Question i7-9700KF + MB Z370-HD3P

Ultimately it depends on the CPU quality but you should be able to get 4.9 to 5GHz by changing the multiplier to 49, vcore to 1.3v and the rest to auto but you need to learn a bit more to get higher stable overclocks. Also I personally never go over 1.35v and for most the upper limit is 1.4v.

Also on temps, run HardwareInfo to monitor temps and voltages and use Cinebench R20 for scores to match with other 9700K's and this will push temps. Anything under 80 Degrees C whilst running bench tests is good though you can go to the 90's as well though now you are pushing a bit to much heat!

Things like LLC will come into play the higher you overclock and I have provided some guides below to explain a bit better.

There are some great guides but here is a bit of help:

The BIOS settings are all pretty much the same axross the Gigabyte Z370 range.

The Overclock forums are also excellent and have lots of information from users on there settings and what works.

Hi thank you for your guide.

I set this on bios:
CPU clock ratio - 4,7
Uncore ratio -47
XMP - 3200Mhz
VT-d - disabled
Ring to core offset(down bin)-disabled
Speed shift technology - disabled
CPU enhanced halt(C1E)- disabled
C3 state support - dsiabled
C6/C7 state support - disabled
C8 state support - disabled
C10 state support - disabled
CPU load line calibration - auto
CPU vcore (set in bios) - 1.30V


When i started OCCT i saw this.

Why is CPUVCore 1.42V?i set in bios 1.30
 
Hi guys,
what is the next step? When i will want to push into higher frequencies (4.9Ghz). I have playing Guild wars 2, this is the reason why i want to push to higher freqencies. What i will need to do? I think , i had a little higher VID when i loaded default bios and enabled only XMP profile.(max.1.432V).
It is possible to get higher freqencies in safe temps and safe voltage?
Btw,How many is the safe Voltage (with peaks)?
Should i do some AVX offset (for example -2)?
