Im Cano from the swamp monkeys and im showing you a step by step guide on overclocking intel's 8th Gen Coffee Lake 8700k CPU on a Asus Strix z370e motherboard.
Finally someone who explains all the shit to turn off in order to start overclocking properly.... ALL I WANTED WAS CONTROL OF MY VOLTAGES.... finally im just relieved great vid very usefull information
Thank you Lance! I was only able to squeeze out 4.7GHz @ 1.25volts with my CPU, but it was good learning experience as this being my first OC. Appreciate the tutorial!
Thanks for the guide. So far your settings worked perfectly for me with my 8700k @ 5.0Ghz 1.35v. I ran Prime 95 for an hour and did not go over 85c or crash. Im gonna stress test all night with RealBench to confirm stability.
Great simple guide. To those doing OC it’s a Russian silicon roulette sorta deal on what your cpu can achieve. Not all will be able to 5ghz or even more. Maybe stuck between 4.5-4.9. Never know and do incremental step ups in core and voltage. Benchmark and see if it’s stable (doesn’t crash w/blue screen then restarts).
You are a good and wonderful man. I was breaking the processor in the wrong way, thanks to God. Then you are the solution. It was in the BIOS settings. The choices you made before the break made the break good for me. شكرا لك 🇸🇦⚘
Really appreciate the video/walk through, man. I have the same setup, and it helped immensely. Any update to your OC? I'm running 5.1GHz at 1.370v without issue so far. Did you adjust anything? Thanks again
Hey Buddy. Nice tutorial. I've got one question though, might not have much importance, too, but I'm curious: My z370E has Bios Version 3005 as the latest I have found on Asus website. Howcome your Bios Version is 5430? Couldn't find any such version for this motherboard. What am I missing?
I’m Not sure I made this video when the mother board and cpu were first released so it might be the bios that came from the factory with it. It might not be available from the support bios downloads.
Load Line Calibration is not what he says here, it gets rid of voltage spikes and drops and smoothens them out so your CPU does not have any large voltage spikes that lower its lifespan. The HIGHER you set it, the LESS it gets rid of spikes, I would not personally set it that high...
Nice video . I have asus prime z 370a and I want to ask a question. I did overclock my cpu like this video. I log in windows open CPUZ I see 5ghz. I get in my bios I go CPU cores I see 5ghz on each core I also see the XMP RPOFILE on 3200 speed but on the top site I see my normal CPU speed 3.7. Is that normal ? I got confused. Also in the menu of bios when I go in I see 3700ghz. Thank you
Hey! After seeing your video, I wanted to confirm about the voltage setup; I have 280mm Kraken x62 AIO liquid cooler. Any good recommendation for voltage?
Is it possible to enhance Intel's Turbo Boost by highering the power limits? Will this result in higher clocks WITHOUT overclocking it manualy? At 5:12 you go to "CPU Power Management" - these settings are the settings I mean to get higher Turbo clocks...
I have the same exact as you do, 8700k, Corsair h100i, asus strix z370e, but can you name all the programs you use, I couldnt hear very well, such as the one you are using to monitor the cpu, also, i want to overclock strictly for gaming, do you think its worth doing, and what a GHz should i try?
lol one more not, when you go into bios it says you have a cpu opt fan, i dont think it says that for me, just cpu fan, though i have a wtercooled, like i said corsair h100i v2
I use hwmonitor to see temps and voltages. Prime95 26.6 version, occt, intel burn test, blender you can use to stress the cpu. I would NOT use ez tuner just go in the bios to set you overclock. And yes you should have that pwm opt
Hi Lance, I am overclocking my i7-8700K on an ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-E with Corsair Vengeance 2 x 8GB 3200MHz C14. What is the best setting for that please?
Thanks for a straight for video on a Asus based motherboard been looking for one. Going to attempt 5ghz on my setup with 280 aio watercooler. What’s a good base voltage to start at for 5ghz?
Lance West okay cool will do hopefully I can hit without delid. I tried the auto tune profile and it put the chip at 5.1 with 1.45v and I was thermal throttling at 100c... I undid that real quick
Please do an update video talking about the ram oc and cpu oc together how its unstable and there is a new bios version that came out... I cant get the cpu to oc with the xmp profile loaded!?
