any advice on that?

Should i try to play with LLC maybe Level 2/ 3. Does this options got any relations?

Last time i tried level 5, bsod after few mins of prime

ahh okay... we did came through this last time

if I run with the current settings, does it harm the cpu?

im okay with the low speed n high speed.

(maybe for the stability test I will temporary run as high perf)

I passed Small FFT for 12 hours but Blend failed in 1 hour.

Most likely suspect is the RAM not stable ?

I see, I set XMP and downvolted my CPU abit haha. Want to keep the fan noise down.

Now slowly increment back the voltage.

1.8v failed at 1 hour, 1.9 failed at 8 hours, now trying at 2.0.

Agak agak batch baru ni sedap tak oc rasa macam nak try nasib sekali lagi jer

Hi guys
Is aorus gaming 5 good enough for 8700k?

yes i do agree on the cons #1,2,3

For the vcore, i set 1.325, but in HWiNFO showing ~1.41v

In cpuz 1.296.

How to verify this yea owikh?

Added a fan to my GIGABYTE Ultra-Gaming 2.0 VRM, temps went from 90c to 75++c. Now only dare to push it up.

Now 4.5 GHZ with max load temp of 84c during prime small FFT. This temp should be ok right ? Resit and repaste the Masterair 4 with multiple diff thermal paste also this temp, now on Kyronaught. I guess this cooler cannot <80 oc haha.

Guys.. My Asrock z170 pro 4 already dead. How to repair or claim warantry. Any other good mobo to oc es proc?

Hmm, just wondering if this is a software bug or really hardware issue.

When I stressing PRIME 95, sometime HWinfo shows the vrm temps will show the max recorded temperature of 115c when I am away.

But when I stare at the reading at full load it reads 78c to 80c and never go pass 90c.

Sometimes I see unrealistic reading such as 2c Motherboard temps and negative reading.

Oh i see.

Btw, I tried putting a fan on the back of my motherboard to cool the rear VRM and CPU...to my surprise.....VRM dropped by 7c and CPU by 1c. Never expected  this result.

I read most ppl say 1.4 V is the max safe for a Coffee Lake. Just want to clarify is that the one set in BIOS or the one displayed in CPU-Z/Core temp.

In BIOS I set 1.320 for 4.7GHZ, but in CPU-Z/Core temp only show 1.25 average when full load. So...the 1.4V limit is in the bios or in Windows ?

Thanks.

Found a buyer for my Ultra Gaming 2.0, he is gonna use it for a non-k processor which ia suitable.

Any motherboard can recommend ? Budget around 1.2k. Eying the Gaming 7 but reports on the vrm temps is like gambling.

Some say good vrm never pass 60c. Some 100+c....

Just upgraded to 8600k from 3570k..very big improvement i must say

I have some weird issue now.

1) Gigabyte Ultra Gaming 2.0 + Corsair PSU, whenever I stress Prime 95 randomly it will cause a coil whine near the top vrm area. Other then Prime 95, didn't heard it.

2) Maybe my Motherboard have not good components, sold it to a friend who building a new PC. Got a Z370 Gaming 7 and guess what, the Coil Whine is still there !

3) Maybe its' PSU, got an EVGA PSU and still coil whine is there. Both PSU tested are 750W. Tried different power cable as well...

4) Maybe its GPU, so I removed my GPU and use the intel HD and still its there.

I can live with it as it only appear during Prime 95 as far as I know. Just annoying when I am stress testing. Wonder what could be causing this ? Do you think it's the motherboard problem ? Bad luck 2 in a row ? Both are new btw.

Even at stock speed the whine is there...I tried Real Bench and Prime without AVX and there is no audible whine. I guess the trigger is AVX ?

Hi guys, currently using the gaming 5 to oc my delided 8700k to 4.8ghz @ 1.33V
Full load temp hovring around 79 to 82
Does changing mobo can help further oc?
Cooler is H110i

Any good mobo to recommend?
Budget around < 1k

Found it for 876. Gonna get it.
But the gaming 5 only used for less than a month haha

hi, need help

i juz bought i7 8700k + asrock z370 exteme4, cooled by h100i v2

even at stock, prime95 will give me 80+c temp, vcore around 1.15v, wtf is this

is this normal? if i tried to bump up vcore to 1.2v, tem0 will reach 90+

is tis normal or something is wrong, i already tried to reapplied thermal paste twice, same result

Just got a 7700k 4.2ghz with Asrock Gaming k6 z270 board.

Manage to push 4.7ghz @ 1.345v

cannot. keep bsod

i cant see the error code thou just bsod sometime watchdog error sometime whea uncorrectable error

should i fixed mode or offset?

I havent oc my ram thou. Still reading and learning from here
