Hey all, new to the forum and figured I'd try get solve an issue with a new build I'm having.
-Intel 9900k
-Gigabyte Designare 390
-16gb 3200mhz RAM
-EVGA 650w Gold PSU
-Noctual DH15s

Am I seeing this correctly? I built this system last week and it was boosting up to 5ghz on all cores right off the bat, only occasionally dipping to 4.7 on all cores. Default voltage set to auto is going up to 1.35 resulting in temps in the high 80's. Only thing I've touched is XMP profile which is turned on. Everything else is auto. I bought the 9900k to eventually dabble in overclocking, but with it being seemingly stock OC'd I feel like I have to dive in headfirst just to get my system stable. I'm just confused why my system is boosting to 5ghz on all cores, when it's supposed to only boost on 1 core, correct? I have reset the CMOS as well and it still defaults to this.
I manually set the VCore to 1.275 which helped the temps a lot, but at the expense of system stability. I've gotten "IRQL LESS THAN EQUAL" playing specifically BFV and Anthem. From what I can gather, this is a result of an unstable overclock and possibly VRDroop. So I feel like I have to choose between system stability and safe temperatures. This can't be normal.
EDIT: I did turn MCE off with no change to the behaviour.
