Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming build with working NVRAM

Some random stuff that I had, dunno if there is an answer (or even a best guess):

The first couple times I ran Geekbench 5 I was scoring 6k+ multi-core. For some reason now my second installation is showing scores of 5600 - 5700, which happens to be more in line with what a 9600k should score. Random?

Next, I'm looking to explore my ability to overclock my 9600k within the limits of my NH-L9x65 cooler. Noctua's website says the cooler is perfectly capable of handling a 9600k and its attendant turbo boost. Any tips or resources to go about it considering this particular motherboard?

Thanks!

Post what scores you are able to get with overclocking. I have a i5-9600k and now that my system is pretty much done, I was going to play around with overclocking. At the moment my geekbench scores have been at best 1250 single core and 5700 multi-core. I don't seem to get consistently good values, one time it's 1130/5600 and 5 minutes later I can get 1250/5700. I have 3200MHz speed memory, but turning on XMP seems to cause issues with my system, so I just set the memory to 3200. I think I need to also go in though and set the other timing values, just haven't done that yet. I'm not sure what a reasonable overclock is for air cooling with the 9600k. I have the coolermaster hyper 212 with a second fan on the backside.

I'm a little worried I went too small with my power supply at 650W(>90% efficiency PS) for overclocking. All the calcluations showed I wouldn't get over 500W, but I may be pushing it with the RX590 + TR card + an overclock. I am going to plug my system into my UPS and read how much wattage it's pulling.

I consistently get 1150 - 1200 single core scores, with my multi core scores being around 6200. I have 3600 Mhz memory and the XMP profile set to Profile 1 @ 3600 Mhz.

I will mess around with overclocking, but I only have a Noctua NH-L9x65 and a 620W PSU so I don't have an incredible amount of headroom.

I still suggest trying with your Kepler card or with IGPU. Then plug back the 5600 XT after installation is done.

this is the same issue I was having. the rx 5xxx cards seem to not let things install??? I switch to my rx580 from my 5700 and it installs no issues at all. once I am done installing I put my 5700 back in and all is well.

Here's what I get from my i5-9400F. No overclocking since the CPU is locked... RAM is at 3400MHz.

A good 650W power supply should be sufficient. With my i5-9400F and overclocked Vega 56 I saw over 500W power draw from the wall once and I was stressing everything. The Vega cards are the most power hungry video cards I've ever come across when they are overclocked.

I found the cause of the problem for Catalina 10.15.5-10.15.6. It was an old version of RadeonBoost.kext.

Is there a new one to change to? I would love not having to change it out everytime haha.

Just disable the kext.

The new version just dropped support for Navi cards anyway.
 
Work in progress...

Delidding my new 9900K.

Lid is off and adhesive removed:

Most of the indium has been removed:

Looking good. Indium completely removed. Time bring the shine back...

Nicely polished and cleaned up with acetone. See reflection of my iPhone camera?

Taking my time today. Too hot and humid to rush. All this took almost 2 hours. Not sure if it's my imagination... But the die seems lower then my previous 9900K. On my first 9900K, the IHS seemed to teeter totter on the die a lot more after delidding.
