[Bios] Maximus XI Extreme LLC problem

A_sH79

Hi everyone

System Spec
MB Asus Maximus XI Extreme
Bios 0805
CPU I9 9900K
Ram GSkill 4x8 4000 CL18
Samsung pro 970 512GB
PSU Bequied 1000W

CPU @5Ghz AVX offset -1, Bios vcore fixed @1.340 LLC 5, CPUz/HWinfo idle vcore 1.315 – Prime AVX max load 1.165v.
Sometimes the system crash at low load (1.26 to 1.28v)/load change. Tried LLC 4 to 8 but with every LLC aside from 5 crashes the System when the load changes from idle to full load.

Reset Bios to default (no OC all settings auto) Auto LLC 6 -> crash instant to 2sec in Prime
Switched LLC Auto to 5 and system runs prime / linpack 1h but random crash in Games at low load/load change
CPU and Ram tested in MSI Z390 ace at 5Ghz AVX -1, Bios vcore fixed @1.295v, CPUz/HWinfo idle vcore 1.286 – Prime AVX max load 1.270v runs without problems in Prime, Games, load changes etc.

Power draw and Temps about the same.
Advice needed cause I don’t know how to fix the problem. Why is every LLC setting beside level 5 crashing the system at load change?

With these settings i get the same result. Prime full load avx vcore to 1.199 - 1.208 10 sec. into the run system crash.
Run a few test with multi 49 to 47 and llc 6 (adjusted vcore / auto setting) at best 30sec till crash. Tried llc 7 even worse. Back to llc 5 and higher idle voltage 1.315v multi 50 axv -2 1h Prime stable avx/non avx. Avx offset 0 or -1 load voltage drops to 1.15 - 1.17 and get unstable single cores report error and stop the prime worker.
After testing i`m 99% sure this is caused by the vcore dropping to low. increasing voltage ends up with crashing non avx load

Load voltage is now just the same as llc 6 at 1.208 @5Ghz non avx prime and running
same load voltages, same power draw and right about same temps that i can read in tools @ same cpu multi llc5 running llc6 -8 crashing.
Only difference with llc6 and the right idle vcore i can run 5Ghz all core prime avx load over 30min (stopped the test) but then crashing shortly after starting prime non avx or cinebench 15

I have the configuration 9900k, Xi extreme, H150i, 2080ti, 16gb 3600mhz, I followed this configuration, I turned p95 for 1 hour and I got stability! the maximum temperature was 93 degrees! fine? Can I change something to improve the temperature?
