9700k overvolting and high temps - How do I stop it?

Vimes said:
Excellent result for you.

So rather than put Normal and then your adaptive offset instead you place 1.295v as your voltage and then High as the LLC.?

Does that still do the voltage when the CPU is at a lower speed.?

That is a good find, might try that myself.

Voltage still runs higher but it will downclock...

PROBLEM THOUGH: Went to make a brew and came back and had BSOD :(

I've just got a i7-9700k which I've had at 4.9 with 1.295-1.300 I'm seeing some issues with XMP. When I enable it temps are 10c higher. 32gb 3200Mhz, have you got XMP enabled - try it without if you have.

I have my ram setup manually.
XMP doesn't work as it's not support officially.
Have blend on prime and it doesn't fail the ram but fails when the cpu hits heavy load.

On another note, it could possibly just be the fact that avx is just too much for the cpu/mobo. Running realbench never fails, but p95 is another story.
 
3 runs of cinebench r20 @ 5ghz -0.085 adaptive

Ok @Danny75 @Vimes

New settings as below after restting to default in BIOS:

RAM manually setup:
4000mhz 18-18-18-38
Enhanced stability
1.4v

CPU @ 5.0 ghz
AVX - variable settings (see links below)
Turbo Ratio (* core active) - all set to 50
CPU Vcore LLC - normal
Dynamic Vcore (DVID) - -0.085

NOTHING ELSE ALTERED FROM DEFAULT

30 mins on prime95 AVX 4

1 Hour Realbench AVX 2

5 runs Cinebench R20 AVX auto

All seems within reasonable limits, it seems AVX is BRUTAL on this CPU, hence the heavy offset for P95 to lower temps,
I will never use the PC for loads like that, it's pretty much purely a gaming rig.
Will benchmark some games over the weekend and report back.

Opinions?
 
Thanks @Danny75
I will definitely look into that once I have benchmarked a few games. After spending the entire week in a BIOS menu it would be nice to get back to what I actually built the dammed rig for .

Are the temps and volts looking ok otherwise now?
I have noticed my idle temps are around 35-50 but I have found out that the pump on the alphacool aio is actually pretty weak, sure it has all copper/brass parts which is what drew me to it but a weak pump is... well... a weak pump.

May look at a custom loop at some point.
Thank you for all the advise.

The more stats you uploaded the more it looked like the AIO was part of the temp issue as well. At 1.214v Vcore (I think that's what CPU-Z was showing in your pic) you could be getting at least 10 degrees lower on Cinebench R20 with a better AIO or a big Noctua or BeQuiet cooler or similar in a decent airflow case.

I have asked ocuk for a refund on the aio, no way am I paying for this aio, something must have failed inside it to cause this.
Gets rave reviews from various tech sites, benchmarks putting it way ahead of most others.
 
Vimes said:
So the excessive temperatures you have put down to that cooler.?
What did you use for that last series of tests.?

Do you really want water cooling..?

I refitted the old asetek 360 aio and there was a good 10c difference. Need to test again now I have found a stable oc. But temps are obviously way to hot on the voltages I'm getting.
 
Vimes said:
You shouldn't see that much of a difference between the two, especially with how well that AIO is generally rated.
Overall my temps are fine with my Cryorig air cooler. I have reduced my fan profile so that it runs a hotter, but produces less noise.
Less than 70c under stress, typically mid 6o's, testing is the norm, which means less when running games etc.
That is at 5Ghz across all cores.

Thanks for the reply, I have contacted OcUK and asked them for a refund but they are saying that as it is out of the return period it will have to go back for repairs,
and only then if a dauly is found will I get a replacement, is there someone from CS on the forums I can tag to take a look at the screenshots?
 
Vccio and vccsa where going up to close to 1.4v... *****!

Lowered them down to 1.18 each as a quick google seems to confirm that this is RAM related,
and keeping them on auto will cause them to draw WAY too much.

EDIT: VR VOUT seems to be the true CPU Vcore reading on this mobo with HWinfo, which explains the whacky voltage readings I was getting.
