9900k low timespy score

That board is pretty inadequate for a 9900k. While you can probably get some more out of it, trying to push it to a decent level won't be a good. The VRM layout of the board is very low end.

You basically have a strong engine sitting in an inadequate chassis. For comparisons, a well tuned 9900k does high 13k to low 14k in TS CPU.
Yeah I know that, which board shall i get that is a good cope with the 9900k/6800xt? Consider that I'm also on a low end 650W psu.

edit: The aorus z390 pro is a good choice?

Master is better. I had a pro before my apex. Don't have many good things to say about it.

Master/Hero something like that would ideal if you plan to squeeze performance out of it. Hero wlll OC ram better. Master has better VRM's if you want to max out CPU and have a good CPU.

I personally prefer Asus but each his own. I'd stay away from Asrock and MSI's Z390 offerings.

So something under 200 decent it's impossible to have? The aorus master/hero are all above 300
 
Why not just downclock it a little and see if that's solves the issue? Compare it to another rig at 4.6 (or whatever) before you start shelling out on a new board?

If yours at 4.6 matches up then you know it's the board, if not then.... It's something else.

You right, but at stock with turbo boost enabled I was having still 10k of score, that's the thing. Anyway let's see with faster ram first
 
Hi guys, a question: I tried to manual oc the cpu to 5.0ghz all cores and during cinebench my pc will reboot without bsod but with a log in the event viewer ( 41 kernel power). If instead i try to set 5.0ghz clock and leave voltage vcore to auto, cinebench will run fine. Now I'm monitoring the auto voltage set and it's hovering around 1.32 . I tried to set manually an higher voltage like 1.34, and the computer will still reboot. How is that possible?

You will need to change loadline V droop to turbo, then set V core to 1.31v and try that.

Thank you so much, now with loadline cal on turbo i get stable oc at 1.35v. I've also boosted the rams at 3800(16-19-19-39) and now my timespy cpu score raised to 11902. A good improvement I guess(compared to my starting sitatuation). Need to see if I can lower the vcore a bit, but I don't think I got the best chip with the lottery.

Thats a better score, well done. and yes see how low you can go on V core before unstable.

for 5.0-5.1 clocks i would not change your board. voltage baseline for a good chip is 1.0-1.1v @ 5.0, you might just have a lower bin, don't sweat it.
