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!

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

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

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. 👍🏽

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.

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!

Very informative! Very relieving to watch a video where everything is explained and not just giving random settings with no explanation. Excited to try this out when my z390 and i9 get here next week! Thanks!

Mate... your video is my go to settings for my ASUS ROG Maximus Formula XI, as I applied it back in 2019 when I first watched it and now also 2021 (for same MB) with the updated 1903 Windows 11 BIOS... still runs smooth as butter @5GHz and XMP II 👍🏼

Damn here’s me thinking you’re a slimmer version of Marty from McM’s but you know your shit, this tutorial gave my 9900k the same overclock that I’ve had on it for a year but dropped the temps by 20c. I couldn’t get it stable at 5.0 and my voltage was around the 1.375 mark. Now it’s pinned at 100%,5.0ghz and under 80c. Thank you and subbed, you’re a champ.

thank you my man! not only did you explain things perfectly i got a stable 5.1 Ghz. the other channel ECPU had me blue screening on cinebench or playing a certain game. thanks again man.

Thanks for this guide man. Spot on. I did what you said and she's running strong. I'm running the Hi150 Pro Triple 120 Rad and the stress test only hit 85c. Idles like 38-43c Which is great for a steady 5.0ghz. Super Super happy.

Wow!!! You explained everything so clearly that even though my computer has not arrived yet, I feel like I already know what I need to do. Excellent overclocking guide!

Sweet!!! This guide got my 9900KF to 5.0GHz at 1.240V super stable. Runing Prime95 for about 8 hours now and barely hitting 80 degrees C with the H115i. Thinking of going higher but I need to change to a proper watercooling loop. Thanks man!!!

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.

This video was great. I really appreciate you explaining why the settings are setup the way they are instead of just telling us what they should be.

First time on this channel,and I subscribed. I love this video,I own a 9900K and an Asus Maximus XI Hero Wifi,and this video is a "straight to the point" one,exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for all the detailed explanation on every BIOS page.

Thanks, for helping me in OC configuration I have an i7 8700k, as I am in Brazil the weather is very hot so I have to be careful with Tension to not get too hot, its explanations clarify a lot of my doubts. Bought the toilet H110I 280MM Corsair it is great in cooling, let's see when to put the over if it keeps stable

I overclocked mine to 5 Ghz at 1.240v :) thanks!

I know this is old, but I followed your instructions and it worked for 5ghz on my 9900k. No issues now, but I will give it some time. Stress tests passed. Thank you for taking the time with this.

This guide was great! First ever build!😁I got stable with Cooler Master 620M Air Cooler for 10850k Asus Z490 Tuff plus Wi-Fi ,This worked for me Temps 50-60 at 1200RPM Max , 1.265 Volts running Cinebench r23 single core score= (1383 ) with HWMonitor XMP 1=GSkill 2133/3200, AVX 0 ,Sync All Cores 50, All Core Ratio 50,( Ring Down, Min Cpu, Max Cup Ratio = All on Auto, CpuCore/Cache Voltage=Manual Mode and Cup Core Voltage Override= 1.3, and DiGi+VRM/ Loadline Calibration 5

This was great! thank you so much for your content, looking forward to hear more!

I'm an absolute noob venturing out on my first premium PC build. I've been looking for someone to break it down like this to help me understand better, but everyone just seems to assume you already know a lot about it. In short... Awesome vid, you rock, and I'll be watching everything else!

Amazing video, all information provided is essential, easy to understand and very well structured. I was struggling getting my 9900K to reach 5GHz stable and after 1 watch of this video I'm now running a perfectly stable CPU at 5GHz. Thank you!

A very informative and useful video. Like many, I'm torn between the concept of Static/Fixed and Adaptive/Dynamic Overclocks. Lower temps are always appealing, but if there if the effect on chip lifespan is almost negligible, I'll stick with Static/Fixed. Keen to jump in and find the perfect LLC mode for my setup!

