The i7 8700K is not able to idle properly, and the voltage adjustment fails when trying to force it into idle mode.

I'm running an H80i V2 and checked the temperatures using Prime95: https://imgur.com/a/yPoXb. Everything seems fine.
Have you attempted a CMOS reset?
Did you update the BIOS?
why don't you adjust the power settings in windows? set a minimum cpu performance like 10%. the cpu will downclock itself and voltage should decrease as well. i don't know why you're changing it in bios, but if it works, it might help. try turning MCE on, with your overclock and manually adjusting the voltage—I read somewhere that this can cause the cpu to downclock during idle and voltage to drop. i'm not 100% sure, but it might not hurt. if you'd like, i can share my 4,8 ghz profile settings. i also have an 8700k maximus x hero.
why dont u go into power settings in windows? set minimum cpu performance like 10%. cpu will downclock itself and voltage should drop too. idk why u are messing with it in bios, if this works.
try turning MCE on, with ur overclock and manually set voltage, i read somewhere like this, ur CPU downclocks on idle and voltage drops, im not 100% sure if this is true but try it, dosent hurt.
if u want, i can give you my 4,8 ghz profile settings. i have 8700k maximus x hero too.
i've tried all that, still doesn't idle. Would love it if you could share your profile!
Windows power plan is set to balanced
BIOS Vcore voltage is adjusted to adaptive
Are you relying on AI Suite for your overclocking? Please share your DIGI+VRM settings.
just follow these steps
* set windows power plan to balanced
* change BIOS vcore voltage to adaptive
Tried it, please review my response later
are you relying on AI Suite to handle your overclocking tasks? if so, could you share your DIGI+VRM configurations?

i personally manage all fan speed and monitoring settings through BIOS, but here are my current DIGI+VRM settings.
you installed the AI suite without using the 5-way optimization. at the same time, you adjusted your vcore in the BIOS manually and made other OC tweaks yourself. if you removed the AI suite and set your vcore to adaptive, it should function properly with your balanced powerplan. you want your BIOS manual settings to align with what you manually configured in the AI suite, but this isn’t possible. either apply the 5-way optimization results and update the AI suite values, or uninstall the AI suite and set your vcore manually in the BIOS. you can’t have both options.
to restore the desired vcore voltage behavior with the AI suite, you need to enable auto in the BIOS and modify the AI suite settings accordingly. save them as your default profile, or run the 5-way optimization and adjust directly in the AI suite without changing BIOS settings.
