I ended up running my 8700K at 4.9 and 1.29 volts and its rock solid..seems to be the sweet spot with a Corsair 115I setup..gaming is in the upper 50's
Great vid. I stopped at 4.8Ghz because I was a little more comfortable with the lower temps. It gave me a nice boost in gaming performance non the less.
8700k: initial overclock is 4.9ghz @ 1.26v (tried 1.3v and found it produced significant heat under load) CPU is included in a full water cooling loop with (2) 360 rads with Vardar fans running @ 50%. Still need to test this config in aida64 for stability, but no crashes so far in the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility, BFV Beta
Hi Mate I have a stable i7 8700k running at a near constant 4.9 for over 2 years and may I add playing at 4k no SHIT!:) with NO CRASHES on a two fan radiator water configuration obviously using a FANTASTIC THERMAL PASTE if you or your viewers wish for more specifications I will post if requested:) I love your video mate and thank you :):) PPS my first computer over clock was the z80 on a spectrum among others lol
I'm at 1.35V, 5.1 ghz and stable with Cinema rendering utilizing 100% cores for over 28 minutes.. Temp peaks at 80C. Corsair AIO 280mm dual fan liquid cooled, total of 5 fans. No delidding.
Good video, I think this would be the norm Intel CPU in the future (replacing the 7700K). Gaming industry is slowly going to utilize more than 4 cores.
On the Gigabyte motherboards you want to disable turbo boost on the cpu to get the most stable oc. Check out der8auer's video on Gigabytes z370 Gaming 7. he got 8700K to run at 5.2GHz. and the mem at 4200MHz.
Awesome! Planning to overclock my 8700K soon. Just wanted to ask a couple questions though. How much risk do you have to take to fry your cpu. Also, at what temperatures should you be safe in?
Try to keep your core voltage at no more than 1.35 and you should be fine as long as you have a good cooler. Try to keep your temps below 80C if you can. Let us know how it goes.
Temps are good up until 95c with no long term sacrifice. They don't start throttling down until 100c. If you have no delidded then 1.40v is the max as long as your temps are under 95 under load. Delid and you can go farther, intel specifies safe up to 1.50v for the 8700k. Majority of the motherboards come with 1.35v for stock voltage if that tells you anything.
5 GHz at 1.28 vcore, cache 48 GHz, AVX 1, Intel extreme tuning utility score 2705 at 85 deg celcius, deepcool castle 240 aio. Asus maximus hero MB with level 5 load curve. Gskill 3600 cas 15 RAM. No delid needed. I can get better performance if I use Noctua d15 cooler but I want aRGB circus instead :)
Takes me 1.355v for 5ghz. Full stable with no whea errors. Runs too hot at 95c under prime and aida with avx stuff. Decided to do 4.9 at 1.3 with ring ratio at 48. I get higher cinebench than your 5.0 with much lower temps. I think I'll call it until maybe one day I decide to delid. Dark rock pro 3 as cooler.
Hey man! I bought a h100i v2 + i7-8700k + ASRock z370 Extreme4 (made a few research and found these to be one of the best setups for overclocking safely). I only play CS:GO and render videos for my youtube csgo professional channel. While gaming, i'm sure i won't have any trouble with high temperatures, but while i render the videos, my max temp is coming to 92~95 degrees with 1.36 vcore without overclocking (still everything on default, i haven't changed anything). Do you have any ideas to help me? really scared of overclocking right now.
tiburci0 Hey. 1.36v is way too much for that CPU to be running at stock frequencies. One of two things is likely happening. 1. Your motherboard is over-volting the CPU. Try setting your own voltage to fix this. Also, make sure your BIOS is up to date on the board. 2. Your CPU is requesting too much voltage to achieve stability. Since 8700k's seem to be really good quality CPU's, I think it's unlikely that you happened to get one that needs this much voltage at stock. But it is possible unfortunately. Start with the board and see what you can do. At stock under load my chip will bounce around between about 1.15v to 1.22v. Try setting 1.22v and see if it's stable.
