Hi all sifu,
Idk if im doing the right thing or not . My first time using prime95



just assemble 8700k with maximus hero.

First i OC to 4.8 with 1.2V, run cinebench and prime95. all looks good. Then i tried 5.0 @ 1.2V --> BSOD


and finally i try 5.0 GHz @ 1.25V and run for few hours still no bsod. but the temp quite hight

[attachmentid=9992293]

Is this the right way to test the cpu?

oh you're right. I didnt even notice it

Here my core voltage after clear cmos.

Is it okay to increase the voltage and use it for long term. Last night i change back to 4.8 @ 1.2V the temperature at 100% load looks good around 60+ . but for this 5.0 GHz @1.25 the temperature quite high. max at 90 celcius and most of the time at 80+ at full load. Should i just let it run @ 4,8?

Currently just using the X62 out of the box. Should i reapply new thermal paste? i still have my thermal grizzly kryonaut.

my x62 radiator fan max speed is about 1.1k rpm only based on CAM. I have extra fan and would it help to reduce the temp if i change nzxt stock fan with noctua 14cm 3000rpm fan for the radiator?

Thanks man. Finally got some time to try this setting.

Set in bios 1.28V
LLC level 6

Still running Prime95. Lets see what will happen

So i stopped my stress test after 4 hours without any error. I guess that's enough? or need more.

For AVX offset, do I really need to set it? I read your post previously it is being used in games such as bf but I dont play that game hehehe. I tried running prime95 with avx offset 3, so it runs @ 4.7GHz the whole time?
