9900k 4.8ghz Voltage

Hi all,

Since I’ve had my 9900Kf it’s a great CPU but does it run hot! Especially vs my delidded 8700k. Delidding this isn’t an option due to the higher risk and lower results.

I had my 8700k at 5.0ghz and this cpu at the same clock speed gets too hot during realbench - mid 80s low 90s this was at 1.370 voltage - I’ve since found that 1.165 voltage (CPUz) reports 1.184v for a all core 4.8ghz and temps haven’t topped 68 degrees - is this a good voltage? Happy to take the very small hit on single core performance for the extra 2 cores 4 threads

Edit - just crashed so trying 1.175 which equates to 1.200 cpuz

1.232 voltage seems to be fully stable with 1 hour realbench, prime 95 30 minutes and cinebench stable. As a stop gap till 14th gen 8 cores 16 threads 4.8 GHz will do fine whilst keeping temps and noise down