1.32 volts is ultimate stability for me, I can run at 1.28v and play games and do whatever but I run into small issues here and there so I like to give it that headroom. I can actually get 5.2ghz but I don't like doing it as I'm using a 240mm rad.
Overclocked my i7 8700K in my new setup today. I was able to get a stable 5.0 Ghz at only 1.28v (about 130~135 watts max power consumption on the package under max load) by adjusting some of the other settings. The temperatures were good on everything but the full load AIDA64 stress test in which the peak was 90C on one of the cores. This was a bit troubling to me since the voltage is fairly low and all my other tests produced fairly cool results. Is the AIDA64 stress test really just that intense? If you run it with all boxes (but GPU and Hard Drives) checked, let me know what kind of temps you get at 30+ minutes.
Update: I was able to get it stable at 1.26v (tried 1.25v but wasn't able to pass the Intel Burn Stress Test on max stress). I also adjusted my fan curve for something a bit more optimal. Doing so, I was able to get my avg temperatures in the 70's during the max load AIDA64 stress test with the high points being in the mid 80's. It's a bit odd watching the test, it seems like the cores rotate the stress since as one raises, the others cool and it goes through each one that way despite usage on all cores being at 100%. As a result, my averages were a lot lower than my max. 0 Throttling. Considering I doubt I'll ever be under that kind of load practically, I feel pretty good about it. ^ O ^ Oh and, I forgot to mention, I only overclocked the unicore to 4.0 GHz since I didn't think that would have as significant of an impact on anything pertinent.
Music intro was glaring, then rough transition to your much softer voice left me rushing to adjust volume twice. Just an observation. Great info; very helpful.
Thanks! That's exactly what I'm going for. Quality information quickly so you don't have to watch a 30 minute video and skip through most of it. Cheers!
Animated Anatomy NhD15 is a beast of an air cooler. I don't think there would be any issues with that at all on the 8700k. I just prefer the clean/minimalist look of the liquid coolers.
I managed to get 5GHZ with power saving features enabled and Virtualization. I do, however, have the iGPU disabled and I only used 1.33 volts on vcore. My Nocyua U-12 cooler was just a little to weak so I have gone with a NZXT AIO and temps still get high but do not throttle under full load for 10mins +
U have earned new subw I want to know how much you can push i7 8700K with asrock z370 pro4 ? (Don't blame me on Mobo choice is the cheapest I can find in my country)
I was able to 5.1 stable at 1.31 volt , I'm using the new h150i pro my temps hover around 68 under full load , no deliading required, I bough it from Amazon for MSRP .
Great video! Unfortunately, my 8700k needs more than 1,35 v to be stable at 5 GHz so I turned it down to 4,9 which still needs 1,335 Volts to be fully stable... Colling is not a problem as I have the Noctua NHD15.
Nice Video. But for those who want a 24/7 use PC or for gamming only, and do not want to delid, I think they should not OC higher that 4.8. On gamming you wont see the difference between a 4.8 and a 5.0 OC. I have mine at 4.8 with 1.26 Vcore, my average temp while gamming 4k are 70c and Max temp on stress test of 86c.(not delidded )
This is a good point. The difference between 4.8 and 5.0 will not be anything significant. There is generally a pretty big increase in the voltage required to obtain stability with those extra 200Mhz to hit 5.0. 4.8 is definitely a more comfortable everyday overclock.
Zeniax you could start with 4.8GHz around 1.3v. This will likely be more than enough so run some stress tests then if it's stable, drop the voltage and retest. Keep doing this until you find the lowest stable vcore value. Remember to monitor your temps at the same time.
ECPU thanks for the quick reply, one more question. 4.8 purely for gaming should be fine and going to 5.0 shouldn’t make a big difference in terms of gaming performance right? I’m ordering the rest of my parts at the end of this month and the cooler will be a kraken x62 240mil radiator
Leyrinx Hey. I would recommend asking any questions you have right on here. That way everyone can help... perhaps someone will even have the same board as you that could offer some advice as well. Cheers.
