Worst 8700k ?
What else do you need? Please include a motherboard and power supply, and the 8700k should reach 4.7ghz stock. You may wish to revise any strong language in your message before a moderator handles it.
8700k 4.4ghz Full core, 1.26v (1.280 full load) LLC 6. This model was sourced from 4.7 all-core 1.26v LLC6 because it nearly crashed my PC during a GTAV turn in a corner. I've run OCCT large, medium data, and AIDA for two hours each without any problems. Running stress tests with full options is not possible due to overheating. Realbench crashes even with default settings at 4.4ghz 1.25v; everything else is fine, so I'm uncertain.

Currently searching for PCIE spread spectrum, MCP PCIE spread spectrum, SATA spread spectrum, and LDT spread spectrum. I found a guide from 2008, so I'm unsure if these features are still relevant, but the explanations help. I might be missing important settings above. All power adjustment options remain auto, and the VRMS temperature throttling is active. Temperatures never exceed 63°C according to hwinfo. It seems I either overlooked a key setting or have a defective chip. I can't even reach 4.5 at 1.26v or get an LLC that pushes it to 1.28v under full load. Crashes occur in Rebel Galaxy Outlaw of All Games.
