i7 8700k miglioramento prestazioni
I recently upgraded my i7 8700k with a 212 evo, using multi-core enhancement. My frequency reached 4.7 ghz and the vcore voltage was managed by this feature. I tried to optimize it further, aiming for 4.8 ghz with 1.33 on the vcore. Anything below that would cause crashes during Cinebench. I also have LLC (load line calibration) enabled in auto mode. Temperatures were around 83°C in Cinebench and between 60 and 72°C while gaming. Some people claim they achieved 4.8 with much lower voltage, but is there anything I can do or is this a rare situation? If so, is it safe to run the processor at this voltage and frequency? Thanks in advance.
It seems like a silicone lottery situation—1.33v looks safe, and the temperatures seem reasonable. I believe you should be okay with those adjustments.
It really depends, though I thought you should be able to improve. The CPU cooler in the 212 Evo might be limiting you, especially when overclocking the 8700K, particularly at higher voltages. The motherboard plays a role too, and fine-tuning is essential. Many people manage to reach 5GHz at 1.3v, though I can't quite hit it—I need 1.325v for that. I’ve found success with a 4.9GHz setting at 1.278v on my Gigabyte Z370 Gaming 7, paired with a high LLC configuration and the Corsair H150i AIO, which gives me solid cooling. There should be forums dedicated to your motherboard and the 8700K; I’d look into those for baseline settings and then adjust accordingly, keeping in mind better cooling for future overclocking attempts.
