There are literally only 3 AIO's available to us that can keep it cool.
The best of the bunch would be
MasterLiquid ML360R RGB | Cooler Master
What case and what fan setup are you running?
You really should have done more research before buying this chip. It's an endless struggle to keep it cool.
9900K - Its a Beast, but its made by muppets.....
Still muppet cpu is fun to have.
No lack of research I new it ran hot - I was expecting more of a top end of 80 - as thats what a lot of information points to.
Running:
Phanteks Evolv X (3x 120mm 2x intake, 1x exhaust)
Corsair H115i 280mm (replaced stock fans with 2x EK Vardar 280mm)
Agreed.
My only issue is:
I have a 280mm AIO.... would going 360 really be that much of an improvement?
280x140 = 39200 (surface area)
360x120 = 43200 (surface Area)
Phanteks Evolv X (3x 120mm 2x intake, 1x exhaust) <------- The Problem
Any pc chassis with a sealed/closed front is terrible, unless you have a setup like @GuardianTB
Hmm I would say so - However just note these cpus are poorly made, they dump heat like no-other so will it make a difference - YES - however they will still be hot chips without a doubt.

Sadly it's the design of the chip that makes it a hot chip(check out debauers youtube channel he explains it perfectly) . There is only so much coolers can do due to cooling surface area and surface contact on the cpu etc.Do you think waiting for cooler manufacturers to mature towards 9th gen and the hotter chip is wise or will it just be moot?
If I had this chip I would delid if its not already soldered and then use some liquid metal/Conductonaut on the IHS. Pointless going with a normal TIM when you spending a lot of money on an AIO.

I settled for the 9700K since I knew the 9900K would be a nightmare to cool. Even the 9700K easily hits 85'C+ with a custom loop (5GHz @ 1.376v) and draws 200w. Prime95 small FFT's aren't possible since it immediately shoots the temps up to over 100'C. My Strix Z370-G motherboard actually shuts down due to the VRM's overheating when running video encoding for extended periods. Time for a monoblock I guess...
As said above, lapping is the last thing you can try but unless it's seriously uneven you'll gain 3-5'C at the most. And who would want to void the warranty on their brand new R12k i9 chip?
Your cpu just not a great OC'er?
Your V seems high for 5Ghz
Not the best OC'er it seems. I must admit I was also testing worst case scenario with the temps. What voltage are you running for 5GHz?
I guess it also depends what your metric of "stable" is. I was using this mehod. With other "stress tests" I could run 5.1GHz @ 1.32v
Can everyone who posted in here, please state what motherboard they are running and how stable their RAM overclock is?
Asking for a friend who is suffering CUD.
Thanks
