Would it be advisable to attempt boosting my 8700k to 5.1GHZ considering the current temperatures?
Would it be advisable to attempt boosting my 8700k to 5.1GHZ considering the current temperatures?
you already mentioned finding the lowest stable voltage for your current overclock. Then you could consider increasing the multiplier and repeat the process. It seems more like a confirmation of what you were thinking rather than a direct answer. Thanks, I’ll try it in a day or two when I have some time and then ask what to do next. I really need to admit I’m very new to this—it’s not exactly funny.
In the meantime, here are a few questions:
1. I copied those settings from a guide without understanding their purpose. Someone said I should try raising the cache or lowering AVX, but I’m not sure what that means.
2a: How would I go about increasing the cache? Should I just keep adding 1 until it stops working?
2b: What is the meaning of this AVX offset setting?
Keep the cache untouched. It looks like you're making this harder than necessary. This is the method I used to overclock my i5 8600k: increased the multiplier to 50, set LLC at 5 out of 10, switched CPU Core/GT Voltage Mode to Adaptive+Offset Mode from auto, and found a stable cpu vcore in prime 95 and aida 64. That was it. I didn't touch the cache or AVX.

The cache is left alone as it seems. It looks like you made this process more complicated than necessary. Here’s how I overclocked my i5 8600k: increased the multiplier to 50, set LLC at 5 out of 10, changed the CPU Core/GT Voltage Mode to Adaptive+Offset from auto, and found a stable cpu vcore for Prime 95 and AIDA64. That’s it. I didn’t touch the cache or AVX. So, are you suggesting I should just ignore AVX completely? Just to be clear.
UrbanCamper:
Yes, sir. Thank you all for your assistance, including the rest of you. I'll share more updates soon.
Was die 1,42-Volt-Version mit MCE aktiviert?
Hattest du XMP aktiviert?
Ich würde nicht auf Auto-Modus der Motherboards vertrauen.
XMP verändert die Spannungen von SA und VCCIO ohne weitere Anpassung. Auch das Erhöhen der RAM-Frequenz auf einem ASUS-Board führte zu höheren Spannungen für den RAM.
Alles in allem ist der Grunge für mich völlig akzeptabel. Ich möchte nicht, dass ein Motherboard meinen Prozessor beschädigt.
Falls die von dir genannten Spannungen aus BIOS-Einstellungen oder hwmonitor/cpu-z stammen, dann vertraue ich ihnen nicht als echte Werte an den Prozessor. Es gibt ein GamersNexus-Video über 1,2 bis 1,4 Volt und dessen Auswirkungen auf CPUs.
Deine Frage lässt sich immer mit einem einfachen „Nein“ beantworten. Es gibt gute Gründe, die Einstellungen nicht zu verwenden, die du jetzt nutzt. Letztendlich entscheidest du selbst. Die Intel OC-Warranty kostet 50 Dollar.
Für sehr hohe Anforderungen an die Rechenleistung hätte ich lieber einen CPU mit mehr Kernen gewählt. Wenn es nur um die Taktrate geht und du damit Geld verdienen kannst, dann macht es sicherlich wirtschaftlich sinnvoll, das Risiko einzugehen.
I would simply transfer your maximum clock to the stable AVX clock, since you have an offset of 3, which means I would adjust your clock to 4.7ghz with a zero offset. We and another person found that many programs cause this offset to appear, making it unwise to attempt a higher non-AVX mode, which could increase voltage and temperatures. I would settle for either a stable 5.0 or 4.8 with no offset and stop further changes. Also, 1.35v seems too high for continuous overclocking in fixed mode; the actual voltage is likely higher than what the software reports.
1.35 is suitable for that CPU provided temperatures remain low. The recommended vcore is 1.4v and the tmax is 100c, which you definitely don’t want to approach. It’s best to keep the temperature around 70c maximum. Also, this CPU should last a long time at 1.35v—far longer than any subsequent upgrades.
Just to mention there is no public information from Intel regarding expected lifespan at certain voltages. Even gamernexus acknowledged in a recent video that "safe" voltage ranges for new hardware are essentially guesswork when data isn't released. Intel hasn’t released safe voltage guidelines for coffee lake. There are internet reports about voltage degradation near 1.4v, AVX spikes beyond set limits, and actual voltages often exceed software readings—this is why I recommend proceeding with caution. For context, my Haswell model experienced voltage degradation twice over five years at just 1.15v. If you plan to run above 1.35v, consider purchasing Intel’s tuning warranty, though it doesn’t cover delidding.