Thanks for your video. I have the Asus Maxiumus X Hero board with 8700k. Updated to latest bios, however when I try to load XMP for memory settings it won't boot. Any ideas? Made sure I'm in the correct dim slots for 2 sticks of memory. Also the memory I have is on the QVL list: Corsair Dominator Platinum Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 15-17-17-35. Thanks so much!
Hi. First off, thank you for this guide! I'm new to overclocking. I have 8700k with Macho rev. b air cooler and asus prime z370-a. No delid. At this point i'd like to have at least 4.7ghz clock. 4.8 if possible. My main question is: Is it ok to copy all of your settings, except the clock speed and voltages of course. If not, what should i do differently? I already tested this a little with 4.7ghz clock and 1.19v and one thing i noticed was, that i couldn't monitor cpu voltages in HWmonitor after the tweak. Any idea why? I did not dare to do any serious torture tests but i did a video rendering test with Davinci Resolve and got temperatures around ~75c, sometimes peaking to 80c. I switched back to optimized defaults for now, but i'd like to try again with better understanding.
Thank you for the answer! Should i be worried of the AVX offset being at zero? Is the voltage still adaptive or should i make it adaptive somehow after i find the suitable voltage for me?
sledgehammer1570 at 5ghz you should need to set a AVX and no you do not want voltage at adaptive. You want steady voltage with overclocking any fluctuation in voltage and cause it to be in unstable
I noticed that when i power down my computer completely overnight and when i start it, it boots for a second, shuts down and after couple second boots up fine by itself. It didn't notice that before oc'ing. I'm curious does your asus motherboard act like this or is it something i should worry about?
Running the same oc on my mine. i7-8700K (oc 5.1ghz) on asus rog strix Z370-E with Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB 3200MHz C16 and cooler master masterliquid 240l. @ idle its 36c, underload its about 80-85c. haven't seen what it is, in an Australian summer.
I have the same cup and motherboard and new to overclocking and I was wondering how to set the clock see to 4.5 gz and tips? also how do it make it where windows dose crash?? Lol I'm so new!!
TheVikas TheVikas in advance view select the AI Tweaker tap like in the video do everything I do in the video except when you when sync all cores and change core ratio limit to 4.5 ghz and change vcore to a lot lower. You should use set it to 5ghz if u have a good cooler most cpus can hit 5ghz easy. And you download prime95 26.6 version to stress the cpu.
Hey Cano, I followed your tutorial but I'm hitting 100C on several cores while I encode on Adobe Premiere. System is stable though, I'm running a tower cooler master with fresh thermal paste. Should I be worried? Here is a screenshot from HW Monitor: i.imgur.com/BsNrqEY.jpg Should I loewer the voltage or underclock to 4900MHz?
just tried 5.0 @ 1.35 and crashed at Blender, Cinebench score was 1595 now I'm trying 4.9 @ 1.350 just scored a 1563 in Cinebench, gonna try Blender temps are already hitting the low 90s, high 80s so far it's doing better than @ 5ghz, max temp currently is 95 damn didn't realize blender was heavy, but the bmw is almost done haha .... temps just hit 97, obviously gonna have to drop to 4.8 and try again render finished, max temp 99, gonna try 4.8@1.350 mind you, I have a not delided 8700k, 2x8Gb 3466 but i am using NT-H1 compound I have a feeling 4.7 is gonna be it for me, but maybe I can get 4.8 at the temps I want, lower 80s ofcourse not gonna go pass 1.350 until I get this cpu delided, just saving to get Dr.Delid Pro and some metalic compoud haha Cinebench High 80s low 90 score 1513, gonna render the bmw now, already it hits high 80s, current max 93, i'm pretty confident this isn't gonna crash, cause 4.9 didn't lol so we're now at low 90s, maxed at 96, currently idle in high 40s, gonna drop to 4.7 like everyone does and mostly suggests, and see what happens there, running cinebench now and temps hit high 80s, score is now 1472, better than my stocks best @ 1399 so i'll take it as for blender, temps are in the high 80s, and low 90s, but it's stable, lol, just realized that I should have dropped volts instead of down clocking, now i'm gonna test where it didn't crash, and just lower the volts, I'll update as soon as i get what I ideally think i want lol.
