Recently just got my i7-8700k and i want get it @5Ghz magical number but im using kraken x62 and when i stress test it ran up to 100c with 1.39 vcore and i thought its the kraken problem so i send it back to the seller ask for RMA but after test the seller refused RMA for me he said that its normal for the kraken running this temperature anyone have suggestions?
1.39V is pretty high bro. Maybe that's why the kraken is getting to 100c. I have the same cooler, getting about max 95 degrees on the package with Prime 95 (non AVX). How is your current settings though. I realise your post is from a year ago haha.

Guys, dont dream lah
5Ghz is for very small population chance to reach at acceptable voltage. Mostly do 4.7-4.8Ghz only
Also deliding CPU is not worth for 24/7. You can ask idealtech to do for u though
Not true. A majority of the 8600k and 8700k users can reach 5.0GHz ezpz with 1.35 on the Vcore. Those with golden samples can reach with 1.28V. I can run my 8700k no issues at 5GHz 1.35V. 1.28V - 4.8GHz. Kraken x62 with stock NZXT AER fans on my rad.

why?
I thought the only disadvantage of cpu delidding is the risk of spoil it when delidding
but you say it not worth for 24/7, can you elaborate more?

interested to know also
i've delided & liquid metal-ed few 3770k,4770k,7700k before & it helps me a lot
would love to hear his thought on the "not worth 24/7"
I think he's trying to say that with delidding you effectively void your warranty. And to be honest most of us will not notice the difference between a 5GHz overclock and a 4.7GHz multicore enhancement. But for the MCU, better if you go into the BIOS and tweak the Vcore on your own. Sometimes the MCU creates an overshoot. I've seen mine go as high as 1.4V! Yikes!!
But that's the thing isn't it, you buy a top of the line processor and you're limited to that damn toothpaste Intel has provided as a TIM haha.Oh well at least the option to delid is there. Unlike the i9-9900k. Good luck getting that solder out without breaking something.
