Typical temperature around 4.7 ghz for i7-8700k
Typical temperature around 4.7 ghz for i7-8700k
My temperature is about 30c during idle and 75c under load (in cinebench r 15). Is this typical for my first overclock?
Looks very promising to me.
at idle, I anticipate 10-15c. with any cooler in a well-ventilated case.
You're doing well there.
75c. is acceptable under load. I might aim for up to 85c. during a stress test.
The main thing to keep an eye on is vcore.
You should avoid exceeding 1.4v.
Check this with cpu-Z.
I think you likely have more room than expected.

What percentage of I7-8700k chips can operate at an aggressive vcore close to 1.4 or slightly higher and remain delidded?
5.0 88%
5.1 54%
5.2 22%
Don't worry too much about temperature.
The chip will slow down or shut down if it senses a high heat level.
That would be around 100c.
Actually, I wouldn't take any action—how much more than 4.7 would you really need?

Just in case you require additional confirmation, geofelt accurately reflects that temperatures are excellent.

75c is a very safe overclock temperature and helps the CPU last longer.
The better my overclocking performance with the 8700K, the better the silicon quality and cooling solution are, plus other BIOS-related factors.
