Hi all,
My first post here. I have an Asus Z370-A prime motherboard, which used to run a 8700k pretty well with a Dark Rock 4 cooler.
I upgraded the CPU to a i9-9900k, re-used the cooler. I can't seem to run it stock, due to high temps. prime 95 seems to shoot right at 100C temps, and it starts throttling.
I tried reducing the voltage to 1.25V, but it crashes. It actually crashes at anything other than 1.35, where it is even hotter.
At stock speeds (load optimized defaults), it does not crash at 4.8Ghz but it is extremely hot.
The only place where it is happy is at a multiplier of 44, where I can down the voltage to 1.2V. It runs prime (right now, and it's hovering at 75 celsius).
But I did not buy this cpu to run it at 4400 ....
Anyone any ideas ?
Yeah , I know motherboard is old and it is not a Z390, but that is a story for another day. I bought darn Gigabyte Aorus Ultra for this CPU, which was faulty, so now I would like to run it here on my Asus until I make up my mind.
Could this cpu be a bad sample, running hot?
Many thanks for any insight.
