need assistance with i7-8700k OC and temperatures
Hi!
I’m completely unfamiliar with OC, but here’s the setup of my PC:
Case: Deepcool Earlkase RGB, 3x120 Arctic cooler fans at the front and 2x120 Deepcool fans on top
CPU: i7-8700k
Motherboard: Asus Prime Z370-A
RAM: 2x8GB G.Skill Ripjaws V 3200mhz
Power Supply: Corsair RM850x
CPU cooler: Deepcool Maelstrom 120T with Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste
I use AIDA64 Extreme for monitoring temperatures and other metrics.
In the BIOS, I ran Asus EZTuning, then configured the PC for Gaming/Editing video. The CPU cooler was set to water cooling, and I manually adjusted the RAM speed to 3200mhz.
The AIDA64 results show:
CPU Clock: 5150Mhz
RAM Clock: 3200Mhz
CPU Core: 1.456V
CPU VID: 1.448V
DIMM: 1.360V
CPU Temp: 35°C at idle, 22°C with room temp, 70°C during CPU stress test (only CPU box checked)
Are these readings acceptable? I’ve heard 1.45V can be risky.
What about my temperatures?
i don't understand or prefer not to adjust manual voltage settings; instead, i use tools like asus utilities. the alternative approach i tried was resetting everything to defaults, then selecting "extreme tuning" in bios, which resulted in 1.376-1.456v and 4.7-5.0ghz based on load and processes. (i think my temperatures are acceptable?)
1.350 Vcore allows continuous operation throughout the year provided temperatures remain between 80-85 degrees Celsius.
1.350 Vcore allows continuous operation throughout the year provided temperatures remain between 80 and 85 degrees Celsius. He mentioned a range of 75 to 80°C.
He refers to a scenario where the CPU operates at maximum capacity with a temperature range of 75 to 80 degrees under heavy load. During the Aida64 stress test, verify three areas: CPU stress, FPU stress, and cache stress. After completing the test for 15 to 20 minutes, observe the temperatures.
