Is my 9900K overvolting?

[evo4ever86]

Hey all.

I've managed to get my 9900K stable @ 5200MHz. I've thrown everything at it like Cinebench R15 and R20, XTU, AIDA64, CPU-Z Bench, 3DMark, and hours of gameplay on various games without a single blue screen. My voltages and LLC are as follows...

Adaptive Mode
Additional turbo vcore @ 1.150v
Offset @ 0.210
= 1.360 vcore
LLC6

I'm using an ASUS Maximus XI Z390 board.

When I run lets say Cinebench with Core Temp running besides it to monitor vcore and temps occasionally my vcore will overshoot to 1.50v!! Is this safe? Should I be concerned with this? Or are these readings inaccurate? Cheers guys!

Your v core is set wrong.

Just because the bios says 1.150v + 0.210 doesn't mean that's what your getting.

Many boards will over volt as default. You should run intel burntest before overclocking with CPUs open to see when the cpu is really stirring at.

Many intel systems now days need undervolting just to run run at stock settings

Cheers for the reply.

How should I set my vcore? Like this...

Adaptive Mode
Additional turbo vcore @ 1.350v
Offset @ 0.010
= 1.360 vcore
LLC6

???

Cheers for the help!

EDIT: If I change the way a set my vcore voltages to the second method I keep getting blue screens in windows. Windows just won't load if change my settings to this..

Adaptive Mode
Additional turbo vcore @ 1.350v
Offset @ 0.010
= 1.360 vcore
LLC6

I reverted back to the original way of setting my vcore and Windows loaded fine, no blue screens!

I don't get it because both methods yield the same vcore, im confused!!

Regard.

Save your overclock profile and reset to default. Like I said at stock setting run cpuz and intel burn test. The first thing you need to know is what the motherboard is pumping in as default.
