i5-8600k overclocking settings for 5GHz on Asrock z370 Extreme 4 

That's great. All is well here as well, although I mostly OC for benchmarks. I only OCed for real life gaming for a couple of games.

What settings you ended up with because i have same cpu and mb

You are welcome mate.

No problem mate. :)

What settings you did.. ihave i7 9700k it stuck at 4.7 sometimes its 4.8 but on 3dmark stuck to 4.7

You are welcome mate. There are many lengthy gaming benchmarks with the 8600k@5Ghz, with big cpu loads in many of them, like AC:O. It was stable in Prime95 up to one hour, but then stopped it, since no game puts such loads on the cpu anyway.

I guess Asrock may be using a bit higher voltages to keep the faster ram kits stable. I am sure they wouldn't use settings that would be dangerous for the memory controller and the system agent. However some better fine tuning may be possible depending on the quality of the cpu and the ram.

I see that you made a post regarding AVX, but I cannot find it here. Did you delete it? Did you resolve the problem?

Yes i solved after googling it. Had to disable multi core enhancements before changing cpu ratio. Got cpu at 4.7 ghz 1.25v all core. 4200 mhz ram. 4400 mhz XMP wanted to increase BCLK to post. It's a bit toasty already 60 -70c in AC Origins but hell it perform like a beast in Alexandria. Funny thing is when i had ram at stock speeds it ran shittier than my 4770K.

But when you change cpu multi, the multi core enhancement gets disabled anyway! :S In any case if you solved it, that's great. Oh man 4200mhz RAM wtf, lol! xD How much did it cost?

Must be some bug, it was jumping 100 mhz back and forth. $320 for ram, rated 4400 mhz but wont go any higher than 4200-4266

Did you copy the exact way he had it on the video?

Very good mate.

might be a power issue

Sounds pretty good to me, however as I keep saying, the 8600k is very powerful as it is. I mean I just use multicore enhancement and be done with it. I only OCed to do some benchmarks for my hobbyist channel. You could try 10mV to see if it's stable if you have a really good cpu, but it sounds great as it is already.

@@toutagamon Thanks a lot for the quick reply, I'll keep testing :)

The cooler master evo 212 is a decent cooler but not high performance. Why don't you just enable multicore enhancement, which will keep the cpu at 4.3Ghz all core turbo and call it a day? In any case, if you want to go that road, trial and error is what you should do. There is no other way since each system is different. I have never had a cpu die on me, if that's what you are asking. However, as I always say, overclocking requires the owner to take some wilful risks.

35C at load at 5Ghz? Hmmm.... Can you upload an aida stress test at 5Ghz like so?images2.imgbox.com/ad/b5/ELQIdraJ_o.png

Tytytytyty❤

I got mine at 1.275 volts @4.8 with no vcore jumps... so its stable and doesnt lower the supposed life span... but im itchn to get that 5ghz so ill try this...

@@elilopez8844 smh the life span lowering only occurs with really high voltages. And even then it will lower it from working for 15 years down to 10 or something

Τηε 8700k boosts at 4.7Ghz for low loads, but if you want 4.5Ghz constant at heavy loads, then set the multiplier at 45, the offset at +10mV and start with LLC1 and see if it's stable. You can then try LLC2,3 etc or even auto. Lots of combinations could be stable. As I say about Prime95, test your favorite apps instead. Very few real life operations will put such burden on a cpu.

If I use Fixed Mode in the bios, should I disable Intel SpeedStep Technology, Intel Turbo Technology and Intel Speed Shift Technology? Or can I leave them enabled ?

Leave them enabled.

Safe is a big word mate. You are overclocking and overvolting, therefore you are running the cpu out of spec. You are willingly taking a risk. We all do. Yes it will not blow up (probably lol) but you are putting it under more stress than the manufacturer intended. However yes, there is some leeway built into it. That being said, the 9700k is 8core and may need more voltage. Try and see. Why do you need to overclock this powerful cpu though? I gather it has a very high boost by itself. Maybe just enable multicore enhancement and be done with it?

Yes this can happen. Even if the parts are the same, they are still not the same, due to the silicon lottery. 65C is OK too. Have fun with it mate.

Glad I helped. Maybe your PC can now issue tickets. Also it would be a good idea to have a decent cooler, like the one I mention in the description. Just saying. Common sense.

