8700k OC 4.7ghz
I changed the BIOS on Asus and adjusted the multiplier to x47. Everything else is set to auto manual with Vcore 1.27. I ran a cinebench test and the maximum Vcore reached 1.312v in HWINFO, while idle stayed at 1.28v, which seems unusual given I configured it to 1.27v. To check stability further, what other methods can I use besides realbench, AIDA, or Prime? Aida and Prime often cause system issues, but realbench tends to crash around the 10-second mark even with default settings.
It's a 240mm floe, but the temperatures are low in the mid-80s Celsius. The voltage is manual at 1.27v. In hwinfo it shows it's idle at 1.280v. Should I adjust it to 1.28v in BIOS? Also, it throttles down to around 4ghz during full load in Cinebench to stay under 95w. That's fine with me. Thanks for your reply.

Yep, that's correct. I've watched all the videos. It's not working properly when done manually. The CPU gets too hot without throttling, but this method helps. I was wondering if I should adjust the vcore to match the value shown in hwinfo because there seems to be a mismatch between what I set and what it reports.
AVX offset at 0 won't cause throttling, just ensure stability there.
Also, check your power settings in Windows—search for "ultime performance windows" online.
Sorry I'm not fully technical right now, but I can share more details later if you're interested.
Adjust the Load Line Calibration to level 5 to manage overshoot during CPU load. Ensure Windows power settings are set to "Ultimate Power" or similar.
It's no longer a concern. The 4.7 rating didn't hold up at that voltage, and raising the vcore isn't feasible with my AIO. I restored everything to its original state. LLC5 would overvoltage during stress tests. At 1.25v plus LLC5, it was around 1.23v under load, which is unstable. The Windows settings are performance mode with full power and no throttling.
