Hi, as the title, do you guys still overclock? For 24/7 usage not just for benchmarking i have a 13900k on a strix z790e and gskill ddr5 6400cl32 Cooler is arctic freezer ii 360 Bios says sp97 and i was wondering if its worth looking to overclocking still for 24/7 use
I have A.I. overclocking enabled in my BIOS with XMP II selected. I've OC'd my 4090 to 3ghz on the core and 11,300 to 11,500 on the memory. I've witnessed 5 to 15 fps increase in some titles. I just finished testing my OC profile in Cyberpunk and witnessed a 7 to 11 fps increase. I have 10 Lian Li fans and a water cooled CPU. My intel build is practically the same as yours. I messed around with the overclocks just to see the difference in framerate. Our default clocks gives us fantastic performance. If my framerate in most games is well over 100fps @4K max settings, the extra frames aren't noticed very much in my opinion. I've decided to shutdown the overclocks due to having outstanding performance without them.

Great! Thanks! I might add another 2x32Gb to fill the 4 slots for aesthetics just that from experience in my previous rig, going from 32 to 64 didnt do anything for me performance wise
It does look nice seeing all 4 slots filled though. but any issues with the memory controller with populating all 4 sticks?
No not at all. On the Intel side of things the BIOS accepts compatible memory nicely. Configures with ease. The only complaint I have about the Z790 motherboards are the Ethernet controllers. The 1226-V is garbage. I purchased an adapter and my download speeds are top notch now. I hope you have a good revision and don't run into problems.