I set to 1.300

They are using too much voltage.

Oh, good to know. Thanks.

Ωραιος. 8600k και εσυ;

ναι φίλε, κτήνος είναι ο επεξεργαστής, πιστεύω οτι για αρκετά χρονιά θα είμαστε κομπλε για gaming.

Καλά εγώ είχα 2500k από το 2011. Τώρα με 6 πυρήνες άντε γεια! Ακόμα ούτε καν δουλεύουν από ότι βλέπω στα benchmarks μου.

τώρα ψάχνω να δω τι κάρτα θα βαλέ, μαλών για 1060/6 με βλέπω λόγω μόνιτορ 1080/60hz, πριν από αυτό είχα ένα ψοφίμι fx 6300 όποτε καταλαβαίνεις πως μου φαίνεται ο 8600κ!!!

1060/6 ειναι πολυ καλη επιλογη. Φιλε εκανες τρελη αναβαθμιση! :D

You can use fixed voltage on this board as well.

Same

For booting windows, your psu wouldn't be a problem, unless the psu is damaged. Booting windows requires a little wattage. Now for gaming the cpu could draw around 100W. For other apps, maybe even more. If it froze on windows boot, it means you need to check and/or change your settings. Not all systems are the same, although I'd bet all 8600ks should be able to boot windows with these settings. Make sure you have everything right.

@@toutagamon I think the crash at boot is caused by something I saw/heard in other yt video - some XMP RAM profiles cause such crashes, when I set XMP RAM Profile on auto everything works even with core enhancement, when on XMP profile 1 - windows don't boot. BIOS always shows 3600mhz on my DDR4 RAM, doesn't matter if it is on auto or xmp, so I just use default setting

I don't understand what you mean by "but just can't get the cpu to save or show up". Make sure you have set the power options in windows to balanced or performance. These may affect the clocks as well.

@@toutagamon I mean on the start of the video it's shows his 8600k at 5ghz and ram speed After I enter the setting from his video and save and exit then reboot and then enter the bois the cpu shows up as standard speed but when I go into the overclocking page all his 5hz setting are there and on the over clocking page says standard speed it's like there not loading or saving pass the overclocking page if you get what I mean wish could add photos here

Ok I see now. The only thing I can think of, is that the system does not accept your overclock and reverts to standard speed when you restart. Bioses can do that to keep the system from damage. That would mean that you have done something seriously wrong though.

Glad you got some help from this. Now regarding the 5Ghz clock, the cpu should not stay at 5Ghz indefinitely. At idle, it should drop clocks, if the intel power saving settings have not been tampered with. Do you use cpuz to monitor clocks? Leave the system at idle and see how clocks behave. Also open task manager and see if there's any cpu load, forcing the cpu to increase clocks.Also see what kind of power profile you use in windows. There's really no need to keep the cpu overclocked all the time however. It's fast enough as it is.

I am using CPUZ and HWMonitor. Task manager shows 2% CPU utilization but still kicking at 5 GHz and VCore at 1.424. Working my way through the stuff you wrote - my PC power setting were on High Performance. I switched it to Balanced and there, it drops the clock speed but its very variable fluctuating between 800MHz to 5GHz. Is this normal?

Yes that's what you want. The cpu will increase clocks when the load requires so. Try running some benchmarks and you will see it going to 5Ghz and staying there, while the benchmark runs its cpu load test. 1.424 is too much though. Try lowering it and see if it remains stable.

@toutagamon I ran realbench and yes I see stable 5GHz. I have the CPU voltage set to 1.3V with offset of +0.020V. However, under full load, the vcore is still peaking at 1.424V. I even tried using load line calibration of 5. How do I decrease the max Vcore? Your help is highly appreciated.

@@ktember6526 You should either set a lower than 1.3V voltage, or set the cpu core/cache voltage to offset mode, and use +30mV there. Like I show at 6:28. I use +50mV in the video but later I found it was stable with 30mV as well.

or are stress tests not an accurate representation of 5ghz usage on a cpu

Well I had done a Prime95 test at 5GHz to see what kind of power draw the cpu would have and it showed 120W. images2.imgbox.com/62/f6/lelEmiZr_o.png From all my gaming tests 120W for long duration seemed to be ok. Maybe your cpu needs a more relaxed wattage. How about other tests? Does it go up to 5Ghz? Maybe some other setting is inhibiting your clock? Like AVX offset or something? I don't know about frying. I mean cpus do have internal protection mechanisms. I have a 200W cooler anyway, but I saw no reason going crazy with the limits, especially since I am focusing on gaming cpu loads. Very difficult to put such strain on the cpu. In my AC:O benchmark, which had the cpu at almost max load, the 120W limit had no problem whatsoever. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xkmQtlwZsZQ.html

Well you can't possibly fry the cpu with +50mV. If it did fry, it must have been faulty from the get go anyway. Have you tried with a different PSU however. It sounds mostly as a mobo or a PSU, than the cpu to be frank. I suppose you have reset the bios right?