Fantastic video man, you got a sub from me!! I've been trying to learn the more advanced bits of overclocking for quite a while now. I already knew a few of the very basics, such as increasing BCLK frequency and changing Core Ratios from builds I made in the past. Watching this video has given me a lot more knowledge and confidence to achieve better OCs on the PCs I'm likely to build in the future. I will definitely check out your other videos!! 👍

Dude you rock! I followed your guide 3 weeks ago and it's been perfectly stable at 5GHz, no crashes. Thank you so much!!

Great video! Going from an FX 8350 (4.86ghz :P) to this cpu on an EVGA Z390 FTW so this video really helped with the change of teams in OC'ing.

great video. watched it about 4 times! got my9900k running at 5ghz and 1.240v thanks!

5.0ghz froze my pc after 5min of stressing. But at least now I know how to tweak it and where to change my numbers Thanks for this amazing, simple, and straightforward tutorial !

Very nice video...I followed your instructions...and got 5000 Hz on my 9900k with the maximus XI hero with the first try. I ran Real Bench a few times.... .My idle temp is 27C on all cores and at full load 66C..i set the clock speed from 100 to 101 and got an extra 50hz.....I have the Cooler Master 240l water cooler with quad fans in a Cooler Master modded H500 Case...I subscribed to you channel.....Thanks.....Winfried

Who will be using a 9900k in 2029? ME! I just switched from a FX-8350 :-D. Thanks for the video really appreciate, I tried following Der8auer and it BSOD'd me so hard

How do you not have more subs, the info you put out about overclocking is some of the best i have seen on YT!

You have a gift of explaining things nicely...great video!

I have an i9 9900KS on a ROG Maximus XI board. I have it running at 5.2GHz & it appears to be completely stable at 1.320 volts. I am far from an expert & I used this video as a rough guide. I couldn't find any good guides for the i9 9900KS specifically. But it really surprised me that I don't seem to need a higher core voltage for 5.2GHz. Maybe I've done something wrong but everything appears stable & it's running like a dream.

Couldnt get my 10700k to OC to save my life... Followed everything you did to a T for 5.1 stable! Thanks guy!

Thank you for the video! Very helpful I managed to get my i9900k to 5ghz running stable on 56 degrees with custom water loop!

Great video! The only thing that was weird with mine is that both programs that you used in the video are displaying my voltage to be about 1.144 V (tried manually setting to 1.3) for core voltage. Ran OCCT for 45 mins no crash or errors, max temp was 86 but averaged in around 66. The fluctuations in temperature are what concerned me but after watching your video a few more times I believe that is normal...hopefully. Guess I will see if I can get higher clocks, thanks.

Thank you so much amazing video. My benchmarking scores are up by 30% thanks to you.

5 years later and still a good video 🎉 my temps hit 100 with a thermaltake th120 so went to best buy and bought a h100i and temps were around 75 after an hour 🎉

Thank you for this guide. Simplifies everything well. I'm running I9900ks w/ H150i pro Same concept. W/ your starting settings I'm running cool as a cucumber through 20 min extreme stress test. 55c average temp. 68c peak. Assuming I can push this much harder with KS and H150i pro! Thanks again!

Incredible guide!!! Thank you! I've been looking for exactly this... I'm just sad it took me this long to find it and actually try it. You made it so simple!

Thanks for doing this video, first attempt after watching this got me stable w/9900k at 5.0 with 1.27 volts, xmpII 3200. Bumped to 5.1 staying at 1.27v and still stable. I think I'll park it there. Thanks!

Man the explanation you gave with the pipe analogy was excellent. I already knew the basics like P = VI but explaining current as water moving through a pipe was such an "a-ha" moment. I always thought adaptive voltage was better for thermals but it completely makes sense now why that's flawed logic. Thanks for the help!

What an excellent and clean and simple guide...truly the best video out there regarding overclocking .. bless u and keep it up

Definitely earned a sub! Thank you for not beating around the bush and going through everything step by step instead of jumping around all over the place. Was able to boost my 9900k to 5.1 easily with your setting and cooling setup has me in mid 75C under load.

Thank you for the video...scored 40 points higher than my last OC on cinebench R15

Just want to say thanks for this video. You really have laid out everything so nicely and in a way even a noob like me can understand. I have the same CPU and motherboard and after following along with this video I'm amazed at the improvement. Thanks again.

