Looking into how high you can overclock the May 8700K for non-AVX tasks, I’m seeking a stress test that focuses on stability rather than AVX usage. You mentioned Real Bench is often AVX-dependent, so what alternative would help assess system stability under load without relying on those instructions?

This version does not utilize AVX.

Additionally, you have the option to turn off AVX in any version of Prime95. Check the instructions text file. Uploading 26.6 remains simpler.

But how reliable is prime95 as a stability check when compared to realbench or AIDA64?

I would use occt. If anything seems even a little wrong, occt will detect it by running it for at least 12 hours.

the settings you're using in occt depend on the dataset size and architecture support. You mentioned testing overclocked ram, which aligns with its purpose of applying extra stress to memory performance.

Latest update for Prime95. Simply turn off AVX.
Reminder: DX12 includes AVX instructions in its API. More games are leveraging this feature. It's advisable to use the maximum AVX offset your CPU supports, at 0, otherwise you risk compatibility issues when running programs or games that utilize AVX.

I observed that with AVX offsets, in games using DX11 like Kingdom Come Deliverance, the offset is mostly used about 70% of the time. I want to understand why.

It seems to be related to an AVX implementation in KC: D.

Source?
DirectX is an API for sending instructions to the GPU, AVX is an instruction set for the CPU, don't see what one would have to do with the other.