Just did 4.9@1.300 and my Cinebench score is 1549 and hit low 80s, looking good so far, Blender showed signs of crashing, temps in high 80s, max 92, gonna try 4.8@1.3 next, 1.29 rather, So cine got 1433 in low 80s max 84, doing blender now and still low 80s, already hitting high 80s, shows signs of crashing, guess I'm gonna drop to 4.7 @ 1.28, wanna see how that works. Btw, the render was able to finish but not acceptable. Gotta a score of 1491, high 70s max 83 on cinebench. I'm guessing blender is gonna be low 80s. Btw I have a Cooler Master ML240L RGB AIO. I'm not sure if this "signs of crashing" are normal or not, like, it's rendering the BMW right, I move my mouse until it stops, like lags, along with rendering the BMW, so, idk. The temps are in the high 80s which seems fine I guess, I can always up to volts. So after rendering, took 4:55.83, got a max of 87. Guess it's time to move on to aida, or prime, or just stress test, or gonna play a game. I'm thinking fortnite lol
What other kind of video would y’all like to see? would you want to see if a AMDFX 8120 CPU bottlenecks a GTX 1060? Or benchmark my aorus gtx 1080ti extreme waterblock edition?
Need some help. Have a asus z370 e with a 8700k. I'm hitting 5 ghz at 1.392 volts. Loadline is 6, everything else is the same as this video. It was very stable before the july 2018 bios update, but now its crashing on real bench. Any ideas?
After every bios update, you will have to redo the entire OC process as some updates can be beneficial for you (less voltages needed on cpu/ram/nb etc) and some updates won't be. So perhaps you need to increase a voltage somewhere, or reduce it.
i did the exact same thing, got stuck on loading screen for windows. so i set my voltage to 4.1 and he started. then i started a blend test with prime 95 and got bluescreen after about 10 seconds
Yours is delidded ...what setting should I change? thanks btw..i have cooler master masterliquid 240..would that be ok? and I have updated BIOS 0605 (dec. 15)
Does anybody know if i want to keep everything at stock settings without the v core voltage automatically going up. What I must do in bios to achieve this? Cpu used is i7 8700k (stock 3,7ghz turbo at 4,7ghz) because I heard on asus motherboard that the default is auto for v core so it will go up and up. Which setting I must use? Thanks!
Hey, i did everything u said, exactly how u did it, but whenever i overclock mines to 4.900ghz it only goes 4.895ghz. I tried changing the voltage, play around with it still same, any suggestion?
Cant do 5.0 what so ever on my chip but 4.9 at 1.365v is stable and cool. Temps averaged out 60c to about 75c using a corsair h100i with stock fans swapped to noctua nf-f12
I have the same MB and same CPU...what voltage would I use for a 4.5 GHz clock? My cooler is the H100i v2. I don't want to go with a crazy oc because I'm new to this.
Asus 1080 ti 11gb OC edition with z370 e i78700k 16 gb of gskill 3000mhz ram and x62 kraken liquid cooling. For some reason I get unstable heat temps it fluctuates alot. So I reapplied thermal paste and reseated the fan positions. Still climbing over 85 when running pubg... but on idle fluctuating between 35 and 60 i have never ocd what do I do to cool this thing down??..I don't know how to fix voltage or mess with any of that.. I did update the bios to the most recent one that came out on 4/20/2018 though
hey! thanks for posting this. I am super new to OCing. I have the same MOBO and CPU, with h100iv2 and 2400 RAM. will these settings work with this? that damn ez tune took my vcore to 1.45 screw that
Yes these settings turn off all the automatic voltage controls, at least it did on mine.... i was the same as you VID's were auto adjusting to 1.5v in some cases fianlly i can control the voltages id rather it just crash the PC than fry my chip throwing 1.5 volts at it to "stablize"...
