i5-8600k Throttling at 70*C
i5-8600k Throttling at 70*C
I’m a beginner with overclocking
My i5 8600k is slowing down to 3600 MHZ, around 1.06V (sometimes even less) when I’m running P95 and I don’t know why. I’ve also measured it at [email protected] (slowly lowering the voltage to check if that would help, I might be able to go lower to 4.7), but it still throttles after about 15 seconds of P95 according to CoreTemp. The [email protected] also causes throttling when TimeSpy is running in 3dmark, but I was able to keep it stable at 4.7 while using Time Spy.

With around 70C the temp should not be the issue unless thermal protection - here I do not know MSI boards well enough - is somewhere set to 70C as a temperature target. Are you experiencing the same also at 4,7Ghz where you wrote it is running stable? What if you reach the 70C at 4,7Ghz? With which tool are you seeing the 70C please? Looking into the related TH review a lot more capable cooling solutions end at around 70-80. I have my doubts that the H80i can achieve the same result.
I'm seeing the same readings with the 4.7 OC, and whenever it reaches 70 it slows down. However, the 4.7 takes more time to reach that temperature.
Yes! I thought about setting a limit on wattage or thermal output. That should be resolved now. The same applies to temperature and power targets for GPUs too.