Thanks for letting me know the mV bump shouldn't be enough to fry the chip, i didn't think your OC was to aggressive but i wasn't sure, I tried to reset the bios with a few different methods i tried unplugging it and taking out the cmos battery for 24 hours, i also unplugged it and shorted the cmos reset jumper for 3 seconds as per the mother board instruction manuals, but when i power the mother board on it still rotates the colors on the leds which tells me its some how still remembering settings, because it was original just 1 color. The motherboard i am working on now is however a new mother board same model and i am still getting the same symptoms. As far as the PSU goes i used a tester on it to confirm its operating correctly and also tried a different PSU, the only thing i have not checked is the ram. Thing is the symptoms it exbits are the exact same symptoms i get when i straight up pull the ram and try and power it on, i am wondering if my ram could be cooked or bad, could the xmp OC have messed things up? I have never overclocked ram.

Well unplugging the battery should be enough by itself. The RGB function not resetting is weird indeed, but it's the first time I have had an RGB mobo and I am not sure how that works. Maybe it stores those settings differently. It is however eyebrow raising for sure. The xmp should cause any trouble for the ram sticks either. That's not really overclocking. It's considered standard for what the ram sticks can do. It may be out of jedec spec, but it has always been like that. This is a really weird situation you got there buddy. Maybe take it to the store, since they have plenty of hardware to crosscheck and figure out wtf is wrong. Are you hearing any beeping sounds when the system turns on?

I don't have a speaker at the moment i just ordered one on ebay its weird this board is supposed to have an led code indicator but i don't see it lightning up, I've got one more option i'm gonna try some different ram and see what happens.

So i just wanted to update this and say that i finally got a new cpu to test with and was able to determine that the cpu was the problem. Whether or not that was the result of improper chip manufacturing, the use of these settings or a combination of the 2, i am not sure. So i'm not trying to talk shit but just wanted to let every one know what happened so that anyone who wants to avoid this happening can.

That's....weird. Do you have the latest BIOS?

I have P1.30 so its newer than in the video :/ I tested my Power Supply when I start prime (the test with maximum power usage) goes up from 80-90W in Idle to 200-220W (Total System Power) Maybe the CPU needs more Watts?

Well sure try more watts, why not. However the built in 4.8Ghz sets crazy values for those as well. If that does not work, update to the latest 1.80 and after the update has finished reset the BIOS anyway. Then try overclocking again.

You need to go to the dram settings and load the xmp profile. Also make sure your ram is seated at A2/B2 slots.

They are probably different values on your motherboard. Maybe see what your manual says. Or leave them at what they where.

Ok thanks

Check if there is anything weird in the power options of the BIOS. Also see if you have the latest BIOS.

Offset is just a personal preference, coming from older intel systems that worked better with that. I also consider it a less strict voltage option, which the system can use to set the voltage where it needs at any given moment. Offset is a guide if you will, not a strict number. The 8600K is cool enough to cope with no AVX2 speed reduction. Also from my testing, I saw some games dropping clocks with any negative AVX2 setting.

toutagamon thanks for the quickly answers. So with the offset mode if I want the cpu cooler can I test an LLC level 3 and downing the offset value to 30/40mV and see if the system will works stable?

Yes you can try that, but for 5Ghz I think it will be difficult. I have settled for 30mV for 5Ghz now, but with level 1 llc. I keep the system at stock 99% of the time anyway though. I only OC for my benchmarks. The 8600k is pretty powerful as it is.

Ok i 'll test it and after sell how it goes.

So, i ve tested with 50mv as offset and LLC1 and the temperature decrease. It's possible which the offset is for decrease the cpu's voltage?

Well, the principles are the same. I don't see why not. You just have to find the appropriate settings.

