Garbage OC with i7 8700k ?
Have you considered whether the issue could stem from the memory not functioning properly in your system?
I also had trouble with his i7-8700k. I’m puzzled about why, but I really need a very high vcore to let the CPU perform well... extremely high, actually. For 5GHz I require around 1.48v on my Asrock Fitality Z370 gaming i7, and on the TUF it’s about 1.46v. I’ve disabled the CPU so it stays stable at those voltages, but it’s not a pleasant setting. It’s a really bad CPU overall... all reviewers seem to have picked the best Intel options for this device.
