Find ways to boost the I5 8600K performance through overclocking.
your setup includes an i5-8600k processor, a h400i cooler, and a Corsair RM750x with RGB lighting. you're running gigabyte gaming OC white v2 2060, paired with a 16gb ram module at 3200mhz. the motherboard is msi z370m mortar with a 1tb wd blue os drive and a 500gb mx500 ssd for games. your cpu is overclocked to 4.8ghz at 1.255v, but stability drops below 1.225v. on prime95 it works fine at 4.8ghz, yet power limits cause clock throttling and overheating. you've spent over seven hours troubleshooting, and the system caps at around 73°C on p95 avx. is this safe for gaming?
Receiving a D15S would resolve the issue of the case being too small.
I've tested it from 2 to -10 and kept getting through. At least it's working on auto or -2.
The issue stemmed from power limit throttling in XTU, causing the clock to drop. It wasn’t a CPU temperature problem—I’ve tested the AVX offset without any changes.
The issue stemmed from power limit throttling in XTU, causing the clock to slow. It wasn't a CPU temperature problem—AVX offset still shows as high at 3°C.