Ναι δεν εχει αλλαξει κατι. Προσωπικα κατεβασα το offset ακομα λιγο. Βεβαια δεν ειναι ολα τα συστηματα ιδια, οποτε ισως χρειαστει αλλες ρυθμισεις το δικο σου.

toutagamon Σε ευχαριστώ. Μόλις είδα έχεις κάρτα γραφικών KFA2 1070. Μόλις πήρα και εγώ την ίδια σε 1070 ti. Ξέρεις τι παίζει με εγγύηση σε overclocking μέσο προγράμματος της msi?

The B360 chipset does not support overclocking mate. See here. www.techspot.com/review/1603-intel-b360-chipset/

Do you have your ram at a2/b2?

Yes they are at a2 b2

My bios are 1.30 and for me to have XMP I needed to change some of my dram voltage... Would that maybe be the issue?

Normally XMP sets the correct settings the RAM needs in order to operate correctly. Voltage included. If you have doubts whether it's the cpu causing the problem or the ram, you should test them separately. Meaning, set the cpu at stock and the ram at XMP clocks and see if the system is stable. Then overclock the cpu and set the ram at normal speeds, non XMP that is, and again see how the system behaves. Keep in mind that not all systems are the same however. I am just showing the settings that need to be changed here. Some systems may need more aggressive or more relaxed changes, depending on the quality of the dies.

My friend, Prime95 has no real life usability. No gaming workload will ever be like Prime95. The settings I am suggesting here, are perfect for gamers. Here is my cinebench multicore result with the settings I am using in this video. images2.imgbox.com/c6/c0/l1mgzc3J_o.png You will see that they are about the same and a little faster, compared to Guru3D's review 5Ghz result. www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/intel_core_i5_8600k_processor_review,29.html In games, the workload is even lower compared to Cinebench, let alone Prime95. Here is my Ashes of the Singularity result for 5Ghz. You will see that the average cpu framerate for DX12 High at 130fps is not bad at all. images2.imgbox.com/6a/56/cSocrJ1R_o.png Also this is a shot while the benchmark was running. As you can see the power is not even nearing the short 150W limit I have imposed. images2.imgbox.com/d5/89/Rn4XvheU_o.png In any case, people are welcome to try higher values. I prefer safer ones.

Yea, that Prime95 alsmost burned my cpu @4.8ghz. It kept 60-70c and then a 20 sec later BANG 95c I was fast enough to cut that shit lol., Ofc I know that you cant break cpu that easily, but Im still in honeymoon with my new pc, dont want anyone hurt it lol. Great results tho

For +50mV I am getting 1.328V. For +30mV I am getting 1.28V. That's for 5Ghz. So +20mV should be very close to what you want.

Awesome, thanks for your efforts.

Make sure you have the standard Intel settings enabled and use the balanced power setting in windows.

nice ! I set it from high performance to balanced and its normal again ! thanks for help

awesome

If the killer sli has the same options, these settings should do. Maybe with a little tinkering, because even the exact same models, are not really exactly the same due to silicon lottery.

It's power limit, set them to the max, set "Long & short duration power limit" to 200 and cpu core current limit to 200 as well, the OC guide on the video isnt really pure 5Ghz bcus he set the power limit to 120 and 150, there's no point if you limit them, when cpu does heavy load it will drop the clock. 120 for 5Ghz, he was just dreaming lol

Hi, can i use the same settings for my i7 8770k?

Normally the 8700k should require more power. But if it's stable then it's fine really.

Hey Jared. Thanks for your kind words. Error 04 should be related to memory issues according to this. www.asrock.com/support/faq.asp?id=334 I would suggest you try running only the two modules on A2/B2 to see if the problem persists. The 980Ti may be more power consuming but it would only affect the system if you have a bad 12V rail in your PSU. You would certainly see some instant power offs, crashes or BSODs if that was the case however. Even so, since you have a coffeelake system, you can take it out and run the system with the on board gpu to see what's going on. Do you really need OC for CS:GO however? I thought this was a light game? Regardless, you should indeed troubleshoot this.

toutagamon yes cs:go is an extremely light game. But I do plan on downloading battlefield, grand theft auto, Witcher, and a few other games that I know demand a lot more from my PC. And if I can hit 5ghz stable then why not lol like you said before “no game is going to need your pc at 5ghz, but I don’t see why not if you can achieve it lol” so that’s why I’m coming to you for these questions. And I also read that it is a ram issue if it’s showing 04. But I have all my slots taken up on my MB and it’s reading all 16gb. I was thinking maybe I need to overclock my dram voltage a little?? It says in OC Tweaker my standard is at 1.36 and I was thinking of changing it to 1.4? These are DDR4 G.Skill Ripjaws 4 Series 3200’s. So I didn’t get cheap ram... as for my PSU I use a 650 EVGA Supernova G3 gold 80 plus

toutagamon btw thanks for your response!

