Consider upgrading your i7-8700k if you want better performance.
Consider upgrading your i7-8700k if you want better performance.
Consider whether pushing it higher is safe given the current performance and temperatures.
There is no realistic way to maintain only 40 degrees Celsius under load at 5.0GHz unless you employ special cooling methods or reside in an extremely cold setting. If you use an AIO water cooler, initial readings might look surprisingly low, but these will rise as the coolant warms up and the system becomes saturated with heat. The main concerns are your core voltage and temperature—if it reaches 80 degrees Celsius or higher, further increases aren't advisable due to potential damage.
There is no realistic way to maintain only 40 degrees Celsius under load at 5.0GHz unless you employ special subambient cooling methods or reside in an extremely cold setting. If you use an AIO water cooler, initial readings might look surprisingly low, but these will rise over time as the coolant warms and the system becomes saturated with heat. The main concerns are your core voltage and temperature—if it reaches above 80 degrees Celsius, further increases should be avoided unless cooling improves.
I have an i7-8700k ocd running at 5.0ghz with temperatures near 40°C under load—should I push it further? I’m unsure if it’s the right time. Is the CPU underperforming already? Did you find it disappointing before you increased its clock speed? If not, then why would you go further?
I'm checking if I should push this i7-8700k even higher. It's running at 5.0ghz with temps near 40°C under load—any advice on whether to go further? Also, could you share some screenshots of its current state? I think there might be a misunderstanding about the details.
I have an i7-8700k ocd at 5.0ghz with temperatures near 40C under load—should I push it further? I’d appreciate some screenshots to confirm the details. It seems there might be a misunderstanding about the data you’re using. My 4.9GHz overclock is nowhere near that heat level. Are you sure you’re running Prime95 or Aida64?
