Hi, all
Just joined this forum (although been reading TH for years).
I just upgraded my PC -
CPU - i5 9600-K
Motherboard - Asus Rog Strix Z390-F
RAM - G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16 GB @ 3200 MHz
CPU cooler - Cooler Master 212 Black Edition RGB
CPU temp at stock = 35 degrees C idle
I used this video on Youtube to attempt my first ever over-clocking -

(note - the BIOS this guy uses has some things mine doesn't it seems)
I followed his suggestions to the letter (as much as my BIOS menu allowed), and got these results (approx) -
A) 5.0 GHz - voltage became 1.495 (sorry...don't know what it was at stock...) - CPU temp jumped hugely - from Stock 35C to 55C
B) 4.9 GHz - voltage reduced a bit - around 1.39 to 1.40 - CPU around 50*C
C) 4.8 GHz - voltage reduced to maybe 1.35 - CPU around 50*C still
D) 4.7 GHz - voltage now fell quite a bit to 1.296 (and totally stable at that figure in "CPU-Z") - CPU dropped to 45C (but still nowhere near the 35C at "stock")
Before I melt my CPU and Motherboard - does it look like my computer is "stable" at 4.7 GHz from the above? I am very surprised the voltage dropped so much...or is that typical?
Apologies in advance if these sound like stupid questions...remember I am brand new to O/C