The best "how to" overclock i had seen!!

Newly Subscribed ! Like how detailed your videos are compared to other tech youtubers ...who are usually quite vague. Would love to see an i9 9980xe overclocking guide

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you sir! You said to switch "BCLK Adaptvie Voltage" to "Disabled", but yours is on "enabled". So do I need to enable or disable this?

Great Video mate, thanks heaps! First time successfully overclocking my Computer to 5ghz with temps no higher than 80! Using the default profiles from Asus and the i9 lead me astray. I thought it was never going to happen with temps reaching 98 degrees!

I9 9900 and 2080 ti here, I did the exact same thing but still getting blue screens when opening up video games.. Have no idea what I'm doing

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.

Thanks, i learned so much. Now running at Constant 5Ghz and i only crashed once in Prime95. I bumped up my voltage just a tad and now i am running stable....kind of scary to see 95°C as a Max :D But you'll never get that high if you're just gaming.

I have a very similar setup except that my chip is an i9 9900KS & I have it overclocked to 5.2GHz. My motherboard is an Asus ROG Maximus XI Code so my BIOS is almost identical. I'm not exactly new to overclocking but I'm far from an expert & don't have much experience yet. This video helped me understand several things better. Unfortunately there aren't many videos like this specifically for the 9900KS. My chip appears to be very good. It seems to handle even higher frequencies without much fuss but I set it to 5.2GHz just because I like to play it a bit safe.

Great info perfect delivery. Well done!

Great video and thanks alot this video was the most helpful of all the oc videos I've seen thanks to u i was able to oc mine to 5.0ghz with 1.265 volt and with my 240mm corsair h100i platinume i got max temperatur of 83c after 1h stress test and temps around 75 on gaming battlefield v i am so thankful to u dude thanks alot for this video

I got my i9 9900K running 5 Ghz with a few settings in Bios Maximus XI. I got XMP II enabled - Multicore enhancement enabled - SyncAll Cores. This gives me 5GHz on ALL cores. Just that easy.....It's stable and temps around 35 degrees idle and 60 on full load. I have Corsair H115i pro AIO.

This video still helping out till this day. I’m not trying to upgrade just yet so getting a little more juice out of this thing is nice. I do have a custom water cool loop that’s keeping this thing nice and cool at 5ghz. At the moment running 1.3v but I think I can lower it.

Awesome video! Followed everything. I’m at 5.1ghz 1.35 working my way down in volts. So far so good 😊

Best over locking video, I finally understand what does all the settings in bios do, if I have same config but with a 360mm aio, should I leave the same settings, I thing 5.0 ghz its pretty decent.

Sensational guide my i9-9900k is working stable at 5ghz thanks mate

Very informative video and helped me overclock to 5.0 without any issues. Will need to spend more time and game on it and see where the average temperature sits during gaming.

Perfect! Stable at 1.3V, with a 3080 card as well . Thanks for the guide!

Guide worked great. Was getting some BSODs related to RAM on Triden Z RGB 3200MHz sticks. I had to up the DRAM Voltage to 1.40. All good now!

Amazing. All I wanted was my i9900 at 5Ghz and it was super easy with this video. Thank you

Thanks for this video. Applied the settings tonight and everything is rock solid 👍

Man, you should win a medal, The easiest best overclock video ever hands down. My ASUS XI Maximus Formula Running smoothly like a B**tch :) 100%. LIKED & SUBSCRIBED Thank you!

Very helpful, thank you. Been a long time since I messed with overclocking and needed to wrap my head around the ASUS bios features.

This was a load of help buddy thank you so much. My i9 behaved just as advertised in the video and stays well under the danger zone of heat. Getting way better performance out of my games now.

I check lot of CPU 9900k overlocking youtube guide, and this one is the only one which didn't make crash of some game. But i have more heat on my CPU but much stability. thx

Thank you very much for this amazing and very precise guide!

I want to mention that for flight simming, AVX instructions are for sure an issue, and you should consider an offset even on a high end cooling system.

Great step by step tutorial ! Thank you very much for that.

