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

from 4C/4T to 6C/6T, of course you just did a huge jump bro.
Also, your OC at 5.0GHz @ 1.312v seems to be a nice chip, or at least not a lemon one.

Can you tell me how did you 'attach' that fan? I want to do the same thing

Will share sometime over the weekend haha, out of town now.

Basically I use zip-tie and hang it over my tower cooler using the cooler's 2nd fan bracket.

Better version. Took and old gc and slice it to make mount for fans.

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 ?

AVX when enabled will make tests more stressful and VRM becoming hotter.
Coil whine is usually not affecting stability, just might be annoying.
There have been some complaints about the Gaming 7 having a coil whine issue, most probably coming from the chokes they used.

Oh i see. Nice life hack there

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

Z370 Gaming 5 is a mid tier mobo that usually features lower VRM quality:

Upgrading to top tier with higher VRM quality will shave off vCore by about 0.048v, hence lowering your core temps and allowing for higher OC headroom.

Any good mobo to recommend?
Budget around < 1k

That would be ASRock Z370 Taichi @ RM 979, no doubt

- Top tier
- 10+2 power phases
- Supports up to DDR4-4133+
- Has WIFI
- Has Debug LED
- Dual LAN
- Dual USB 3.1 Gen2
- 3x M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4
- RGB!

*Double post*

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

That's a hell of a good deal.
You won't regret getting it!

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

My 8700K (non-delid) run at 70C at stock clocks @ 1.125v with a 240mm AIO cooler.

Monitor your vCore etc with HWiNFO64 software and post the screenshot over here.
Check your pump and fan speeds are ramping up to max when it gets hot.
AFAIK by default Corsair's CUE software will ask the AIO cooler operating at "Silent Mode" rather than the more powerful "Performance Mode".

Update the mobo BIOS to make sure that the settings are optimized ones.
Check the Multicore Enhancement (MCE), disabling it will keep the temps low.
Check the CPU Loadline Calibration (LLC) setting, for ASRock Level 1 means the minimum vDroop (vCore decreases at load) or might be vDrop (vCore increases at load) a little bit. You may try Level 2.

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

Manage to push 4.7ghz @ 1.345v
