Different questions about overclocking / Aorus Master z390 and 9900k

[Asryan]

Hi,

I'm always trying to tweak stuff and get better results and temps and so I have a few questions


High vcore / Low LLC or Low Vcore High LLC?
I'm running at 1.24 with turbo LLC but I was advised to rise the vcore to lower LLC. During my test though, i have no overshoot with turbo.

Intel speed shift in bios : i have it enabled
Does it has a big impact on temps, even at idle ? can this settings when enabled, can mess up an oc or a stress test?


max performance plan in windows : i'm on normal mode
Same question

C state : i have it disabled because of coil whine issues
Same question


Fixed vcore or adaptive one?
I tried to set up a adaptive vcore but the results are not perfect for now, need more testing.
Tried different level of LLC, different offset but best I had was one hour stable on small occt before a WHEA error in HWINFO...

Aorus Master F11C bios.
I read some complains about this bios, should I roll back?

Cinebenchs
Does cinebench (both of it) need to run in real life process? I would like to be able to compare my results to others and i wanna be on the same page


VT-D
Does that settings has any impact on the OC, temps or stability?

I guess that's all that comes in my mind right now, thanks for your answers !

High vcore / Low LLC or Low Vcore High LLC?
depends on vrm's on your motherboard... if they are strong high llc or second high for durability of the chipset

intel speed shift in bios
i think that u cant oc without it or was it speed step...not sure gotta look

max performance plan in windows and Fixed vcore or adaptive one?
i use ultra performance with fixed voltage coz then there is less changes in voltage changes but my cpu is on water cooling so no problems with temps

VT-D
on or off has no efect on ocing

Cinebenchs
i use it just to get general overwiev of the cpu performance, temps, vcore etc and i run it as default process as developers meant
i use my pc only for gaming and i never met a game that stresses hardware so much like cinebench

Thanks !

For info those were my temps avec 2h occt large AVX2 on turbo, i could not find the right vcore to apply on high but haven't tried it for a long time.

I'm at 1.24 on turbo, tried at 1.29 on high, wasn't stable, i should try higher? For what i see on the screen above, the vcore even on turbo is always between 1.232 and 1.242 so a bit of vdrop and no overshoot. Also the vrout looks ok too. Should I keep turbo since those values looks ok?

Also what about c state?

1. LLC - you were advised to figure out how you want it to look...IF you had droop you can change it if you choose.

2. Speedshift - If it is enabled amd you are stable, leave it. This is a choice, for you.

3. Performance plan - Your choice...do you want clocks up all the time or want it to drop?

4. Cstates - your choice. do you want the cpu to drop when idle? See #3 as well.

5. We already went over fixed versus adaptive in another thread... your choice...

6. Are YOU having trouble with the bios? Doesn't seem so... leave it alone. That said, if you aren't on the latest, why not flash it? You don't have to if things are working...

7. Cinebench... no idea what you are asking here.... run it and compare the scores.

8. If we look up what VT-D is, you'll see it has to do with running VM's and absolutely nothing to do with voltages.
