1.2V is a perfectly good voltage for a 9900KS installed in a Alienware which has a motherboard VRM design that is not suited for powering such a CPU. Ignore the Intel specification of 5+GHz turbo. Installed in an Alienware, 4.5GHz is plenty. Furthermore, the extra 500 MHz is not worth the increased risk of damage to the motherboard, powersupply, etc.
Intel designed these to boost to 5+ and draw unlimited quantities of power under an assumption that the owner is running a top of the line Z390 with a high airflow case, giant power supply, and an impressive watercooling loop.
Silly logic.
A chip specifically designed to push past the 9900k in efficiency and boost clocks shouldn't be used in a build that limits it to 5-700mhz lower than it's ideal frequency. The only reason to buy Intel, and even more specifically the 9900ks with it's extremely high prices is to get that sweet core frequency paired with the low system latency of a monolithic CPU.
Otherwise don't waste your time and go with a Ryzen build which is significantly more efficient and has higher IPC.
As stated before, this build needs a complete overhaul, not just some minor tweaks here and there. You have fundamental issues.
Trash tier VRM.
Trash tier airflow.
Trash tier cooling options - you can't improve it to the level that is appropriate due to case limitations.
What is the reason you need to stick with this Aurora bs? Aesthetics? Really?
Sell the case and mobo on eBay, where someone who likes aesthetics will buy it - and sort yourself out with a decent case, cooler, mobo combo. Then we can talk tweaks.
