The Complete i9 9900K Overclocking Guide - Maximus XI Z390 and Others

[@bartoszszymanski9549]

I've always had issues pushing my i9 to a 5Ghz, mostly because whenever I used anywhere near 1.3+v I'd be getting around 90+ celcius temps, following this guys guide I have finally managed to keep it under control. great video!

[@DanielNavas1]

With how you're speaking, you sound like you're reading off a teleprompter. You just know all of this. It's incredible.

[@toonnut1]

I haven't come across anyone who does better overclocking video's than you. I've watched loads of video's and yours are the best by far! Thanks for the effort you put in to them ive enjoyed watching them all

[@runiquepro5815]

Stable 5GHz @ 1.34v. Left for an hour and temps didn’t exceed 65c. Using a CoolerMaster ML360R. Now I need to start playing with the voltage to find my sweet spot. EDIT: Found my sweet spot @ 1.235 V. Temps dropped to 60c average under full load. 👍🏽

What board you using

[@petquack]

Thank you for this video ! I've watched watched and followed directions to 3 different youtube videos telling you "how to over clock a i9 9900k" and they all lead to my computer being unstable creating constant shutoffs, freezing and problems with my PC booting up. Your video explained it the right way and I have absolutely no problems.

[@DiscoCallum]

Great video! To a novice like me, I really appreciated the fact that you went through every individual setting in the BIOS and explained what it was doing and why. Very well done. I will be coming back to this channel regularly from now on!

[@esteveer007]

Took my PassMark Rating test from stock at 7474 to 8315 and my Cinebench R20 from 4755 to 5007. Full load temps at 64c..... Great guide and great explanation.

What a gem. I happen to have a similar mobo so was so easy to follow along. Especially after I had to completely reset everything to stock due to my own hubris .-.

I have a follow up. I use my PC for gamming but I'm also a freelance 3D artist using Maya 2020 and Substance.

I mean seriously. I just popped in my i9 and followed this to a T. I've went back and dropped my core clock down a bit as the temps were a bit high for my liking(under full load spikes were around 90 c) So I'm down to 4.8ghz(4.7 with the offset we set) And my vcore is 1.245v, now running through your stability tests before I try to drop it down a bit.

[@clay391]

So at first I followed your other video about z390 overclocking but I was running an i9-9900k. I couldn't get it stable until I seen this video and I followed everything to the t. However, at 1.300v my processor was getting too hot. So I decided to bring bring it down to 4.7 ghz and I finally got it stable at 1.245v. OCCT lasted a good 6 hours with no problems at temps between 60c and 67c. I'm running an h100i v2 aio cooler.

Welp! I finally got it. 1.32 @5ghz. 1.325 got me a bsod. Amazing that little amount can be so bad. I’m pushing 83°C. New cooler on the way. But so far it’s looking good! Thank you!

Well after two successful runs and getting 2121 on r15 it gives me another bsod with the same error as above. Hrmm. This is fun! Said no one haha