I dont know how to download the motherboard bios for this motherboard, I have the same specs as in this video. can someone link the download for windows 10 or help me please. @lance west
@@whatsupbra43 no when I reset it came back. Everything was running at 100% and it was only at running at like 80 mHz or something like less than a gigahertz
I updated my bios to 3004 I believe which was like a year ago. That's the newest one I found and then I did every single step you told me to do and it wouldn't let me change those numbers. It kept switching it to 8 I ran the like auto configuration set up thing and then went back and try to change the numbers and it let me but everything else was different so it didn't work. I had to reset and go with the auto configure it ration set to extreme
Damn your lucky i got 5.1 fine but 5.2 is slightly unstable temps are low tho my temps are like 74 f to around 85 u der load thatd only like 30 c i was under the understanding they can go up to 85 c
Hello, this video was soo helpful thank you, but i just want to clear my doubt at 5ghz 1.30/1.35 my cpu heat is going up to 90+ degree's im using Thermal take 360mm Floe Riing rgb AIO cooler and Kingping KPX Paste.and thermaltake view 71 ARGB cabinet. so i'm currently running at 4.7Ghz on all 6 cores @ 1.20V max temps on stress test 70c
I’m pretty sure a custom loop wouldn’t help especially since you already have a 360m rad on the cpu. The heat from the crappy intel thermal paste under the heat spreader isn’t transferring the heat from the die efficient enough. I’m pretty sure that when you delid and go liquid metal you drop 10-20 degrees on your Aio. The intel paste was crap that’s why they Solder the IHS now but still isn’t as cool as running liquid metal on the die. Look into a delid kit they way less expensive than a custom loop plus is really not that hard to do. There isn’t any resistors on the cpu so you don’t have really worry about damaging the chip.
@@whatsupbra43 UPDATE! i managed to run at 5ghz @ 1.26V on stress test only 1 core was hitting 88c and rest were 80 81 83 85, while gaming doesn't exceed 77-75c so far it's running solid and the temps are on higher side maybe cause my AIO is 3+ years old i bought this cpu and cooler in 2017 and i decided to overclock it now.
Appreciate ur instant reply. Very soon i'll receive my new rig and i was wondering if z370-e & 8700k works well with a bequit shadow rock slim which i already have or do I have to get an AIO LC
idk why but i have same cpu and motherboard and i got 90 ºC at 4700hz im very sad for it :( i have one water cooling kraken x62... if you can help me i will thank u so much. Thnks and nice video!
@KAOS NATION You know if it works when you do ALL stability tests recommended out there (aida, prime, occt, etc). If I cant pass everything then system isnt stable. Rock solid stability all day, every day
Yes you should be fine just watch temps. Since every cpu is different and your cpu is stable at that frequency and voltage then you can either up the frequency to get a high oc or drop the voltage until it you fine the lowest stable voltage if you just want to stay at 5ghz
This is the most helpful video on 8700k OC I could find, thank you!
I know this video was from a while ago, but I recently have been having some problems with my over clock and this video really helped, thanks again

Are you Mad was it stable?
It is an i7 8700k after all..
Pretty much an i7 7700k on insane steroids
I tried same config but mine goes up to 100 temp :(

I've been coming back to this video for years
Thanks I forgot I made this video lol
Hey man, really appreciate this video. Just built my first pc and i’m now running an 8700k ocd to 4.8ghz at 1.250v.
You’re the best
Richard Joseph Ran that for about a month and now i’m at 5.0ghz at 1.285v. So far so good
NO You My temps don't exceed 75 C under full load
You are a good and wonderful man. I was breaking the processor in the wrong way, thanks to God. Then you are the solution. It was in the BIOS settings. The choices you made before the break made the break good for me.
شكرا لك 🇸🇦⚘
Lordy, a good max OC guide, but as a videographer, not so much.
Agreed, he should remake this video with proper... well.. video
Didn't realize that this video was all about the videography instead of OC...
Thank you for the guide!
This is a great guide for beginners like me. Thank you for sharing what you learned
Thx man, explained all the important tools pretty well
Thx alot,settings working rly good for me :)
Thank you very much..this is great video..now finally I success oc my 8700k to 5.0..

i usually run the cpu burner within fur mark for hours
what LLC level should I use for 4.8Ghz with 1.27 V ?
just tried 5.0 @ 1.35 and crashed at Blender, Cinebench score was 1595
now I'm trying 4.9 @ 1.350
just scored a 1563 in Cinebench, gonna try Blender
temps are already hitting the low 90s, high 80s
so far it's doing better than @ 5ghz, max temp currently is 95
damn didn't realize blender was heavy, but the bmw is almost done haha
.... temps just hit 97, obviously gonna have to drop to 4.8 and try again
render finished, max temp 99, gonna try 4.8@1.350
mind you, I have a not delided 8700k, 2x8Gb 3466 but i am using NT-H1 compound
I have a feeling 4.7 is gonna be it for me, but maybe I can get 4.8 at the temps I want, lower 80s ofcourse
not gonna go pass 1.350 until I get this cpu delided, just saving to get Dr.Delid Pro and some metalic compoud haha
Cinebench High 80s low 90 score 1513, gonna render the bmw now,
already it hits high 80s, current max 93, i'm pretty confident this isn't gonna crash, cause 4.9 didn't lol
so we're now at low 90s,
maxed at 96, currently idle in high 40s, gonna drop to 4.7 like everyone does and mostly suggests, and see what happens there,
running cinebench now and temps hit high 80s, score is now 1472, better than my stocks best @ 1399 so i'll take it
as for blender, temps are in the high 80s, and low 90s, but it's stable, lol, just realized that I should have dropped volts instead of down clocking, now i'm gonna test where it didn't crash, and just lower the volts, I'll update as soon as i get what I ideally think i want lol.
