So what's the best way to do it? I'm not sure there's a way to turn XTU "off" and just let the BIOS settings do their thing without XTU interfering. This all runs fine and good and maintains decent temps without overloading my MoBo VR, and I think I'd like to make these settings permanently in BIOS instead of XTU, especially since I triple-boot this machine in Windows, MacOS, and Linux, and I want these benefits in the other OSes, too.

Set my processor core ratio to 50x and my cache ratio to 48x.

Here's what I've got running stably on my system, with temps maxing out at 82C:Ĭranked Turbo Boost Max and Short Power Max up to 255W. I've had some great success with my 9900k using Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility. I'm reasonably new to the whole overclocking thing. CPU: i9-9900k Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 Mobo: MSI Z370-A Pro
