i5 9600k 5ghz 1.25v

[Frey]

it's very easy to overclock this CPU, i don't need more but i'm pretty sure i can reach 5.5ghz :)
I wonder how people struggle with 4.8ghz and 1.35v....
For 250$, you can't have better :)

Ok, i have followed your youtube video, and I admit, it's more stable, I have launched CPU:OCCT test like the guy, so, with 100% load on the CPU :

60° max but i can see the the CPU is "only" at 4.9ghz with 1.34V....
Now I don't fear about a crash or to break the CPU, thank you.

I think the reason why you see 4.9GHz instead of 5.0GHz while testing is due to the "AVX instruction core ratio negative offset" is set to 1. Whatever number you have it set to will downclock the cores by 0.1GHz when running a task that uses AVX instructions. Pretty much all games don't use AVX instructions though, mainly stress test programs and stuff like video rending do though.

Thanks for letting me know you tried this method though, glad it helped out!

Ok, I will remove 1, cause it fluctuates between 4.9 and 5.0 constantly even in a game, it's annoying.
Nice, thx.

You could try overclocking to 5.1GHz and leave the offset at 1, it helps keep the overclock stable when under heavy load. Although aiming for for 5.1GHz you may need to bump up the core voltage a tad more and would need to so testing again. Either way happy its all working out for you now!

I dont know why, but now I have not anymore the "Vcore" OSD in Hwinfo64 for RTSS.
And for the core voltage, I'm at the 1.35v limit already.
As I only gaming, I think i can keep at 5ghz, the CPU is never or rarely at 100%.

First not every CPU over locks the same -> Silicon lottery.
That running games does not mean it is stable you figured out already.

1.35V is not the limit. The chip is rated for 1.52V. You can even go way higher as long as your thermal allows for it which is the real issue

When monitoring your CPU temp pay attention to each individual core temp to see what one is hottest, not just the average temp.

Run prime 95 avx small ffts I can assure you , you will crash within minutes unless you have indeed hit the silicon lottery but I doubt that .

Run the test for at the very least 10 minutes to make sure the temp has fully climbed up. (And obvously stop it if its going above 90°)

it has crashed :)

I rest my case, not stable. I knew it straight away after your opening statement , It cried ignorance.

now it's very stable with any test, 1.32V 5.ghz 60°C at full load :), but for gaming 1.24V is stable :)
thanks to "Cloudy Canadian"....
I can push it but i don't need.

60C @ 5GHz with 1.32V without mods also sound very fairy tale to me. Run FTT 1344 - 1334. Temps at that voltage without modifications with a "mere" 280mm AIO would be incredible low. even lower then delidding temps.

I was thinking the same, although 5.0GHz on all core at 1.32V is doable for most 9700K CPUs something must be not being done correctly if the hottest core is maxing at only 60°C... .

i have made exactly the same like the guy on the video you've posted me, I have done exactly the same test and settings, and I'm at 60°C (he's at 70°C if I remember) :) that's why i think i can push to 5.3ghz....
I can record it if you want.

I believe you followed the video instructions properly, where I think there may have been user error is either the stress test or how you monitor your temperature. While Prime95 is running at Small FFTs make sure every core is running at 100%.

i have made the same OCCT test, and i can confirm my CPU was at 100%.....
