5 GHz performance at 4.7GHz on this system is leading to a blue screen issue.
Hello. I aimed to boost my I5-8600k CPU speed to 4.7GHz. Here’s what happened:
Clock: 4.7GHz
Vcore: 1.265V in BIOS
Testing Aida64 Extreme for 15 minutes yielded these outcomes:
Max temperature: 79C
Average temperature: 76C
Average Vcore: 1.209V
The Intel XTU Stress Test completed successfully after 8 minutes:
Max temp: 77C
Average temp: 72C
Vcore average: 1.144V
When attempting the XTU benchmark, my monitor displayed a blue screen and I had to restart. I adjusted the voltage to 1.280 and set the CPU Internal AC/DC LoadLine to Turbo, but it didn’t resolve the issue.
My motherboard: Gigabyte Z370M DS3H
Cooler: Deepcool Gammax S40
Case: CoolerMaster MasterBox 3.1 Lite TG
Fans: 1 out 120mm, 2 intake 120mm
I agree with Rodolphe because that motherboard isn't ideal for overclocking. On the vcore side, I believe the issue lies in setting LLC to at least 'High,' since you might be experiencing some vdroop as indicated by your vcore readings. There are options ranging from auto to extreme on Gigabyte boards... I should know better since I have one.
Have you considered adjusting the multiplier first? Your voltage seems too high. Online sources suggest people have managed higher with 8600k using lower voltages than yours. Meanwhile, some still recommend keeping it at 1.35 for safety. For 8600k, you might find existing specs on the web that others have confirmed are stable.

Do you have an offset or adaptive configuration, or is this a fixed vcore?