Well i started with a 1.28 vcore like the gigabyte guide said and won't even boot. Now at 1.35 on 5ghz and still won't boot so I'm guessing 5ghz is going to be impossible for me?
ARINDOL PAUL it really comes down to your temperatures. As long as you're keeping the CPU cool under everyday use then you should be fine. 5ghz is a really nice OC on the 8700k. If you're not comfortable with your temps or are concerned with chip longevity, reducing the frequency a bit will decrease the voltage required and won't have a big impact on performance.
as long as your temps are not reaching high 90's your ok if it is then you wont notice the difference if your dial it down to 4.9 or 4.8ghz and get better temps
Have you delidded your cpu? I’ve seen some OC videos where temps went to 95 degrees celcius at 5.0GHz. Should i buy this if im not planning to delid? I will pair it up with a corsair h110i v2 cooler.
Hey. The CPU is not delidded and is being cooled with a H105 with push/pull fans. I'm working on a video right now that will show the performance of the H100i V2 and H105. I would recommend getting this CPU no matter what... No need to delid unless you're going to try overclocking to the absolute maximum that is possible. You should do just fine with the H110.
Since many if not all AIOs in my country are either unavailable or really expensive, Im buying mine in Europe while on vacations. That means that if something goes wrong RMA is almost impossible. Therefore I started considering high end tower cooling, mainly Noctua nh d15/d14/d14s. Will I obtain similar performance or are AIOs reliable enough to not worry about them failing?
The high-end Noctua air coolers perform quite well, but I don't think reliability should be a reason not to use an AIO. I've been using AIO's for many years in many different systems and have never had one fail yet.
ECPU Thanks for the reply. I’m inclined to go with the H115i for aesthetic purposes and also because it performs slightly better. Do you have any experience with it?
Tomas Lombardini I haven't used the H115 but based on the performance of the H100i and H105 it will definitely be a good cooler for the 8700k. Keep in mind it uses 140mm fans so make sure you have the room in your case. I really don't think you can go wrong with the H115.
I got mine to 5.15ghz at 1.32v but I run at 5ghz at 1.27v....I upped the bclk to 106 w/47 multiplier(I think it was 47). You need to underclock the memory but you shouldn't need as many volts that way
It's the z370 Gaming 5. Very nice board and I would definitely recommend it. I haven't had the opportunity to play around with the ultra gaming board but I've read some reviews and it sounds like a solid choice.
Choosing the H115i would be a better choice i get 5.2 GHz at 1.4Vcore and the temps are not hitting above 75 in cpu z stress test ~ 30 minutes (Mobo: MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon)
I have followed like every possible overclocking step for the i7-8800k but no matter what I do the motherboard (ASUS Z370 TUF Gaming Plus) will discard my manual voltage override and go waay higher. All cores synced running at 4.7ghz will have the voltage go up as high as 1.37 volts at times, and at stock (with no overclocking except for using XMP profile) it barely stays under 1.3 volts. Am I just unlucky with my particular CPU? Is there an important setting I'm missing? *scratching head*. Using a 240mm AIO so I should at least be able to push the system a LITTLE bit, one might think.
Filipe Martins Hey. Disabling the C-States is just to remove one more variable from the equation to help find max stable OC faster. You can definitely leave these settings on when overclocking or re-enable them once you've found your max OC.
Filiboy :D Hey. It's hard to say any one cooler is the absolute best, but I generally like the performance and features of the Corsair H100i V2 for the price point. And for air coolers, I like the Noctua NH-D15. There are other coolers out there that might be better, but these are my picks for a decent overclock to 5GHz without building a crazy custom water loop.
8700K 4.7Ghz at 1.25v (stable 4.7ghz oc @ 1.25v or 1.3v) which one would u recommend on air cpu cooler like Hyper 212 x (saftey purpose at least 12hrs)
I reached 5ghz @ 1.232V, tested for 20 hours with prime V26.6 smallest FTTS, not sure if i'm doing something wrong here but how come i'm able to do it with such low voltage?
