got this 8700k 2 weeks ago .

5.2 ghz 1.392v avx offset = - 1

i used prime 95 26.6 for 8 hrs
ran asus real bench for a quik 1 hr when i got it then another 8 hrs once i found i was able to do 5.2 under 1.4v

this 8700k chip seems like as good as a 8086k since it can do 5 ghz @ 1.28 ish v . guess ill keep it

Bass Junkie XL...again...nice overclock with that chip...should be able to do that overclock with avx 0.....my guess is that your chip is capable of hitting 5.3ghz @ 1.42v (1.440v under load)..that is...with the proper cooling as I know you are on air ...temps must be a little high ...guessing mid to high 80's .

with core temp app open 24/7 @ 5.2 1.392 playing bf1 @ 1440p on a 1080ti with tweaked high settings 162 fps cap i see up to 72 c max in bf1 when map loads i see 100 % cpu ussage normaly in the 60s .

other games like escape from tarkov , stalker , gta 5 50- 67 c .

asus real bench hit a peak max at 81 c

im just at the end of the coolers capabilty . i spike here and there in the light 70s wont keep me up at night 80s while gaming i would down clock it to 5

What vcore do you need for 4.9? I need 1.22v under load for 4.9 with 4.8 uncore and 3600c16, so I would like to have a slight idea what the chip can do.

i dont know soon as i got the chip before trying it first i delided it put my pure copper ihs on wentto bios after delid put in 5 ghz 1.28 ran cinbench , prime 95 , asus real bench @ 1.285 v all passed . went to 5.1 ghz @ 1.32v did the same thing passed then went to 5.2 @ 1.392 . this 3 day long week end in canada i will try 4.7 ghz , 4.9 and see what she can do . i would rather try 5.3 ghz @ 1.42- 1.425 avx @ maybee -2 . with the 9900k out soon i dont mind 1.4v for a month or 2

I thought we were talking about cpu oc here [emoji16]

I was actually also considering to delid my cpu...with 30c ambient it max out at 70c at x264 stress test. It's cooled by a triple 60mm rad with 3x120mm typhoon fans at lowest rpm. So o don't know how much I can push more due to temps. But I 'll also try 5.0 and see what I can do.

Edit: 1.4+v seems too much for daily use I think

yeah with out deliding temps sky rocket in to oblivion .

imy temps are pretty good on this 8 year old true black 120 heat sync because i got a pure copper ihs with liquid metal under it and also put a drop of metal between the cpu lid and the heat sync it self aswell . max temp i see gaming @ 165 hz is about 73 c bf1 uses 100 % cpu when loading maps and can throw wheas erros when u pass prime 95 its a good test lol .

before delid i bet i couldnt do more then 4.8 - 5.0 if im lucky

Delliding the chip..with TG liquid metal ..add ..TG Kryonaut paste to chip / heatsink plus a push / pull configuration with the Gentle Typhoons will definitely drop those temps....
I know...I have that combo with a XSPC 360 rad...could not be happier !!.....that is until 9900k arrives and I move on to that chip...

im happy with temps i used thermal grizzly counductnought under the ihs and on top , with a rockit cool 88 pure copper ihs ( 2- 4 c ) .

this is just temporary till i get my dubble 360 rad set up then might try 5.3 .

so far after 8 days of 5.2 ghz @ 1.392v - 1 avx ram @ 4k cl-17 not one whea error has poped up on me in event viewer .
- ( yes i watched for whea errors when i ran prime 95 / real bench ) some times they can pop up later on .

yeah i cant wait for the 9900k ! lets just hope to get 5.0 ghz under 1.38v is common with the 9900k and not a 10 % chance ..... if they are a real bad over clocker i might stick with 5.2 - 5.3 on the 8700k so ill wait to see some over clocking reports / forums posts on it before i pop .

Thanks for the reply. Hopefully I‘ll have the time to test mine in the next days. I had it passing 2 hours prime95 (non-avx) even with the faulty ram at 5 ghz (1.28 v). It also did pass cinebench at 5,1 with 1.3 V, so it might be stable at around 1.32.