Thank you so much! Got my 9900kf purring at 5Ghz all cores!

Awesome guide. I love how in-depth you get.

Very solid guide!! It helped me a lot!!!!

Brilliant and informative. Followed your instructions, currently running cpu 62°and gpu 33° but I'm running a full loop with 2x ek coolstream 360 rads with 6x push n pull fan setup on each, So I know I could go further, but I'd need a new video to show me 😂

Awesome guide, mate! Thanks for the detailed explanations!

Thanks alot man, You teached me alot! I have overclocked my cpu steady at 5.1 ghz at 1.345 vcore volt, it works like a charm!

It works! First guide, when it really works.

Wow and thanks, my i9-900k is 1 year old, 64gb ram, 2080 ti super. I may have to watch this again to OC my cpu. I have zero issues with my PC really and plan to keep it maintained for the next 2 years or more. If you an advice I sure can use to improve my pc. I was going to buy a i9 - 10900k on my tuff zf390 plus board. I watch your tutorial and you just saved me money. I play games and stream on my pc but nothing heavy taxing games really. I play Outrider just to see how it handles and it handles it perfect and want more. I have not OC myboc and just run msi afterburner for my gpu and really tiny tweak. My OC days are long gone but I want to try it again.

Hey that's great quality stuff I will definitely come back for more :)

My computer keeps getting a blue screen after I try to load something big like a game. How do I reset my BIOS settings to its default?

Got 5.2 Ghz on a i9-9900ks with this guide (1.350volt)

This video is awesome. I love how you describe what each bios setting is functionally about.

YOUR ADVICE WORKED FIRST TIME! I have has Microsoft Flight simulator installed for months and nobody could help me, Read every article & watched Y/T videos without success. I was getting 6 to 10 fps. After following all the steps on 50 to 60fps! WOWOWOWOW! FANTASTIC. Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900 CPU @3.60Ghz running at 4900Ghz - 32gb Ram RTX2080 running at 4K most on ultra! I never thought it would be possible! Deserve a full LIKE and Subscribed now! Can't THANK YOU ENOUGH!

Working great for my 9700K -- THANKS!

Try thoese setting and pry for me i spend almost 13 hours test thoese setting in 9900k Motherboard z390 e gaming I get idle voltage 0.8-1.27 max Idle temp 30-31 max temp 72 max load Change only thoese setting and everything is on stock Ai overclock tuner : auto Asus multicore enhancement : disable Svid behavior : best case Avx nevigate ratio offset : 0 Cpu core ratio : auto : don’t sync all 5ghz Dram freq: but it as your ram speed Cpu svid support: enable Load lan calibration : auto Sync acdc load line : enable Cpu current capability : max Vrm spred spectrum: disable Cpu power duty: extreme Cpu power phase : extreme Turbo mode :enable (this is must) Long duration power limit : max Short duration power limit : max Bclk spread spectrum : disable Cpu cach core currunt limit max : max 255.75 Max cpu cach ratio: 47 depend on how much he give you cpu ghz speed if he told you target is 5 ghz make it less 3 ghz in my case he give me 5ghz so i put 47 Bclk aware adaptive voltage : disable Advanced cpu configuration turbo mode also enable Some time you get speed 4.9 it good enough The different between 4.9 and 5.0 is alomst nothing Benchmark your system play with it 6 hour Thank you

"Nobody's going to be running these CPU's in 10 years time" .. "I've been running CPU's for 10 years and they're working fine"

I have a strix z370f mobo and just bought a new 9900k for 300 everything seems to run well with your setting on your mobo so far

Excellent explanation. Exactly what I was looking for. Subscribed 😍

The best explanation Ive seen. And more to the point one that works.... Thankyou.

Thanks man gave me a stable overclock

Amazing video thanks man best guide out there 🙏🏾

Thanx man. Ur setting helped me bring down the vrm temps

Just picked up a new 9900k for $319 US. Too good to pass up. Easy upgrade from 8700k on a Z390 board.

Good video! Was able to OC my i9 to 5 GHz and the temps on all core was around 38-40°!

Most helpful guide I've ever followed.

This video helped tremendously, thank you
