Is this OC safe?

[evansra]

Hi all, I have recently got an i7 9700k on a ASUS STRIX Z390-H mobo.

I have no real overclocking experience but the bios provides preset OC's. I chose the pre-set for gaming and told it I have a tower cooler(I actually have a h115i but didn't want to go all out).

The system appears stable and I have tried several benchmarks and stress tests.

The settings I can see from AISuite3 while running a CPU-Z stress test for 20mins are -

CPU Freq - 5152.6MHz (99.9 watts)
DRAM Frequency - 2741.2
CPU Voltage - 1.492v
+12V - 12.096v
+5 - 4.960v
3.3v - 3.264v
Temp - 73c
CPU power phase control - Standard
CPU VRM Switching Frequency - Auto
CPU Load-Line Calibration - Level 2
CPU Current Capability - 140%
CPU Power Duty Control - Tprobe

So my question, is this a safe setup to maintain?(If you require any more information let me know)

edit to add DRAM Freq*

it is not.

too much Vcore

it is not.

too much Vcore

Thanks for the feedback, can you suggest a reasonable max value? I may try to lower it in bios and see if its still stable.

I'm a bit conservative, when i get a new CPU i want it to last 5 yrs at very least, so personally i'd not go above 1.3v, i'd settle for whatever i can get for that. but up to 1.35v for most is considered perfectly safe, anything above that is a bit pushing it, 1.49v is degrading your chip fast(er)

Thanks for that, I have removed the OC for now. I will read up a bit and try a manual OC in the future.

Hi, please read the answers in my post from CompuTronix, it explains what the highest voltage is that you should be using on intel CPU's by chipset.
