Question Overclocking i5-9600k results

[tjwine22]

using intel tuning extreme utility I managed to get 4.7GHZ on core ratio but 4.6 on cache ratio, this seems a bit low compared to others ive seen online, keep in mind im using the sliders since im too afraid to use advanced since im still new and afraid of frying my CPU, any tips would be helpful

Because that cpu's capable of 5.0ghz easily, and then some, but you don't have the cooling for that.

Then don't OC.
You can still screw up using software you are unfamiliar with. The best results are achieved through bios.

I do have the time problem is Its hard to find a guide at least for me that explains what everything is, for the core ratio I'll usually get a good explanation but for load line calibration its just usually something like "controller for load line"