Just did 4.9@1.300 and my Cinebench score is 1549 and hit low 80s, looking good so far,
Blender showed signs of crashing, temps in high 80s, max 92, gonna try 4.8@1.3 next, 1.29 rather,
So cine got 1433 in low 80s max 84, doing blender now and still low 80s, already hitting high 80s, shows signs of crashing, guess I'm gonna drop to 4.7 @ 1.28, wanna see how that works. Btw, the render was able to finish but not acceptable.
Gotta a score of 1491, high 70s max 83 on cinebench.
I'm guessing blender is gonna be low 80s. Btw I have a Cooler Master ML240L RGB AIO. I'm not sure if this "signs of crashing" are normal or not, like, it's rendering the BMW right, I move my mouse until it stops, like lags, along with rendering the BMW, so, idk. The temps are in the high 80s which seems fine I guess, I can always up to volts. So after rendering, took 4:55.83, got a max of 87. Guess it's time to move on to aida, or prime, or just stress test, or gonna play a game. I'm thinking fortnite lol
What other kind of video would y’all like to see? would you want to see if a AMDFX 8120 CPU bottlenecks a GTX 1060? Or benchmark my aorus gtx 1080ti extreme waterblock edition?
Need some help. Have a asus z370 e with a 8700k. I'm hitting 5 ghz at 1.392 volts. Loadline is 6, everything else is the same as this video. It was very stable before the july 2018 bios update, but now its crashing on real bench. Any ideas?
After every bios update, you will have to redo the entire OC process as some updates can be beneficial for you (less voltages needed on cpu/ram/nb etc) and some updates won't be. So perhaps you need to increase a voltage somewhere, or reduce it.
Thanks a lot!!!
i did the exact same thing, got stuck on loading screen for windows. so i set my voltage to 4.1 and he started. then i started a blend test with prime 95 and got bluescreen after about 10 seconds
Yours is delidded ...what setting should I change? thanks btw..i have cooler master masterliquid 240..would that be ok?
and I have updated BIOS 0605 (dec. 15)
Those settings should be fine even if you didn’t delid just watch those temps
Does anybody know if i want to keep everything at stock settings without the v core voltage automatically going up. What I must do in bios to achieve this? Cpu used is i7 8700k (stock 3,7ghz turbo at 4,7ghz) because I heard on asus motherboard that the default is auto for v core so it will go up and up. Which setting I must use? Thanks!
Hey, i did everything u said, exactly how u did it, but whenever i overclock mines to 4.900ghz it only goes 4.895ghz. I tried changing the voltage, play around with it still same, any suggestion?
Thats pretty much what you could hope for without frying your cpu man
Cant do 5.0 what so ever on my chip but 4.9 at 1.365v is stable and cool. Temps averaged out 60c to about 75c using a corsair h100i with stock fans swapped to noctua nf-f12
WHAT COOLER AND CASE YA HAVE? SORRY CAPS. CAT SAT ON ME LEL
you could have scrolled down the configuration settings to quick glance cross verify there 7:23
I had to bump my vcore up to 1.36v for a stable 5Ghz overclock. Temps maxing 85ºC. Wouldn't last more than 2min in Prime95 otherwise.
My computer freezes on boot or when I start cenabench. Any advice?
That means it’s unstable lower the clocks or up the voltage but don’t go to high on voltage it can damage your cpu
I have the same MB and same CPU...what voltage would I use for a 4.5 GHz clock? My cooler is the H100i v2. I don't want to go with a crazy oc because I'm new to this.
