Top voltage CPU core for 7700K to 5.0Ghz overclock
Top voltage CPU core for 7700K to 5.0Ghz overclock
Johnny Shalos shared his experience with similar components. He noted that 1.320V is too low for 5.0GHz and would likely experience blue screens at 1.35V upon booting. He asked if the other person uses the same CPU, cooler, and motherboard. Johnny mentioned having an i7-7700K with NH-D15S, but a less quality motherboard. He also pointed out that CPU voltage requirements can vary widely and that he hasn't used IntelBurnTest before, relying mainly on Prime95 and occasionally AIDA64. He described his performance at 1.35V as around 87°C after several minutes of Prime95, which has decreased to about 67°C now.

You shouldn't have destroyed anything at that power setting... It's possible, but extremely unlikely... You might want to reset your CMOS and start your BIOS OC from scratch...

I reset the CMOS and reconfigured my BIOS OC settings again. Now it's worse—it's increased from 35v to 40v... because I forgot to enable input 2 for AVX, which caused a blue screen I don't understand what happened...
🙁
Maybe it's not my day, and it's better to keep it without overclocking. I should have left it at 1.320v without making any changes after... Did I make any adjustments if I reinstalled Windows? By the way, my PC is new (only 2 days used). Also, I'm forgetting to mention that when I run benchmark programs like Cinebench and IntelBurnTest, the voltage goes up to 80-90v—that's normal?
Thank you for your answers and patience (with me)
😛
Edit: Now it's down to 32c!
maybe it needs some time to stabilize?
I'm not sure what you meant by 80-90v.

I'm not sure what you meant by 80-90v.
Stress tests with IntelBurnTest and Prime95 showed a voltage range of 80-90v.
I believe Volk was trying to clarify the origin of the 80-90V figure... Were you referring to a temperature range of 80 to 90°C?
If operating at 5.0GHz with temperatures between 80-90°C during stress testing is typical, it indicates a hot environment. This is considered normal for such conditions, but if it occurs during regular operation, measures should be taken to reduce heat levels.

Yes if you're at 5.0GHz and reaching 80-90C during stress tests—that's a normal hot temperature. If it happens during regular use, you should take steps to reduce the heat.
Thank you, just in stress tests I get up to 60C while playing games.
60C is great! I have a 6700k myself that is OC'd and I run similar temps while gaming and it has not died yet!