Just out of curiocity, why did you get 4x4 instead of 2x8? 4 dimms are always harder for the memory controller, especially for cpus designed with dual channel in memory. I mean I would understand it for say 64GBs but for 16? In any case, you may still had the same problem with 2x8 anyway, so don't worry too much about it. 1.4V sounds a bit much however. I only increased 0.01V on my Ripjaws in order to tighten the timings from CL15 to CL14. Memory controllers have been known to be sensitive with RAM voltage in the past and I am not sure what the consensus is for the Coffelakes. Normally it shouldn't do that when the cpu is overclocked. I mean if at stock cpu the ram works OK, why would it have a problem when the system is overclocked? It doesn't make sense tbh. Especially with the offset voltage and not the fixed one. Also exactly this part, that the fixed voltage works, should steer things away from memory, even if the error code suggests so. I think you may have hit a very weird jackpot of errors. Make sure you are using the latest BIOS and contact Asrock for a suggestion. Maybe they need to tweak something for your RAM. Also out of curiosity see if you can ran the system at stock clocks with the offset voltage setting and observe how the error behaves. Can you upload some pics so I can see the exact settings you are using?

toutagamon honestly I went with the 4x4gb ddr4 G.Skill Ripjaws because of how they were rated on the ram.userbench mark. They were rated like top 10 for gaming speed so I went with those instead of 2x8gb. With that being said I’m still within my 30 days of returning them and getting 2x8gb ram sticks if you think that is the problem that I am running into. And I actually did have a flash update available for my motherboard and I just ran it. I’m going to put your exact settings in again and I’ll take pictures or post videos on my account so you can see if I’m doing something wrong.

Very good.

Bombel wait but what kind of graphics card do you have? What kind of overclock do you think I could get with a 1060 6gb

5.2ghz 1.345v @ 70C

@@wwaarriiss I personnally have an OC of +170Mhz on Core Clock & + 670Mhz on Memory Clock but, each graphics card's different.

@@Hateroz mines is significantly higher, but I don't think I can over clock more.

Only trial and error will answer that mate. Start lower and increase offset and frequency in smaller steps.

It should be about the same pretty much. You could reduce the offset voltage a bit I guess, but do some stress testing to be sure it is stable.

Hello mate. Are you sure you used LLC 1? If you did maybe your system cannot handle offset voltage very well. Try fixed 1.26V.

Yes I used LLC 1 but theres only 4 levels unlike your 5, maybe because its a cheaper board. I will try fixed voltage, thanks!

Still no go unfortunately. Can I use a smaller offset for 4.8ghz? I used a 50mv offset for 4.8 and it gets up to the mid 70 C when gaming

I have actually managed 30mV for 5Ghz and it's fine.. What kind of games do you play that need an 8600k to be overclocked though? So far I only use OC for my benchmarks. The 8600k is the only cpu I have left at stock, in the past decade or so. In any case, for 4.8 you can use lower offset of course. It may be your cpu or the mobo that cannot handle 5G.

@@toutagamonI only really OC'd because I thought it may be a waste leaving it at 4ghz. So you reckon leave at stock if I'm just gaming for the next 5 years? Thanks man!

offset voltage +10mV, cpu load line level 1 or level 2 if it can take it.

The z370 pro4 is a lower grade motherboard, compared to the Extreme 4. There are significant differences in their VRM, which is responsible for the stability of the cpu. However that does not mean that high overclocks are out of the question. There is always the matter of the silicon lottery, meaning your chip may not be such a good overclocker. Did you use the exact same settings? Maybe it needs a little more voltage? Don't overdo it though. I am not familiar with the pro4's bios, so I cannot really tell you what to look for.