Hey. You are probably already close to the limits of your CPU for a safe every day overclock and I doubt you would gain much in terms of noticeable performance if you go full manual. However, taking over full control might allow you to obtain a more efficient overclock by manually fine tuning the voltages. Personally, if it were my chip, I'd try it because I like playing around with overclocking lol.
I don't know why I did all the steps I have exact same motherboard the Aorus gaming 5 or is yours the gaming 7? For some reason I did everything you did and it crashes then I thought I was going to burn something freaked out lol went down to 4.9 overclock bam crashes again. So I undid everything and now it's at 4.8 working fine I suck at overclocking can't even overclock my new 1070 FML. Maybe you can help me and explain why it didn't work I don't understand I spent so much money on my rig and I can't even overclock it's so depressing.
I have to Correct him by hes comment every CPU going to be a little bit different same type of CPU can have a huge different in the voltage temp 5.1ghz on 1.31V and 1.42 to have stable 48ghz to keep 1.42 you also have to delid it to keep it safely
Never mind this. I solved it. I received an 8700 inside of my 8700k box, I did not buy this used, I bought it from a local store and was factory sealed. Nothing cosmetically could of hinted that it was an 8700 because on my box it says it’s an 8700k and on the CPU it says as well that it is an 8700k. Not until I opened up my task manager and looked at the pc specs, then I found out that it was an 8700 @ 3.2 GHz. So I guess I’ll just have to exchange mine for a new one.
That system sounds nice. The clock speed isn't so much the issue; it's the voltage. If 5GHz on your chip is stable with a decent voltage, it should be perfectly fine. However, if you happen to have a chip that requires high voltage to hit 5GHz, you may want to scale it back. If I had to guess, I would say you should be fine though. Most 8700K's can hit 5GHz without sky-high voltages. Just remember to keep an eye on your temperatures.
Ok I'm confused. I have asus prime z 370-a with i7 8700k . downloaded cpu z . It's 5ghz . and stable. My question is ez tune has it 1.41v not runing stress test and 1.344v under load why does it go down under load. And if it lowers it to 1.344v and is stable while runing. Would it be better to leave it alone or manually set it to be 1.344 all the time and not 1.42 while not under load?
You obviously know what you're doing, which is good, but you didn't really explain what any of these setting actually are, or how we should go about fine tuning them ourselves (the voltage for example). You say not to just copy your settings but without understanding what these settings do and how to adjust them ourselves, all we can do is copy your settings. If you make more videos, consider explaining why you're adjusting the settings you are, and how we should go about adjusting ours if we don't get the same results as you.
90C is definitely the highest you would ever want to run your CPU in my opinion. If it's regularly hitting that temp I would either decrease the overclock or upgrade the cooling solution.
Adam wu that sounds much better . You could get those temps down even further at that voltage if you switch to a decent water cooler. But if the max you ever hit under full load is 81, that sounds pretty good.
I'm running the i7 8700k on this motherboard : MSI H310m Pro VDH The problem is that there's no option on the motherboard available to me in the overclocking settings to adjust the Vcore or the core voltage , I've searched everything and it doesn't give me that option. Also : when adjusting the CPU ratio , It doesn't let me make it over 47 , when I type 48 it automatically brings it back to 47. Not only that , but when I confirm the 47 and reboot , my clockspeed is only at 4.3 ghz and never goes beyond that.. please help me
This reply is a day late and a dollar short but I think you need a z-type motherboard to overclock the i7-8700k. Also your are probably experiencing a built in boost which can take your CPU up to 4.7 ghz but only on one core, 4.3 ghz on multiple cores. Hope this helps.
Great video ,I see that everyone uses XMP ,I have 32 GB gskill rgb 3000 Mhz but every time I turn on XMP the pc never load in to windows ,did I do something wrong ? I'm running 2x 2080 ti LXR8, my PSU is HX I corsair 1200 ,my 8086k is @ 5.2 with 1.37 v please help XMP is acting up on me
It probably won't require that much voltage for a stable 4.7. Since CPU's are not created equal, it's not really possible to know for sure though. Overclocking is an iterative process. Try 4.7 at 1.30v and test stability, then bump the voltage down a bit until you find the lowest voltage that will keep the chip stable.

