Hi all,

I have just done a first time overclock on my new rig. I have used the Asus Rog AI utility followed by tweaking with the Asus Intel Extreme utility.

My old idle temps were :

My new ones are :

CPU-Z shows :

Does that seem OK or should I back things off ?

My system spec is :


CPU: Intel i9 9900k
MB: Asus ROG Strix z390-F Gaming
Ram: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4 3000 MHz RAM - 32Gb (2x16)
GPU: MSI RTX 2080Ti Trio Gaming X
Cooler: Corsair H100i Pro Pro RGB AIO Water
M.2 SSD : Seagate 2tb Firecuda 510 M.2 NVME (boot O/S drive)
SSD 2 : Samsung 850 Evo 1tb
HDD : WD Black 3TbPSU: Corsair HX1000 Fully Modular
CASE: Corsair 780t WhiteFans : 3 x 140mm Corsair LED AF - 2 in front (intake), 1 in rear (exhaust) plus 2 x 120mm RGB Corsair on WC Radiator
OS: Win 10 Pro
Keyboard: Logitech G910 Orion Spark, Mouse : Logitech MX Master 3, Monitors : BenQ 27" 1440, Headphones : Razer Nuri Ultimate
 
Ok i've done some more tests. Stress testing peaks at about 80c - Normal day to day use (lots of browser tabs, code editors, ftp software, slack, skype all running) shows about 38-40c - Playing Shadow Of The Tomb Raider the temps average around 40-50 - Now and again 60 - But this last sessions (measured with coretemp) of about 7 hours of coding, broswsing and gaming the max it hit was 74. Is this safe to work with or should I return to stock - I'm currently at 4897Mhz ? (BTW - It's a really hot day today).
 
Thanks for that :) I think maybe the case helps as well - It's a Corsair 780t with two 140mm fans pulling on the front and one 140mm pushing at the back. The rad is mounted horizontally on the top of the case with 2 fans on it.

I have the Corsair rgb headphone stand and I have it set in iCue to go from green to yellow to red as temps increase - At stock it never really moves from green. Overclocked it hovers between green and yellow and goes into red under stress - I guess it's the physcological effect of the colours that got me worried LOL!
