Trying to run an i7-8086K faster by overclocking it?
Anyone looking to figure this out, i got it working for me. I changed a total of 15 settings in the BIOS. 1: CPU RATIO APPLY MODE = ALL CORE 2: LONG DURATION POWER LIMIT = 4096 (max setting) 3: SHORT DURATION POWER LIMIT = 4094 (max setting) 4: CPU RATIO OFFSET WHEN RUNNING AVX = 0 (optional setting) 5: CPU CORE VOLTAGE MODE = Override/Manual 6: CPU CORE VOLTAGE = Testing from 1.150 up to max 1.350 7: HYPER THREATING = ENABLED 8: C STATE = ENABLED 9: ACTIVE PROCESSOR CORES = ALL 10: CPU LOADLINE CALIBRATION MODE = Testing from 5 up to 6 11: CPU RATIO MODE = DYNAMIC 12: CPU RATIO = Testing from 4 up to 5 GHz 13: ENCHANCED TURBO = ENABLED 14: INTEL TURBO BOOST = ENABLED 15: EIST (intel speed step) = ENABLED Basically change all those options (they are called a little diffrent on ASUS boards but similar) once youre done changing those settings just experiment what is the best working voltage and GHz for you. For example for me im testing right now, 6: CPU CORE VOLTAGE = Testing from 1.150 up to max 1.350 12: CPU RATIO = Testing from 4 up to 5 GHz 10: CPU LOADLINE CALIBRATION MODE = Testing from 5 up to 6 Example: "test 1" = Core Ratio i used 4.60 GHz with a Cpu Core Voltage of 1.150 That was working well so i tryed pushing further. "test 2" = Core Ratio 4.70 GHz with a Cpu Core Voltage of 1.150, after 10 minutes gameplay i got a crash (normally dont happen) so the overclock was not stable and i changed the voltage from 1.150 to 1.250, This setting worked better but also not perfect, so i tryed changing the load line calibration mode from 5 to 6. This is how the testing works. With the i7 8086k 4GHz 6 Threads 12 Cores, now i use 4.60 GHz with 4700 MHz instead of 4000 MHz Its an overclock about ~15% acording to the benchmark i made with tool named OCCT. I dont go above 4.70 GHz because temps are getting to high and its not stable/save.