Yeah you can get the same and sometimes better temps with air vs aio. Depending on case and air flow setup. But most do it for looks :)
Thank you!

My Nocyua U-12 cooler was just a little to weak so I have gone with a NZXT AIO and temps still get high but do not throttle under full load for 10mins +
My 8700k is at 4.7 GHz at 1.280v. It stays in between 50 to 80 degrees Celsius while gaming.
U have earned new subw
I want to know how much you can push i7 8700K with asrock z370 pro4 ?
(Don't blame me on Mobo choice is the cheapest I can find in my country)
I was able to 5.1 stable at 1.31 volt , I'm using the new h150i pro my temps hover around 68 under full load , no deliading required, I bough it from Amazon for MSRP .
Nice!! The new corsair coolers are awesome. Nice job on the overclock.
Great video! Unfortunately, my 8700k needs more than 1,35 v to be stable at 5 GHz so I turned it down to 4,9 which still needs 1,335 Volts to be fully stable... Colling is not a problem as I have the Noctua NHD15.
Nothing wrong with 4.9 at all. There wouldn't be any noticeable difference from 4.9 to 5ghz anyways. Nice cooler by the way. I love the NHD15.
got mine to 5ghz with 1.34v as well without delidding. i hit around 50-55 degree while playing pubg and around 80-86 degree on cinebench.
ssj Gee Nice job!! This CPU is amazing at 5GHz.
Deserves more subs!
Nice Video. But for those who want a 24/7 use PC or for gamming only, and do not want to delid, I think they should not OC higher that 4.8. On gamming you wont see the difference between a 4.8 and a 5.0 OC. I have mine at 4.8 with 1.26 Vcore, my average temp while gamming 4k are 70c and Max temp on stress test of 86c.(not delidded )
This is a good point. The difference between 4.8 and 5.0 will not be anything significant. There is generally a pretty big increase in the voltage required to obtain stability with those extra 200Mhz to hit 5.0. 4.8 is definitely a more comfortable everyday overclock.
absolutely right, for me .. my sweetspot is at 4.9ghz 1.35v with 83c max
How much voltage should I put for 4.7 or 4.8 as a basic place to start?
Zeniax you could start with 4.8GHz around 1.3v. This will likely be more than enough so run some stress tests then if it's stable, drop the voltage and retest. Keep doing this until you find the lowest stable vcore value. Remember to monitor your temps at the same time.
ECPU thanks for the quick reply, one more question.
4.8 purely for gaming should be fine and going to 5.0 shouldn’t make a big difference in terms of gaming performance right?
I’m ordering the rest of my parts at the end of this month and the cooler will be a kraken x62 240mil radiator
2:20 ! CPU Clock Ratio can't raise above 46 ?
CPU: i7 8700K @ 3.20 GHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z370P D3-CF
Hello! What are the case fans you are using?
Nemanja Zivkovic Hey. They are Corsair SP 120 RGB fans.
Thanks for the heart
Leyrinx Hey. I would recommend asking any questions you have right on here. That way everyone can help... perhaps someone will even have the same board as you that could offer some advice as well. Cheers.
I got a stable low temp setup on Asus Rog strix z370-e, 8700k delidded and @ 5.2 with 1.36v avx ratio offset 2x, max hi temp 71 under prime95 test.
monkas
your vedio is freaking good
ARINDOL PAUL thanks! There's more coming too ;)
I plan to run the exact same CPU, Cooler, and motherboard...wish me luck!
Good Luck! Let us know how it goes.
Well i started with a 1.28 vcore like the gigabyte guide said and won't even boot. Now at 1.35 on 5ghz and still won't boot so I'm guessing 5ghz is going to be impossible for me?
plz tell me if 5.0ghz is sweet for daily use like gaming and editing and other stressful works?