@@toutagamon Actually, you were spot on with your remark about the VRM of the Pro 4. It is the limiting factor in this case. I had it briefly but after maxing out at 4.8 (and not even stable) on the 8600k I exchanged it for the Extreme 4. I hit 5.2 on the same CPU now and the only reason to turn it down to 5.1 was because I don't like my system becoming too noisy. I use different settings from yours though, and it may be worth noting that I was only able to get beyond 5.1 after delidding the CPU to replace the thermal compound with liquid metal. Under heavy load my system now always stays below 70c and relatively quiet.

I also have Z370 pro4 and doesn't even boot at 4.8GHz with +50mV offset. This board is really crap for OC

Did you adjust anything with the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility? I don't know for sure, but I can imagine that if the settings in the BIOS and ETU are different, that could cause issues.

It's probably your power limits. The 8700k will need more than I use in this video, due to hyperthreading and increased power requirements. As I have said before however, a user should check his overclocking for his intended use. I mean if you want 5Ghz for gaming (really not needed anyway), test your overclock in heavy games. Ie BF1 multiplayer, Assassins Creed Origins, Ashes of the Singularity benchmarks and a few runs of 3dmark. If it's ok there, no crashes, no overheating, no clock reduction, then you are good to go.

So increase the short and long term? What do you think is acceptable to bump them up to? Thanks for the great guide and fast reply.

No problem mate. A rough estimation would be to increase them by 25%, since that's how much more hyperthreading consumes and performs. Actually I am not sure if you even set it to unlimited, it would cause any problems. That is if your voltage and/or offset are reasonable. Also you can download the intel power gadget and see up to what power draw your cpu climbs to, depending on load.

It's weird to pass stress tests and crashing in games. Unfortunately I don't have pubg to test if there's some weirdness going on. Try fine tuning your voltages or lowering your clocks.

My whole computer* to freeze. I am really novice at these things but I will try to figure out something.

kiomio10 were you getting crashes before u OC?

Not really, ofcourse PUBG sometimes crashes, but in this scenario my WHOLE computer froze and I had to shut it down manually

kiomio10 PUBG is notorious for being an unfinished game. It doesn't make sense that your CPU will be fine through stress testing and not a game. I would verify the game files through steam to start off.

I don't know about z270 mate. You should check your manual. In my case, with the RAM in A1/B1 I could get even close to the 3200Mhz rating of the ram. Any attempt above 2400 would bring a crash. With terrible timings too. At A2/B2 everything is fine.

Thanks for the fast reply. I have Gskill 3000 and it runs fine in A1 B1 just thought maybe i could get more.

Come to think about it, I've OC my ram to 3466 stable before.

I guess these settings should work as well. Try 30mV instead and then go up from there if needed.

@@toutagamon ty man

Hyperthreading generally heats up cpus a lot. It comes with a performance advantage of course, but since I care mostly about games and game benchmarking, I went with the 8600k. The 2500k has served me well since 2011, so I am ok with no HT. Try turning HT off for testing and you will see quite the difference. Also Prime95 is the heaviest test out there. No gaming workload will ever be that high. I was getting around 75C at 5Ghz on Prime95.

That's a little bit ridiculous. Your cooler is offset or fan isn't spinning fast enough. If those are ok, there may be a defect in your system.

That's just how hot the 8700K gets when overclocked. Look into delidding like many others are if you want to alleviate some of the temperature issues that chip has

I don't see why not. They are essentially the same processors with higher clocks for the 9600k.

It should. Maybe it will require a little more voltage.

Glad it helped. Still a good cpu.

You actually need to use a liquid cooler

Γεια σου Στεφο. Ναι τις εχω δει και εγω αυτες τις ρυθμίσεις. Απλά νομίζω ότι η Asus βάζει μέγιστες τιμές για να μη φρενάρει ο επεξεργαστής. Δεν υπάρχει περίπτωση όμως να ξεπεράσει τιμές 120/150. Μέχρι στιγμής με αυτές τις ρυθμίσεις δεν το έχω δει να throttlαρει καθόλου. Μπορείς να κατεβάσεις το Intel® Power Gadget και θα δεις ότι δεν πάει πολύ ψηλά το wattage. 1.320V δεν είναι πολύ άσχημα για 4.7Ghz αλλά με manual ρυθμίσεις μπορείς να πας και παρακάτω. Οι ρυθμίσεις που δίνω εδώ, με +50mv offset, δίνουν 1.328V αλλά για 5Ghz. Μάλιστα είδα ότι ακόμα και με +30mv είναι ακόμα σταθερός. Πάντως όπως συνηθίζω να λέω σε όλους, ο 8600k δεν χρειάζεται πραγματικά Overclock. Τα πάει όλα σφαίρα ούτως ή άλλως. Προσωπικά εγώ το ανεβάζω στα 5 μόνο για τα benchmarks που ανεβάζω εδώ. Για καθημερινή χρήση τον έχω στοκ, με μόνο ενεργοποιημένο το multi core enhancement, απλά για να κρατάει τους πυρήνες στα 4.3 σε full load.

