Overclocking has become very common in the past few years as it's an easy method for increasing the performance of your PC to remove any bottlenecks that might exist. We present a quick guide on how to get started tuning your CPU to its maximum, and the good news is that the new 9900K CPUs are actually very similar to the last four generations CPUs, so overclocking is much the same. While Kaby Lake (7th Generation) CPUs were basically Skylake (6th Generation) CPUs, but with a better process (14nm+) and higher clocks, the 9900K (9th Generation) adds more cores and minor process improvements (14nm++). When you add cores you also increase the chance of one core not overclocking to higher levels, and it only takes one core to decrease highest all-core overclock, and that is where the process improvements help. However, here is the crazy news. Intel's 9th Generations S-series CPUs don't statically assign cores to turbo bins, so the one core that needs to hit 5GHz during single core turbo is picked at random. That means that if you can cool the CPU well enough, you should be pretty much guaranteed 4.9-5GHz on all cores. Motherboard power delivery will also play an important role in this endeavor.
