Extreme heat using manual voltage control
Extreme heat using manual voltage control
Hello everyone, I own an i7 8700k and I'm interested in overclocking it. I'm new to CPU overclocking, so every time I set a manual voltage from the BIOS (like 1.2V), my temperatures go up to around 95 degrees during tests such as Cinebench. My cooler is the Dark Rock Pro 4 and I've managed to keep decent temps with the automatic voltage settings. Thanks in advance!
Was das wirklich nur eine einzelne Durchführung war oder hast du einen 'unendlichen Loop' eingeleitet?
Infinite Loop: Öffne die Datei, klicke darauf und gehe zu Einstellungen. Unter Minimum Test Duration gib eine völlig unmögliche Zahl ein, wie 9999999999999, und es wird automatisch auf das Höchste gesetzt. Führe es dann etwa eine Stunde lang durch – je länger, desto besser.
Das sollte funktionieren. Kein Nutzer sollte höher als die Standard-Einstellungen für mittlere LLC verwenden, es sei denn, du verwendest LN2 oder die VRMs sind flüssiggekühlt.
Also, I'm confirming the motherboard settings for a straightforward overclock that shouldn't lead to overheating. Looking forward to it.
Cinebench is an AVX workload. AVX programs can exceed maximum temperatures during tasks like gaming. The simplest solution is to adjust the avx offset in your BIOS. Searching online for "How to set avx off set for X motherboard" should provide guidance.
Thank you for your reply! Tomorrow I'll share all the details.
Activated the multi-core optimization. Below are the recorded temperatures and peak speeds from the Cinebench test.

We have limited headroom on AVX tasks and we can include an AVX offset, but let's check the available space. Consider adjusting the multiplier to 47 with auto settings, then execute Prime95 version 26.6, perform a blend test monitoring temperatures for five minutes and record the maximum vcore. I'll follow up with specific configurations for further testing. Your temps are currently under control. My machine originally had an 8700K but it was delidded, reducing temperatures by 15 degrees—still manageable with proper cooling, especially for a straightforward all-core overclock at 4.8GHz. We'll progress from there!
