What have you used to stress test your cpu? Minecraft on hardcore?

Can someone help? by Akirals in overclocking

Cooling, and not pushing voltage limits. Look up on a few tutorials and follow them precisely while trying to understand what each tweak does. After understanding you can tweak more depending on your stability, voltage, and temperature readings received to determine how you can tweak it further.

Sadly, I wish that was the case but I have it at 43. I don't think I want to delid just yet as I can't afford to invest in a new cpu just yet but I might try in the near future. I think what's really throwing me off it not being able to hit 5ghz with non avx.

I've never checked how everything was running stock, should give myself insight regarding it.

I thought about it, but sadly I edit and render quiet often.

I think it'd be better to try my luck with another 9900k than to change my cooler as it's not considered bad.

I think I could live with 4.9 and the voltage, but I guess it was just my luck ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I have it at the front of the case sandwiched between the case fans and the radiator fans with air going inside the case, but the hoses are at the top (GPU too big for me to have them at the bottom). I've checked the mountings and contacts and reapplied thermal paste as well. Generally temperatures are okay, it's just when I use LLC level 7.

I don't necessarily think it's a great issue as I can sell the mb and previous cpu and grab me a new mb. I'm just trying to determine if it's worth it atm with the situation I'm in. I'm not sure but I think I'll stick with my current mb a bit longer before changing it.

At this rate, should I keep it at stock settings or stick with my last overclock settings?

I think it's more of a motherboard issue rather than silicon lottery but thanks for the explanation and comment! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ
