Your 9900K video really helped me with OC'n my 9900K. This video really helped me with my 12900K. You make the best videos for overclocking. Keep it up. Be nice to see a video on TVB based overclocking with the 12900K. Thanks for all your help over the years!

Haven’t watched the video yet but i gave it a dumbs up because this is the type of video that I’ve been waiting for … thank you for taking the time to make this 44min video

Perfect timing! I just upgrades to a 11900k this weekend

Well…….at least you talked about the rig components and their role in overclocking. Too many “youtubers” don’t even touch the role that the hardware components play in overclocking stability.

Followed his totuial on OC i9900K a while back and it's still running smooth @ 5GHz. Thanks Boosted Media!!!

Most aggravating part is when your motherboard menu doesn't match ours then we have to go looking for answers elsewhere and then come back to your video. Not your fault just saying.

well done man, Great informational guide to be understood by newbie like i am only started OC about a YEAR ago been watching videos like yours to see what ppl are trying out to diversift from each other and imma got a few pointers from here regarding the PLL cali

Superb video, thanks! One point I think might have been worth making - these all core AVX stress tests are a lot harder to "pass" often than actually playing games. My system is rock solid when using a sim, even at high detail settings meaning relatively high CPU usage, but won't pass the heaviest of the synthetic tests. The former is of course far more important to me.

That is one of the best OC tutorials 👌 Excellent thank you.

Very clear and to the point. Compliments!

all your videos are helpful! keep up the good work!

This guy deserve to be in the top!!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with people👍

I want to buy this guy a beer 🍺, GREAT VIDEO!!! cheers mate

Hi will! Great video! I have an i9 10900K with a MSI Z590 ACE and a Corsair H115i. I have my CPU at 5.2 GHz all cores, with only 1.29 volts! I passed the OCCT test with no errors, it ran for 30 minutes, maximum temperature of the package was 83° C, of single cor was 81° C. I used the same options as you on OCCT. My core voltage was between 1.286 volts and 1.292 volts. I don’t do the OC the way you did. I start with lower voltages, never with 1.4 volts, and if it crashes I raise the core voltage value. I ran Cinebench R23 for 30 minutes and didn’t have any problems! I will run a CPU stress program for 4 or 5 hours to test it for o long period, anyway my computer never crashed when I am playing games. I essentially played rFactor 2, but I have AC, ACC, AMS, AMS2 and they never crashed until now!

Amazing video. Thank you so much!

Thanks a lot. I've got the same CPU and ASUS z590 plus, but my approach was with TVB profiles, which just didn't work at all as Windows would freeze all the time. I noticed even on stock turbo boosts voltage tends to shoot over 1.5v, maybe briefly but it happens. Thanks to your correct direction, now I have 5.3GHz on idle and 5GHz on full load with 1.4v not drooping below 1.35v even under extreme loads. This was done within minutes after watching this video :)

Best OC tutorials on youtube! Really love the setup. I NEED to get one of those test benches. Looks really clean. Still need to de-lid my 8700k lol. Will do it one day.

Thank you for this! I have an 11900k also so any help getting it to go better in sim racing is a plus. I’ve bought the wrong motherboard it seems. All the guides are using the ROG and I’m using the MSI MEG Z590 ACE (because everything else is MSI in my system). Hopefully I can figure out a translation to my bits.

Didn’t know how much was involved. Very informative will, thanks. If I was to ever do this I’d have someone do it pretty confusing for those not tech savvy. You would think though gaming pc’s should already be clocked at max and safe settings

They are. AMD chips ride their limits very well, with PBO providing a very safe overclock. I would not recommend OCing a 11900K in most circumstances as the chip just runs way too hot and we really don't know what the safe voltages for it are.

Hey will, love to see more about fine tuning especially with a GPU rtx3090 etc

Clear and concise as always Will, I'm still happily running your GPU curve OC on my 1080TI. How relevant will this walkthrough be to an Asus X570p MB with a Ryzen5 5600X? Which is in my current build with the water cooled 1080ti in. CPU is on a 240mm AIO

Great video!!! I need 1.38 - 1.39V for 5.1GHZ To be stable... Kept on getting a IRQ not less than equal in just two games at 1.37v and had to raise it slightly

Awesome video Will this guide apply for the 10900k ?

Great video as always @Will I have a question, I saw your interview with the Asetek creator Andr'e Erikson and feel that is a good product so I am thinking of changing to liquid cooling. I have a low budget simple system I built myself, with a i5-3550k cpu and a nividia gtx 1660s gpu, I can overclock to 4100mhz and run about 60 to 75fps on almost full graphic settings on iRacing (the only gaming I do) but if I then run on up to 4200mhz where I can get over 100 fps the cpu heat gets too high and my system goes unstable. My question, do you think a 570LCS 120mm single fan will give me the little extra I need or should I go for a 240mm setup?

Late to the party but great video. I could run mine at 5.1ghz @1.42v core with custom loop but still was touch 80° so I switched to 5.ghz @1.375vcore now it touches maybe 75° while gaming, just produces less heat over a gaming session at 100mhz lower. (All core)

As usual, an awesome video Will. Its great that you can combine your technical skills with SIM racing. Im just wondering if you are the only person on the planet still using Intel (sticking out tongue emoji)

My newsfeed is constantly full of people complaining about reliability issues with AMD processors. CPU won’t be the bottleneck here so I’d rather stay with what’s reliable. I’d also suggest that the vast majority of Intel users don’t feel the need to shout it from the rooftops so it probably seems skewed.

Hey mate, great video. Can we enhance or tune the 11900 non K CPU at all...possibly by XTU? Cheers

Why would you not want to use xmp2 profiles if they are the calibrated numbers ? Or is xmp1 favorable for oc?

Hey. Can you do the same with new i9 13900K with new Asus Rog 790 series motherboard? Few things change so it will be nice to see how you can do it.

Is normal when test stress the usage is not 100% sometimes? One or two cores are example 80% for a bit

Is it the same process for a 10700k on a msi z490-a pro

Ok, noob question because i'm new to this. I have an 8700k watercooled custom also with gpu in custom loop and it runs at 5.00ghz with 1.312v, i ve set the voltage to adaptive plus offset. Is it better to have it on auto, on auto i had around 1.212 v and system ran very fine. Also should i disable the intel turbo boost and eist functions from bios now that the system is manually oc'd? Do i need those to be enabled or not anymore? Thanks guys. Any other tips, are appreciated.

I must’ve got a dud, I can’t get more than 5.3 out of a single core. On that note, after watching cpu load and clock speeds, it seems like when I’m playing games or doing anything more than idle it seems to always be in all core and never tries to use a single core over the 5.0 anyway. Wouldn’t I be better off just dropping voltage to like 1.365ish and go 5.0 all core?

Looking for OC tutorials over half year. This shows the best way to overclock, especially for Intel 11 gen. Unfortunately, my i7 11700k even crash at 5Ghz 1.45v, so I am wondering if it is safe to try 1.5v. I wanna reach 5 GHz honestly.

Having OC’d systems for over 20 years, gonna have to say I’m underwhelmed by the 11900K and the available performance on tap. It’s a great video nevertheless in terms of fundamentals that date all the way back 2nd Gen pretty much, but yeah the gains available from an old 2nd or 3rd Gen (i7-3770K for example) are about 3x more significant than what can be squeezed out from 11th Gen. If you own an 11900K, just turn on XMP, if it’s 3600 or less, then make sure you run Gear 1, and off you go.

your chipset temp is crazy high @67c right after post. And you SHOULD be able to use LL1 with stock speeds and voltages.

Respectfully have to disagree with you on memory timings and system performance both inside and outside of gaming. XMP secondary and tertiary timings are terribly loose because they have to work on every configuration out there. I manually tune all memory timings including the RTL’s and IOL’s. It takes some time to balance performance and stability, but well worth the effort.

The VF curve where you can set offsets for specific ratios is awesome. Usually I only have to mess with the highest one for my OC, so it doesn't impact the other frequencies along the VID/VF curve.

I see the detail that you put into getting to 5Ghz but you skipped to 5.3Ghz when you loaded a profile. I want to see that tweaking process to get to that point.

The freezes and changes when changing bulk graphics settings, so that's bad. But, if I set my per core to 1/2 4.6, 3/4 4.5, it works fine and infrequently / rarely will get a bit of usage at those higher frequencies gaming - but I can't choose WHICH gets it.
