Go into XTU and set the Core Voltage Offset to -0.130V, then set the CPU multiplier to all-core 47x and run Time Spy again. Your CPU score should increase from around 7000 to over 10000, and the overall Time Spy score should reach around 22,000 to 23,000.

Using liquid metal does not help much in reducing temperatures. The main cause of high temperatures is the heatsink itself. No matter what you do, the i9-9900K will still reach 100°C. The best thing you can do is undervolt the CPU. Just go into Intel XTU and set the core voltage offset to around -0.120 to -0.130, then set the all-core multiplier to 47x or 48x. After that, run a benchmark and check the results. You should see lower temperatures and noticeably different CPU performance. If the system is stable, you can also try going up to -0.140 offset. My previous 9900K, using the same settings, achieved a score of 10,466 in the Time Spy benchmark.

By sharing your system specifications, we can work together to find the best possible configuration. I can also suggest stable tuning settings so you can get the maximum performance out of your system.

I’m waiting for you to improve your CPU score in Time Spy and send me a really good record so I can enjoy seeing the result. If I had an RTX 5080 right now, I would definitely set an incredible benchmark record with this laptop. Unfortunately, my card is only a 3080 Ti. Come on, let’s make an impressive record with the 5080.

Send me a screenshot of your current RAM frequency and timings so I can check them. I’ll help you tune the best possible settings for maximum performance and stability.

The BIOS versions that allow you to set memory frequencies higher than 2666 MHz are as follows: BIOS 1.1, 1.3.2, 1.5, and 1.7.3. Newer BIOS versions have more restrictions and allow fewer modifications through RU. If you want, I can also send you the best settings for 2933 MHz, with the lowest timings that are both fully stable and deliver excellent performance. In fact, 2933 MHz with CL17 timings performs better than 3200 MHz with CL20 or CL22 timings.

This isn’t a problem — a 9900K naturally runs around 100°C, and that’s not an issue. However, if you’re seeing severe thermal throttling, the problem is usually poor contact between the IHS and the heatsink, which you can fix using a thin copper shim. The best solution is upgrading to a 9900KS. You can check my post — with the 9900KS, temperatures under worst-case conditions reach only around 75 to 80°C. It might sound surprising, but due to power limiting, you can actually get higher performance with lower wattage and significantly lower temperatures.

Time spy test score Old Cpu 9900K: https://www.3dmark.com/spy/56481843 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ New Cpu 9900KS : https://www.3dmark.com/spy/64018720 After upgrading my Alienware Area-51m R1 to the Intel Core i9-9900KS, I noticed that almost every user who performed this upgrade experienced significant CPU performance degradation. Most reported Time Spy CPU scores were only between 8000 and 9000 points due to power limits, EDP throttling, BIOS limitations, and the lack of a proper 9900KS profile in the BIOS. I decided to fully optimize and tune the system manually. After testing multiple BIOS versions, tweaking hidden settings, optimizing memory timings, tuning power behavior, and creating a custom optimized profile for the 9900KS, I finally achieved a stable and fully optimized result. Previously, with the standard i9-9900K, the best temperature I recorded during Time Spy was 96°C. However, after upgrading to the i9-9900KS, the system delivered noticeably higher and more stable performance while running significantly cooler, with a maximum Time Spy temperature of only 71°C. My final Time Spy score reached 18,411 overall, with a CPU score of 11,206 — paired with an EVGA RTX 3080 Ti XC3 that scored 20,767 in graphics performance, which is currently the highest known CPU score achieved with an i9-9900KS on an Alienware Area-51m R1. What makes this result even more impressive is that the CPU maintains excellent temperatures and efficiency while delivering desktop-class performance inside a laptop platform. I compared the performance of my laptop using two processors, the 9900K and the 9900KS. You can see the temperature difference between both CPUs in the Time Spy benchmark. There is more than a 25°C temperature gap between these two processors on the Area-51M. The reason is the power limitation of the 9900KS. By undervolting with XTU, you can achieve higher performance at lower power consumption and significantly lower temperatures. The 9900KS on the Area-51M is power-limited by the BIOS. Since voltage profiles for the 9900KS are not defined in the BIOS, it only allows the CPU to use up to 130W. I am trying to remove this BIOS-imposed limitation. However, even with this 130W limit, you can still achieve significantly lower temperatures compared to the 9900K or any other processor, along with higher performance. If I can remove this limitation, I can increase the CPU score in the Time Spy cpu score benchmark up to 13,000.

Do you have Telegram so you can send me a video of the issue you’re experiencing?

I upgraded the CPU to an Intel Core i9-9900KS. I originally had BIOS version 1.28 installed. In order to remove some limitations, I tested every BIOS version from 1.7.3 up to 1.28. My motherboard is the 2019 revision 2 model, and I had no issues downgrading the BIOS.

My friend says the 5070 Ti has better performance and supports 4x frame generation. Both cards are good, but my recommendation to you is the 5070 Ti.

If you are using a 144Hz FHD panel, your EDP port is 40 pins, 2.5cm long and 0.5mm thick. The cable is in the corner. It is the same as before the R2 models. The 4k models in the R2 are usually the middle socket. If you are planning to change the display, let me know and I will guide you.
