX loads are pretty brutal, you may actually want some offset there to keep temps down.


As an example, my older 7700k requires 1.416 volts to do 5Ghz. Not advice, it is actually way above recommendations, but has been de-lidded and is under custom water cooling.
