Hi I'm new here. Just wanted to give a HUGE thanks to CaseySJ for this amazing guide! I've been lurking on this forum for a while but this was my first build. Couldn't have gone smoother! HIGH FIVE CaseySJ and everyone who got this working!
i9 9900k no overclocking with the Corsair H150i Pro and Sapphire Vega 64: (see attached benchmarks and stats)
Max temps under heavy load = ~70C
125 Watts idle and 320 Watts max pulled from the wall under heavy loads (total system power measured with a UPS power supply and digital readout)
I tried overclocking the 9900k a little with mild success. Peak system power consumption jumped from 300 to about 650 watts and cpu temps soared near 100C a couple times. All that while only yielding a 4-5% increase in benchmark performance. In the end I decided the stock bios settings do a good job of maximizing efficiency of this chip, so I'll stick with that.
Speaking of overclocking... while attempting the overclock the computer froze up on me a couple times. After some forced reboots, I am now suddenly unable to enter the bios screen unless I unplug ALL usb devices except the keyboard and mouse. Strange that it didn't behave that way before. Any ideas why that might have changed all the sudden? A cmos reset and a bios update flash from f5 to f6c had no effect. Weird! Not a big deal though.