ARINDOL PAUL it really comes down to your temperatures. As long as you're keeping the CPU cool under everyday use then you should be fine. 5ghz is a really nice OC on the 8700k. If you're not comfortable with your temps or are concerned with chip longevity, reducing the frequency a bit will decrease the voltage required and won't have a big impact on performance.
tnx for ur reply. However I haven't senn the temps going above 79c with my fractal design 360mm rad.is it ok in all way?
as long as your temps are not reaching high 90's your ok if it is then you wont notice the difference if your dial it down to 4.9 or 4.8ghz and get better temps
I had to go to 1.4+ to get 5ghz. At 100% load on Cinebench with a NHD 15 I still hover at 82 deg. Celsius. And that's after deliding.
Have you delidded your cpu? I’ve seen some OC videos where temps went to 95 degrees celcius at 5.0GHz. Should i buy this if im not planning to delid? I will pair it up with a corsair h110i v2 cooler.
Hey. The CPU is not delidded and is being cooled with a H105 with push/pull fans. I'm working on a video right now that will show the performance of the H100i V2 and H105. I would recommend getting this CPU no matter what... No need to delid unless you're going to try overclocking to the absolute maximum that is possible. You should do just fine with the H110.
ECPU Thanks for the info and the quick reply. Subbed
agree, no need to delid the CPU for daily use
+Subhan Yushan you have to Delia for 5 ghz
+Subhan Yushan you have to Delid for 5 ghz
Is an overclocked i5 8600k better or worse than an overclocked i7 8700k in terms of gaming?
What is your power supply?
Hey. It was the EVGA Supernova 750: amzn.to/2Rs7gHC
Since many if not all AIOs in my country are either unavailable or really expensive, Im buying mine in Europe while on vacations. That means that if something goes wrong RMA is almost impossible. Therefore I started considering high end tower cooling, mainly Noctua nh d15/d14/d14s.
Will I obtain similar performance or are AIOs reliable enough to not worry about them failing?
The high-end Noctua air coolers perform quite well, but I don't think reliability should be a reason not to use an AIO. I've been using AIO's for many years in many different systems and have never had one fail yet.
ECPU Thanks for the reply. I’m inclined to go with the H115i for aesthetic purposes and also because it performs slightly better. Do you have any experience with it?
Tomas Lombardini I haven't used the H115 but based on the performance of the H100i and H105 it will definitely be a good cooler for the 8700k. Keep in mind it uses 140mm fans so make sure you have the room in your case. I really don't think you can go wrong with the H115.
ECPU Excellent. I’m going to use an S340 Elite so no problem unless I want a push/pull on the rad which I don’t.
Hey, im testing my stability test via prime95 v29.8 build 3 Smallest FFTs 1st option. Is it good for stability test?
How big is your table?
I got mine to 5.15ghz at 1.32v but I run at 5ghz at 1.27v....I upped the bclk to 106 w/47 multiplier(I think it was 47). You need to underclock the memory but you shouldn't need as many volts that way
which gigabyte z370 are you using ? I wanna buy the ultra gaming but i dont know if its gonna allow me to overclock to 5.0Ghz
It's the z370 Gaming 5. Very nice board and I would definitely recommend it. I haven't had the opportunity to play around with the ultra gaming board but I've read some reviews and it sounds like a solid choice.
Who is here to see how to push your 8700k for cyberpunk ;-)?
Choosing the H115i would be a better choice i get 5.2 GHz at 1.4Vcore and the temps are not hitting above 75 in cpu z stress test ~ 30 minutes (Mobo: MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon)
Not delidded btw
What about gaming
never above 80c
+Ömer Pesket you just got lucky with your chip. Not everybody's chip will do that
LOUDER!
I have followed like every possible overclocking step for the i7-8800k but no matter what I do the motherboard (ASUS Z370 TUF Gaming Plus) will discard my manual voltage override and go waay higher. All cores synced running at 4.7ghz will have the voltage go up as high as 1.37 volts at times, and at stock (with no overclocking except for using XMP profile) it barely stays under 1.3 volts. Am I just unlucky with my particular CPU? Is there an important setting I'm missing? *scratching head*. Using a 240mm AIO so I should at least be able to push the system a LITTLE bit, one might think.
great video
Thanks!
what the watercooler you used?