toutagamon φίλε μου όταν βάζω 120 και 150 με βγάζει σφάλμα στα windows οταν κάνω save kai exit ..μήπως κάνω κάτι λάθος; Επίσης παίζει ρόλο που έχω 1070 gtx και 650 τροφοδοτικό?σε ευχαριστώ για τον χρόνο σού

Και επίσης αν βάλω οφ σετ +50 και τα αφήσω στο auto to long short power limit tha uparxri kanena thema?

Δε κατάλαβα ακριβώς τι σφάλμα σου βγάζει στα Windows; Κρασάρει; Το 120/150 δεν έχουν σχέση με τη σταθερότητα. Το πολύ πολύ να κάνουν τον επεξεργαστή να throttlαρει. Τέλος πάντων το πολύ πολύ, βάλε το προφιλ που έχει για τα 4.7 και βάλε πολλαπλασιαστή στα 50.

Below 60C for gaming benchmarks @5Ghz, around 70-75C for 100% in encodings and other very heavy loads. At stock they are below 50C for gaming and around 60C for max load. I show the temps in all my benchmarking videos, in MSI Afterburner at the end of the video. Each game is different.

@TOUTAGAMON, thx for the video. Could You use AIDA32 ? > System stability test (what temp. etc). Like this > ibb.co/mNSZ7m I wonder about asrock z370 ex4. Thanks man :) @ up You have good temperatures when you play 60 @5Ghz

here's the stress test at stock with multicore enhancement. That means 4300mhz for all six cores. images2.imgbox.com/83/c7/jdus8NH1_o.png Will do an OC test once I get back home in a few days.

Hello. As promised here are my temps with AIDA stability test at 5Ghz. images2.imgbox.com/fe/49/VIitMwv8_o.png

Thx bro :) and new bios 1.30 for asrock extreme 4 www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z370%20Extreme4/index.asp#BIOS

Hello. The Pro4 has fewer sata ports, fewer usb ports, a lesser vrm and a lesser audio chip. Oh and no SLI support. Certainly not bad for the price. I mean it's like 40 euros cheaper. Still since I build a system for a long time, I prefer the better but still middle option, which is the Extreme 4. Ok there's also the Taichi which is even better that both, but the lines are getting even more blurry on the top tier.

Thank you for the fast answer! :)

Dokimase mhpws pai3ei kai me ligotero voltage offset. Px +30mV

Only if you don't want all cores to run at 4.3Ghz. Mutlicore enhancement is just a better stock speed. Also when you set manual multipliers, it is disabled anyway.

thank you.. I was going to overclock so I was wondering if I had to disable MCE myself, but you answered my question. Thanks!

Εγώ πήρα αυτήν γιατί χρειαζόμουν τα παραπάνω sata ports. 5Ghz πάει, οπότε είμαι ΟΚ. Η Μ5 φαίνεται να είναι λίγο καλύτερη στα επιμέρους χαρακτηριστικά και βέβαια είναι και ακριβότερη.

Mine shows 0.592V at idle and 1.184V at load with multicore enhancement. You most certainly don't need +50mV for stock operation. Check your settings or reset your BIOS. Something else is at fault here.

Ok thanks. I just put level1 LLC, and i get now 1.2volts at CPU-z with no +50mv... the VID on coretemp is 1.25 on all stock CPU settings. So i guess it depends what Level LLC you choose and you get the apropriate amount of real voltage on your CPU. But i dont think the stock Level5 LLC and 1.05 volts can hold up turbo boost speeds of 4.2-4.3ghz... Oh also my problem for the random freezes was one stick of my Corsair DDR4 RAM, did a memtest. Now i removed the problematic stick....

Did it work for you ? I have same
