8700k Overclock Temperature 5ghz
8700k Overclock Temperature 5ghz
I am running a stress test on my 8700k at 5ghz using CPU-Z. At full load my temperature never rises above 83 degrees Celsius. I have a kraken x62. At idle my cpu is around 36-40 degrees. Is this a decent temp for an overclock? Note: I have not delidded my cpu.
It seems likely acceptable, though temperatures under 80°C would be preferable. Maybe reducing the voltage slightly could help.
DAW0021, Welcome is extended by the Tom's Moderator Team! Even though the "Throttle" temperature for the i7-8700K reaches 100°C, the typical operating range for core temperature is as follows: Temperatures exceeding 85°C are not advised. Temperatures under 80°C are considered optimal. Core temperatures fluctuate with changes in ambient conditions; the global standard for normal room temperature is around 22°C or 72°F. Q: What is your room temperature? Q: What core voltage did you observe during the stress test? Q: What was your power usage during the stress test? The "Stress CPU" benchmark under CPU-Z's "Bench" tab reflects approximately 80% of the TDP load. Our tests involved an overclocked 8700K processor at 5.0GHz, running at 1.344Vcore with a 240mm AIO unit in a room temperature of 22°C. Using CPU-Z version 1.89.0, we performed Bench and Stress CPU tests; the average core temperature was 62°C during active load, dropping to 25°C when idle. When running P95 v29.8 Small FFTs with AVX disabled, the power draw increased to 156 Watts, with an average core temperature of 71°C and idle at 25°C.

Well jeez, obviously there just wrong. Cause they didn't take into account that if you just cool your cpu to negative 62, you can run 6ghz all day long. Lol.
Makecool, No one here is talking about using subzero/subambient cooling. Were talking about running a cpu with an off the shelf cooling solution, at a reasonable overclock for day to day use. Not trying to break records.
Reality is you do not run subambient cooling on a daily use pc. So yes while the 8700k can run at 7.1ghz, that's not what's being asked in this thread.
