Looking for assistance with 8600k overclocking
Hello, I recently upgraded my PC with the 8600k and learned it's relatively straightforward to achieve stability at 5GHZ even with low voltages. It took me 1.4 Core Voltage and AVX 3 before all cores passed the initial stress test in prime 95. This surprised me a bit. I’m not sure if there’s anything I can do about it.
I have a few questions:
- My VID showed 1.4 during the stress test, but my Vcore ended up at 1.264, and after stopping the test it was 1.376 Vcore and 1.33 VID. How does that make sense?
- I own a Noctua D-15 and the 8600k chip, which allows me to perform some overclocking for stable gaming performance. So far, I’ve been let down by the results, aiming for at least 5GHZ consistently, but that goal feels more distant now.
- I purchased the 8600k with an Asrock Extreme4 Z370, G.skill 16 GB 3200mhz RAM, and a Gigabyte G1 GTX 1070. Do you know if there’s a way to resolve this issue?
Recent bios updates?
Prioritize overclocking CPU, then turn off XMP.
Reduce cache to 42; adjust when you hit oc limit.
Lower vcore and restart.
Choose settings based on your board's basic specs,

I suggest that you read some OC guides, there is more to overclocking than raising multi and vcore.
Its very difficult to help when we don't know what components you have. List every thing.
Take a look through this thread,

Now for some reality, not every chip will run the same as others.
The internet is full of people parroting bad info, or straight out lying about their oc.
My 8700k will not do 5.0 at a somewhat comfortable vcore, it takes 1.45 to stabilize cpu at 4.9. And I have had to adjust all of the other voltages(IO,SA,VTT) and settings(SVID behavior, current limits) to get this oc stable. I also have delidded chip. But it is solid, passing OCCT large and small data sets for three hours each.
Silicon Lottery(the company) says that about 60% will do 5.0, you may have a 40 percent chip.

Thank you, I appreciate the reply.
I've been researching overclocking the past 2 days, I thought it was time to take a crack at OC'ing. My expectations were based on other people's OCs, and my expectations haven't been met yet. I don't wanna give up yet and just simply accept the fact that 5 GHZ is out of the question.
That website you sent me, I have come across before, but it just seemed to me like a bunch of people bragging about getting 60 GHZ on 0.5V and stuff.
As far as I remember I got
50 multiplier, 45 for cache. LLC set to 3, AVX set to 3. Volt is 1.4, XMP profile is on for the ram. I think that is how far I got so far.
I got the 8600k with an Asrock Extreme4 Z370, G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16 GB 3200mhz, and an Gigabyte G1 GTX 1070