Corsair H105
Btw are we really forced to disable the efficiency C states? What happens if we don't? Thanks! Newbie here!! :)
Filipe Martins Hey. Disabling the C-States is just to remove one more variable from the equation to help find max stable OC faster. You can definitely leave these settings on when overclocking or re-enable them once you've found your max OC.
Can you please answer what the best cooler for overclocking i7 8700 to 5ghz?
Filiboy :D Hey. It's hard to say any one cooler is the absolute best, but I generally like the performance and features of the Corsair H100i V2 for the price point. And for air coolers, I like the Noctua NH-D15. There are other coolers out there that might be better, but these are my picks for a decent overclock to 5GHz without building a crazy custom water loop.
so i should be fine with the H115i pro?
8700K 4.7Ghz at 1.25v
(stable 4.7ghz oc @ 1.25v or 1.3v) which one would u recommend on air cpu cooler like Hyper 212 x (saftey purpose at least 12hrs)
What aio did u use ?
DeFaux it was a Corsair H105.
I reached 5ghz @ 1.232V, tested for 20 hours with prime V26.6 smallest FTTS, not sure if i'm doing something wrong here but how come i'm able to do it with such low voltage?
I had my 8600K clock to 4.9 Ghz with Asus Ai tweak only. Should i go into advance manual setting and push it to limits?
Hey. You are probably already close to the limits of your CPU for a safe every day overclock and I doubt you would gain much in terms of noticeable performance if you go full manual. However, taking over full control might allow you to obtain a more efficient overclock by manually fine tuning the voltages. Personally, if it were my chip, I'd try it because I like playing around with overclocking lol.
I don't know why I did all the steps I have exact same motherboard the Aorus gaming 5 or is yours the gaming 7? For some reason I did everything you did and it crashes then I thought I was going to burn something freaked out lol went down to 4.9 overclock bam crashes again. So I undid everything and now it's at 4.8 working fine I suck at overclocking can't even overclock my new 1070 FML. Maybe you can help me and explain why it didn't work I don't understand I spent so much money on my rig and I can't even overclock it's so depressing.
I have to Correct him by hes comment every CPU going to be a little bit different same type of CPU can have a huge different in the voltage temp 5.1ghz on 1.31V and 1.42 to have stable 48ghz to keep 1.42 you also have to delid it to keep it safely
I have the exact same motherboard and it won’t let me go past 4.6 ghz. I type in “50” and when I press enter, it just sets it back to auto.
Never mind this. I solved it. I received an 8700 inside of my 8700k box, I did not buy this used, I bought it from a local store and was factory sealed. Nothing cosmetically could of hinted that it was an 8700 because on my box it says it’s an 8700k and on the CPU it says as well that it is an 8700k. Not until I opened up my task manager and looked at the pc specs, then I found out that it was an 8700 @ 3.2 GHz. So I guess I’ll just have to exchange mine for a new one.
so i run a 17 8700k 1080tiASRock Z370M and a NZXT Kraken X52 do you think 5.0hz is too much for my cooling and motherboard or will it be fine
That system sounds nice. The clock speed isn't so much the issue; it's the voltage. If 5GHz on your chip is stable with a decent voltage, it should be perfectly fine. However, if you happen to have a chip that requires high voltage to hit 5GHz, you may want to scale it back. If I had to guess, I would say you should be fine though. Most 8700K's can hit 5GHz without sky-high voltages. Just remember to keep an eye on your temperatures.
ECPU thx and how do you only have 700 subs
i hit 5.0 ghz on 1.320 volts solid on asus z370 tuf plus board
Marcello nice job!
