My configuration includes CORSAIR 570X RGB, intel i7 8700k, G.SKILL TridentZ RGB 16GB (2 x 8GB) 3200Mhz, Zotac1080Ti AMP Extreme, SAMSUNG 960 EVO 250GB, Hydro Series™ H115i, ASUS Z370E ROG STRIX, Corsair RM1000. Windows is installed on an SSD. Multicore enhancement is active, turbo boost is enabled, and I set the voltage to 1.25v with a clock speed of 5ghz. The system started up at 5ghz but the voltage remained stuck around 1.35 to 1.4v. After switching to MCE, the clock dropped to 3700mhz and the voltage stayed unchanged. I then re-enabled MCE, turned off speedstep and Clock settings, which resolved the issue. Now I’m running at 5ghz with turbo on between 1.35 and 1.4v, achieving stable temperatures during testing.

Clear the BIOS and begin anew. There seems to be an issue... Avoid installing optimal settings, reset the BIOS first, then proceed to your 5GHz overclock. You should be able to do that with a core voltage between 1.295 and 1.315... Something in that range.
