Wasn't really stable at -0.15vcore offset so now I'm at -0.125vcore. So far so good. Current vcore ranges from 1.200 to 1.260. By having CAM, RGB Fusion 2 and iCue running in the background, I actually lose 200 points in CB15 so I switched them off and finally got a proper score [attachmentid=10184422]
Cooled by NZXT Kraken X62 with its stock 2x AER P140 fans in pull configuration, conducted by Cooler Master Mastergel Pro TIM.
Mobo: Gigabyte Z390 AORUS Elite RAM: GSkill Trident Z RGB 3200mhz on XMP profile 8GB x4
The last rig I did any tweaking or overclocking was my i7 920 rig
with this result .. i think if i got same result can do mining also
New user of 8th gen system. Did a cinebench r15 to see if I can boot this 5.0 GHZ. It seems workable. 5.0GHZ with fixed 1.28 Vcore just for the sole purpose of validation. With push/pull Hyper 212 Evo with Arctic F12 fans at full speed, I don't think it can sustain that much of heat. As it reaches 84 C+- for such simple bench test.

Congratulations! 5GHz at 1.28v, it's a good chip if you managed to stabilize it through stress tests such as RB v2.56.
## to be listed in Post #2, you must post at least a screenshot of CPU-Z consisted of CPU & motherboard/RAM tabs, as well as at least one stable run of Cinebench R15. All in a single screenshot

Oh, I see. Cos if it's OCN club, this would be sufficient for me to be in the 5.0 GHZ league.
Just passed RealBench for 4.8 GHZ, 1.2 Vcore, AVX Offset 0, max LLC (4 hr) Just let it run overnight so I only have screenshot after it passes 90 mins.

Nicely done bro. Just remember to set the Power Management in OS to High Performance to kill the CPU speed fluctuations. Regarding CPU-Z validity, I will include it as an option of requirement.

yeah, here goes to the coffee lake after ivy bridge. its been sometimes not doing CPU overclocking for such a long time. It seems that the rig is pretty stable at 4.8 GHZ, 1.2 V. ITX board seems to have much limitations compared to an ATX board.

Well, ITX doesn't have much space for beefier VRM and the cost must be kept as low as possible hence generally lower quality compared to regular ATX boards.
The only thing I like about ITX is that it has excellent RAM OC thanks to shorter signal path to CPU socket. I'm thinking to get myself the MPG Z390I EDGE AC right now as the Apex will likely not going to be available locally anytime soon.

I ought to have a stable CPU overclock before having a good RAM OC, aye? Go go and review a Z390 ITX based overclocking, bro! Which model is that, Apex?

I think it won't affect your standard overclocking. May be you need cleaner and stabler voltage when pushing the limit of your CPU overclocking? I am not entirely sure, but a good PSU can assure me getting good and sufficient power for future purpose like adding custom waterloop to CPU and GPU, or upgrading GPU that may consume more wattage!
