I tested cinebench at 1.3V and each multiplier increase added two points. My computer stopped working after about a quarter of the time.
Please keep an eye on the core temperatures... My apologies for the slow replies—I'm currently in the office.
Your system ran smoothly until the shutdown, with the screen going dark and a clicking sound from your power supply. The core voltage was slightly off at 1.3 instead of the correct 1.285. Check if there are any settings you need to adjust in the BIOS or firmware.
Well the power supply failed or the board? Since it seems like the PSU is the issue (not sure what you're using), you should replace it quickly and plan an overclock later. Try experimenting. My setup doesn’t cut off at 8700k on Maximus X Hero; it usually shows a blue screen or hangs if the OC isn’t stable. This matters because a bad PSU can damage other components. Avoid triggering this shutdown often, but figure out exactly which part caused the problem.
The new PSU is functioning perfectly with sufficient power for the 850W unit. It's possible certain BIOS adjustments are affecting performance.
