New to Intel chips/bios…friend gave me an old 10900k and i built an ITX…need help

PICS INCLUDED :[https://imgur.com/a/oxJE2k7](https://imgur.com/a/oxJE2k7)

COOLING: 2×120 exhaust on top (artic p-12)
2×120 arctic p12 on thermaltake peerless assassin
1×90 mm on rear

MOTHERBOARD: ASROCK z490 Phantom Gaming ITX

Memory: vcolor 4000mhz DDR4 64 GB

idle temps are good… 33-40 after bootup and in windows

cinebench r23…gets up to 95 with my current OC in pics

Im asking for help in tuning this thing…I feel like I can get better than a 16k multi score in cinebench over a 10 min throttle test

Any help would be awesome…feel free to ask me any questions

PS – I haven’t done cable management yet – just slapped it together to see what would happen

  1. As you can see effective clock doesn’t hit 51x. Throttle or bugged ? Also idk if you’re on a lower power limit for the cpu but it might pull more than 250W.

    Try running cinebench with realtime priority, close everything running in the background, get [Counter Control](https://www.techpowerup.com/download/counter-control/) (used to fix a windows defender bug which will not let cpu effective clock hit max), make sure windows power plan allows 100% state etc.

    17428 – my score on 5.1/4.8 tuned DR b-die, AIO.