4.5 should run out the box. id try 5.0ghz @ 1.33volts most chips should hit that
Alright, and this motherboard doesn't have a reset switch and neither does my case....what do I do if I bluescreen or crash??
lol hold the power button for 10 seconds if that doesnt work then you will just have to flip the power switch on your pc psu
Thank you for very good video. I will buy 8700K , Corsair H100i v2 cooler and this motherboard. Can i overclock to 4,7 Ghz with this cooler ???
u should be able to get to at least 5GHz easy
Thanks
Asus 1080 ti 11gb OC edition with z370 e i78700k 16 gb of gskill 3000mhz ram and x62 kraken liquid cooling. For some reason I get unstable heat temps it fluctuates alot. So I reapplied thermal paste and reseated the fan positions. Still climbing over 85 when running pubg... but on idle fluctuating between 35 and 60 i have never ocd what do I do to cool this thing down??..I don't know how to fix voltage or mess with any of that.. I did update the bios to the most recent one that came out on 4/20/2018 though
Cfierro1342 sell your pc your fucked bruh
Can I run this on my own computer?
Can I use this settings on asus z370 A ?
hey! thanks for posting this. I am super new to OCing. I have the same MOBO and CPU, with h100iv2 and 2400 RAM. will these settings work with this? that damn ez tune took my vcore to 1.45 screw that
yes start off there and work your way up. 1.45v would be the max voltage for the cpu if you had it delidded and on a custom water loop
Yes these settings turn off all the automatic voltage controls, at least it did on mine.... i was the same as you VID's were auto adjusting to 1.5v in some cases fianlly i can control the voltages id rather it just crash the PC than fry my chip throwing 1.5 volts at it to "stablize"...
my overclock is not working its stuck at 3.7 ghz!
I dont know how to download the motherboard bios for this motherboard, I have the same specs as in this video. can someone link the download for windows 10 or help me please. @lance west
cpu delided?
Yo man could yolu help me because i overclock mine to even 4ghz on 1.350v and run the temp and it stays at 100.c even tho i have a water cooler?
thats really high voltage just at 4Ghz thats why your temps are really high. you should be able to get 4.6-4.8ghz with that voltage.
Why is my core ratio only changing to 8? It won't let me change it to anything else
It won’t let you enter anything or even press + or - to change the ratio?
@@whatsupbra43 no when I reset it came back. Everything was running at 100% and it was only at running at like 80 mHz or something like less than a gigahertz
I updated my bios to 3004 I believe which was like a year ago. That's the newest one I found and then I did every single step you told me to do and it wouldn't let me change those numbers. It kept switching it to 8 I ran the like auto configuration set up thing and then went back and try to change the numbers and it let me but everything else was different so it didn't work. I had to reset and go with the auto configure it ration set to extreme
With the extreme setting, I'm running at 4.88 GHz 4.89 top
Hey i have a i7 8700k, Motherboard Asus Z370-F, and oc IT to 4.7 GHz With 1.35volt... U think this volt is ok??
tenkai666 yes if you have a good cooler and the temps are not to high
Lance West thank you :)
How many volts would be a good place to start for 4.7ghz?
Zeniax prob 1.25
Damn your lucky i got 5.1 fine but 5.2 is slightly unstable temps are low tho my temps are like 74 f to around 85 u der load thatd only like 30 c i was under the understanding they can go up to 85 c
Uhhh my pc freezes at windows loading screen now. The loop just stops. I can still access my bios screen
solrepublican25 ___ means your overclock is unstable and either lower you clock or increase vcore voltage.
Applied all the same settings as you showed, but now I don’t even get a display? Pc is on and running but not getting an image on my monitor.
Hello, this video was soo helpful thank you, but i just want to clear my doubt at 5ghz 1.30/1.35 my cpu heat is going up to 90+ degree's im using Thermal take 360mm Floe Riing rgb AIO cooler and Kingping KPX Paste.and thermaltake view 71 ARGB cabinet. so i'm currently running at 4.7Ghz on all 6 cores @ 1.20V max temps on stress test 70c
yea the only way to keep those high temps down is to delid and liquid metal.
@@whatsupbra43 damn! I think I need to do a custom water block then.
I’m pretty sure a custom loop wouldn’t help especially since you already have a 360m rad on the cpu. The heat from the crappy intel thermal paste under the heat spreader isn’t transferring the heat from the die efficient enough. I’m pretty sure that when you delid and go liquid metal you drop 10-20 degrees on your Aio. The intel paste was crap that’s why they Solder the IHS now but still isn’t as cool as running liquid metal on the die. Look into a delid kit they way less expensive than a custom loop plus is really not that hard to do. There isn’t any resistors on the cpu so you don’t have really worry about damaging the chip.
