OC for a non-delayed 8086k
OC for a non-delayed 8086k
I just watched the video and adjusted to 1.344v. The main modification was removing the AVX offset because I’m mainly playing games.
The starting time is 100 MHz, which equals 5.4 GHz when scaled appropriately.
I mostly watched the video but changed some settings like @Fasauceome again. The RGB lights on my memory card are now off—no idea how to fix them. Are they damaged? Also, my audio device stopped working twice when I opened Borderlands. Could this be related to voltage issues and turning off the USB?
You can assess your system's stability using tools like Prime95, but for more accurate results, consider software that simulates real-world workloads. Options such as AIDA64, Prime95 (with proper settings), or specialized stress-test utilities provide better insights into CPU and overall performance under realistic conditions.
AIDA64 includes an internal Stability testing tool. I rely on it together with my regular games, paired runs of Cinebench R20 (or continuous loops), and multiple 3DMark tests. Keep in mind there are several titles that leverage AVX instruction sets (such as CS:GO and OverWatch). If you have an AVX offset of -2x, performance drops slightly to 4.8GHz instead of the expected 5.0GHz. I successfully achieved running my i7-8080K at full-core speed of 5.1GHz with an AVX offset of 0. The CPU remains stable under moderate load, though it hasn’t been fully delidded yet. I’m also using a custom EKwb loop with a 38mm thick radiator. For optimal results, aim to maintain CPU and core temps between 75–85°C.
