Where are you seeing that the Intel® Processor is not going higher than 2.1GHz? So, make sure the BIOS is working with default settings and also look for an option called "Intel® Speed Step" disable it and test the unit, this feature sometimes it blocks the Intel® Processor from reaching the Processor Base Frequency. Check with the manufacturers of system and components for additional details. Product warranties may not apply if the processor is operated beyond its specifications.


In reference to your inquiry, just to let you know, the Processor Base Frequency of the Intel® Core™ i9-9900K Processor is 3.60 GHz, as you can confirm in the link below:Īccording to ASUS web site, the BIOS version the board needs is 1803 or higher, so please install the latest BIOS version for the board which is 2401, We suggest to contact ASUS directly to verify how to do the update to the latest version since it is not recommended to jump all the way to the final version:Īltering clock frequency or voltage may damage or reduce the useful life of the processor and other system components, and may reduce system stability and performance.