@@whatsupbra43 UPDATE! i managed to run at 5ghz @ 1.26V on stress test only 1 core was hitting 88c and rest were 80 81 83 85, while gaming doesn't exceed 77-75c so far it's running solid and the temps are on higher side maybe cause my AIO is 3+ years old i bought this cpu and cooler in 2017 and i decided to overclock it now.
SWAT yeah it’s weird how a bios update can make such a difference.
Hi man!!
I have the NZXT KRAKEN x52... This is good for 5.0???
is that a 240? if so then yes. you just have to watch your temps 85c max you want your temps reaching
Is it possible to do a tutorial on how to overcloking RAM?
Use xmp profile
When I tried to benchmark it crashed
do u suggest if this works with aircooling ?
START VCORE AT 1.32
Appreciate ur instant reply. Very soon i'll receive my new rig and i was wondering if z370-e & 8700k works well with a bequit shadow rock slim which i already have or do I have to get an AIO LC
If u want a great air cooler get the big beefy ones
Could it work with a z390-e motherboard?
It should be the exactly the same. My x299 strix is pretty much the same too
I can not upgrade BIOS
idk why but i have same cpu and motherboard and i got 90 ºC at 4700hz im very sad for it :( i have one water cooling kraken x62... if you can help me i will thank u so much. Thnks and nice video!
My 8700k won’t boot at 4.8 and 1.35? Wats wrong?
Harsha Bandreddi not sure that 1.35 is high enough for a lot of people’s 5.0 oc use all the same settings I use in the video
delidded?
Yes with liquid metal
I did what he did, and my pc started bsods and won't turn on, be cautious
Yes not all cpus are the same. It’s all about the silicon lottery. Some cpus can’t run as high at same voltage.
@@whatsupbra43 yea I have the same exact CPU, thought it would work. I feel it's something wrong with my PC but I can't figure it out.
Constantly Blue screen. It doesn't work and I have a beefy custom water loop followed every step
Same here. My shit won't OC what so ever. Both my CPU and GPU.
Hi! This actual for 0612?
Daniel Revkalo Yes
mine goes stable as far as 4.7
Hi guys. My 8700k only can stable at 4.9ghz with 1.325v. Is this normal?
Bai Hanlin yes. ALL chips are different quality. You got an average chip. Better luck next time.
Yea it depends on the chipset
Welcome to binning...
YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL
How do I know if it worked
@KAOS NATION You know if it works when you do ALL stability tests recommended out there (aida, prime, occt, etc). If I cant pass everything then system isnt stable. Rock solid stability all day, every day
Does it work with the Maximus X Hero
YES
Lance West cool I’ll try to overclock mine
Lance West 5ghz stable 1.31v
Lance West it’s 1.29v
Lance West crashed at 1.29 so now it’s 1.3v
Bruh you too hard on the voltage
Well...this fucked up my pc...
Llc fix?
seems to be i haven't had problems
Lance West thanks
useful but screen suck, anyway thx.
I dont understand i have Strix-e z370 with 8700K and i need minimum 1.42 vcore for oc to 5.0(with all tour setting) but 48 cache
Dave Boucher you put every setting exactly like I did in the video?
Lance West yes every setting...but cache core to 48... Do you modify ram volt?? And my Ram is 1x16gb 2133
And i try 1.39 and its good
Lance West i try 1.39 vcore its work...and 1.34 for Ram...1x16gb 2133mhz
Dave Boucher I don’t touch ram voltage because xmp sets it the way it needs to run. What type of cooling?
i couldn't get past the first 10 secs. and I thought my vidoes were horrible. It reminds me of watching that movie, "Blair Witch Project".
Great video, But dude SPEAK UP! Dont be afraid og talking. You are almost whispering. Speak out loud! No reason to be shy...
I have the same mainboard and processor. And im new to overclocking. Is its save to just copy your values?
What type of cooling do you have?
Thx for answer. I have a corsair H115i
Yes you should be fine just watch temps. Since every cpu is different and your cpu is stable at that frequency and voltage then you can either up the frequency to get a high oc or drop the voltage until it you fine the lowest stable voltage if you just want to stay at 5ghz
Ok thx i will try :) thx for the video
