Cpu temps

[Weaponized Autism]

Got my i5 9600k oced at 4.7ghz with 1.250 vcore, temps at max load reach 70-75c (stress test load). Was wondering if this doesn't matter since I won't be reaching those high usage marks during gaming. Hooked up with a Dark Rock 4. Thanks for your time.

75c is cold for this CPU. It's fine up to 90c+ at which point it starts to throttle.

Yes that is a perfectly fine temp to run at for your CPU while it is under load

Thank you. I recently tried pushing the CPU to 4.9GHz, but I cannot get it running stable. I've pushed the voltage all the way up to 1.35v, but don't know whether to go further. Keep getting those BSODs.

If you've got the thermal headroom, I don't see why you shouldn't keep pushing it.
You're fine up until 1.52v, but long before that point, you're going to be running into thermal limits.

problem is i already reach 90c on stress tests at 1.37v

then you are at the limit of cooling
basic rules to oc
with newer cpus aim for 80c to give some overhead
they will throttle at around 90-100c

temps low and stable = raise cpu multi
temps low and unstable = raise core voltage
temps high and stable = lower core voltage
temps high and unstable = go back to last stable and stop

i cant seem to get 4.9 ghz stable. it is very hot too (90c) at stress test. does this mean i need to go back to 4.8ghz? Is this a good oc?

if you can lower the vcore and be stable, temps will drop
or get a better cooler

make sure in bios that the cpu fan is set to 100% at 80-90c

the cpu fan is set to 100% at 80-90c. I have tested games and discovered that in game temps are much lower than the stress test. Do you know how I can achieve a stable vcore? I've tried many but get constant BSODs.

I have my i5 9600k stable at 4.8 ghz with a 1.275 vcore. My temps are 80-85 with a 4 hour prime test but 65-70 during intense gaming on Triple A games. I think these are good numbers especially since I live in Florida, and its Africa hot at this time. I got a stable 4.9 ghz @ 1.35v but increased temps by about 8c which was to high for my liking. By the way, my cpu cooling solution is an EK Predator 360, not the best but good.

It may be that your chip is at its maximum OC so you may not be able to achieve a stable 4.9 ghz while maintaining reasonable temps. Its important to have a high quality cooling system if you want to get close to 5 ghz realm. For me 4.8 is plenty of horsepower and an additional 100 mhz will not give you much of a performance increase in imho.

gaming is not nearly as stressful on the cpu as stress test

find out if its stable by lowering the core voltage and its still stable during stress test

adjust it 1 bump at a time

when you start to hit the oc wall, it takes more voltage to get a smaller oc and makes more heat

in what increments do i adjust it?

If 3.70 runs to hot then reduce to 3.65 and check stress test temps. If still to hot, keep lowering by 0.05 until it crashes which most likely means your vcore is to low. Its a vcore temp relation when it comes to a stable OC. Good Luck

Sorry, bad numbers on my part. 1.37 as your starting point, not 3.70.

thing is, I am not just suffering from high temps on 1.37, it also does not work. It crashes 1 min into the stress test. Is this because of temperatures? I don't think high temps cause crashes. Does this mean I should go higher (1.4+)? Or is the temps the issue? If I reduce vcore it crashes. Starting to think I have a bad cpu.
