Help with the new i9 9900k

[The HopelessGamer™]

Using prime95 with hwmonitor the cores only get to 4.7ghz yet the turbo is supposed to be 5ghz.

Im running 1080p, i will be upgrading to 1440p later.

In GTA 5 i get 80 - 90fps on max settings and all 8 cores go to 4.7ghz.. how ever iv seen people with 8700k's and 1080 ti' get 120+fps....

Iv tried 3dmark in alot of the benchmarks and iv used rivatuner and nothing went to 5ghz....
Iv tried cinabench and i get at best 2072 CB.
Iv reset my bios to default and its running at stock.
During every single one of these tests accept for prime95, my cpu never goes above 60c.

So my question is; Is this normal? Im paranoid and slightly worried...

My specs:
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti x2 in SLI
CPU: Intel Core i9-9900K Processor
RAM: Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000MHz Vengeance Pro RGB
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Maximus XI Formula Motherboard
Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H150i Pro 360mm Liquid CPU Cooler
PSU: Corsair RM1000i Gold 1000W Power Supply

I have the 8 pin and the extra 4 pin cable plugged in for the cpu so there should not be any power issues.

Try removing one of the 1080 Tis. I know that's an odd recommendation, but sometimes SLI can make your PC run worse.

Iv disabled SLI and tried gta and it made no difference.

What im confused about is the fact my clocks wont go to 5ghz when turbo kicks in... it only gets to 4.7ghz

Dw about it. I enabled sync all cores and set it to 5ghz. Now i get normally about a 100fps in gta 5.... my gpus are slacking. Nothing is broken :D

Chances are you've got one of the advanced setting things like view distance cranked right up.
And, enjoy the oven that is the i9-9900k.

the 9900k is never hot... it never goes above 60c unless im rendering a video or something or doing something thats really really reallllllllllly using my cpu hard.

Iv tried everything to get it to hit the temps thats been on the media but so far havent even hit 90 yet. Iv tried everything to make it hit that and so far havent.

The most i got was 85c and thats with prime95.

What is your in-game settings like? That can be causing issues with Frames as well. For one, make sure your in-game VSync is off. I wouldn't imagine your cpu is throttling itself so long as it's remaining cool. Have you kept open your task manager to ensure there is no bottlenecks in the RAM, GPU or CPU?

I also have the i9 9900K @ 5.1Ghz with a 1.250v, no matter how much i run Prime95, my temps NEVER go above 72oC, I'm using an NZXT Kraken x62..

Edit: Check out this video guide from der8auer on overclocking the 9900k..

Yeah same. Mines at 1.300 volts at 5ghz, if i go 5.1 i get a bsod... But i manually overclocked mine to stay at that because turbo was stopping at 4.8 on all cores.

Vsync is off. Im running 1080p so my 2 1080 tis are slacking off a bit thus giving me a bottleneck ergo lowering my fps. I will later on upgrade to a 1440p monitor.

Check out the video from der8auer i posted ^^, may help a bit more with your OC..

Good video fawn, my RAM died on my htpc / couch gaming pc last night so decided to do a bit of an upgrade and have just ordered a 9900k to replace my 4790k, while I don't plan to run it overclocked, I am looking forward to seeing how far I can push it.

Hi Monk,

Will be interesting to see what you can get out of your 9900k, i can't get past 5.3Ghz with voltage of 1.400, dont want to push any more through it, but it runs happily at 5.1 on a 1.250v

[Monk]

Yeah, be good to have a golden chip, but it'll be run 24/7 as an htpc rig, so for the sake of my electric bill it'll be run at stock mostly.

It won't go go 5Ghz because 5Ghz is for single core boost not an all core boost.
So all core boost is 4.7Ghz which is what you are getting. If you want 5Ghz on all cores you need to do overclocking.
Edit: Just saw you did what i recommend so i guess im late lol.

some mobo's have a option in the UEFI, (AKA - BIOS) to use multi core enhancement. if you see that. just by turning it on you will have 5ghz on all cores/

Every Intel CPU has MCE. The 4.7 GHz is already the MCE/Speedstep. If you want 5.0 GHz you have to overclock with the multiplier or by deactivating C-States.
BTW MCE is turned on by itself. If you want it to run consistent you want to turn it off tho. Just watch a guide on how Speedstep works and you know why.
