I7 9700k with an Asus Maximus XI Hero Z390 motherboard.
System runs rock solid with stock configs, but when I try to raise to any decent overclock (started with 5) I have to raise my voltages to pretty high levels to keep it stable, higher than i should have to. 5 ghz only runs stable when I raise the core voltage to 1.385v and then I run into thermal throttling issues. According to this

It should be easy to get this all the way to 5.2 on 1.30-1.35v.
I also found this saying something similar

Any thoughts on why I wouldnt be able to get a decent overclock going? I feel like I have some pretty solid hardware here so I'm not too sure what gives. I'm on my phone posting this and away from my pc currently but if anyone needs more info I can get to it early tomorrow.
Thanks all