Ive been looking for some quality oc video guide. I found it
Ok I'm confused. I have asus prime z 370-a with i7 8700k . downloaded cpu z . It's 5ghz . and stable. My question is ez tune has it 1.41v not runing stress test and 1.344v under load why does it go down under load. And if it lowers it to 1.344v and is stable while runing. Would it be better to leave it alone or manually set it to be 1.344 all the time and not 1.42 while not under load?
You obviously know what you're doing, which is good, but you didn't really explain what any of these setting actually are, or how we should go about fine tuning them ourselves (the voltage for example).
You say not to just copy your settings but without understanding what these settings do and how to adjust them ourselves, all we can do is copy your settings.
If you make more videos, consider explaining why you're adjusting the settings you are, and how we should go about adjusting ours if we don't get the same results as you.
I think if you were to go to a higher res like 4K you'd see more of a difference in FPS from the stock vs OC
How did u change that to turbo? I mean which key
Hey. Use the page up & down keys.
@@ECPUz thanks.!
im getting 90c temperature. Should I worry about that? I’m using air coolar thank you
90C is definitely the highest you would ever want to run your CPU in my opinion. If it's regularly hitting that temp I would either decrease the overclock or upgrade the cooling solution.
Thank you for quick reply. I gave decrease cpu voltage from your suggested value to 1.26V and its now hitting 81C as highest value. Guess that’s ok.
Adam wu that sounds much better . You could get those temps down even further at that voltage if you switch to a decent water cooler. But if the max you ever hit under full load is 81, that sounds pretty good.
Yeah. Under full load. Should be good. 😀 I’m using a big nocturnal d15
Hello, Give you an update. After 1080 GPU been installed, my cpu temperature hits 86. Probally GPU heat transferred to mobo and cpu
Any tips on how to manual edit the timings?
I'm running the i7 8700k on this motherboard : MSI H310m Pro VDH
The problem is that there's no option on the motherboard available to me in the overclocking settings to adjust the Vcore or the core voltage , I've searched everything and it doesn't give me that option.
Also : when adjusting the CPU ratio , It doesn't let me make it over 47 , when I type 48 it automatically brings it back to 47. Not only that , but when I confirm the 47 and reboot , my clockspeed is only at 4.3 ghz and never goes beyond that.. please help me
This reply is a day late and a dollar short but I think you need a z-type motherboard to overclock the i7-8700k. Also your are probably experiencing a built in boost which can take your CPU up to 4.7 ghz but only on one core, 4.3 ghz on multiple cores. Hope this helps.
I have the Corsair h100i v2, should I try to get to 5.0ghz ???
I would say yes! ruclips.net/video/n-mivsjPnTs/видео.html
Why not talk about avx?
Using fully watercool pc and cpu still reach above 80c at stock. Cant find the reason
1.32volts for 5gig but lucky with temps as it never goes any higher than around 50--54c in games so could take it further but is there any need :)
Nice work!
What is your cooling solution?
I am using OcUK Tech Labs 240mm AIO Liquid CPU Cooler.
Great video ,I see that everyone uses XMP ,I have 32 GB gskill rgb 3000 Mhz but every time I turn on XMP the pc never load in to windows ,did I do something wrong ? I'm running 2x 2080 ti LXR8, my PSU is HX I corsair 1200 ,my 8086k is @ 5.2 with 1.37 v please help XMP is acting up on me
Was able to reach 4.9 Ghz at 1.320 volts stability.
Blitz26Zone21 1.35 volts is still safe so you could overclock higher if you want
Cinebench and gaming tests it's not what you call "rock solid"! I bet it will not overcome one night under Prime95's "Small FFTs" stress test.
What if I Overclocked Mine At 4.7Ghz What Voltage Do I Set? Can 1.34 Voltage Do It?
It probably won't require that much voltage for a stable 4.7. Since CPU's are not created equal, it's not really possible to know for sure though. Overclocking is an iterative process. Try 4.7 at 1.30v and test stability, then bump the voltage down a bit until you find the lowest voltage that will keep the chip stable.
my overclock feature is turned off I can't access it in bios
I've done this thrice now and it keeps resetting back to default when I get back into windows
Rip my ears
