Overclocking i7-8700K numbers

[Cheesy86]

Hello my awesome people. Back at it again. Just trying to learn as much as I can here from the fountain of knowledge that you all provide. Currently trying to OC my 8700k to 4.8 GHZ and make my way up. I wanted to see what you guys opinions are on temps, voltage, VCCIO and VCCSA. I ran a test last night on RealBench for 1 hr with the following specs and it passed:

OC: 4.8 GHZ

Package Temps: 73° C

VCore: 1.26

VCCIO: 1.1

VCCSA: 1.1

Also ran a test on Cinebench and went from 1301 (stock) to 1559. That's an 83% increase, pretty happy. The system is getting cooled by the Corsair H100i V2.

What do you guys think? I would like to try and stick around these numbers, maybe lower temps a bit if possible w/o delidding and I am open to any recommendations and thoughts you all have.

Ok Kalle I will also keep that in mind. Where did you say you can find the vrm switching frequency in the BIOS?

[kalle-m]

yes and check vrm temps with your fingers under load, you can use common sense if you need a fan there or not, I know it clutters up your build a little bit but it might be worth it.

Go to Digi+ power settings I think its called, and you find it in there with a lot of helpful stuff. Good luck!!!

Nate,

I have a test going right now at 4.8ghz. I think I am going to stick with that core speed for now. I did want to ask you, it seems my case fans are all at the same speed. Do you know if ai suite still works with the asus prime z370 to control fan speeds.

I tried finding their download on the Asus motherboard homepage but I couldn't see it. Can I do it through the iCue software?

You can download speedfan http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php

you will have to program your fan curves and stuff, set what fan is for what control and so on in "configure - fan control" also set your fan controllers to PWM in "configure - advanced" you need to click on the "Novuton NCTXXX" in the drop down box and set them to manual, the top 6 or how ever many fan headers you have 🙂 hope I explained it so you understand, if you are good at software fiddeling youre not gonna have any problems.

it is a very good software but they don't upgrade it anymore.. but it works good.

Yes, Realbench is a good test, if you can pass that and do your rendering you can call it good.

[Cheesy86]

Cool Nate thanks man. Your confidence and encouragement makes me want to concur the world hahahaha. I will test when I get home and post results from HWinfo and see where temps are at. You the best brother.

Ok, looking forward to your results !
