I have an 8700k delided with rocket 88 coper IHS and the maximus hero X. Stable for over 8 hours on Prime 95 at 5.252 GHz. Don't be too afraid of voltage when you get the cooling sorted out. Are your water blocks in need of cleaning? Mine got sludge in the fins before and they are made to be...

I think I should have asked what is the highest volts people have used on this chip and, if they fried it, at what voltage was this.

Also curious if using AVX improves stability without affecting benching. I've never dealt with that on previous builds.

AI Suites I only use for monitoring. The temps aren't incorrect as many think, it's socket temps compared to core temps. I use it because it is easier to keep track of everything when benching. I'm not exceeding low 80s for core temps. Which is about 70C in AI Suites. Temps are definitely...

Hello, I realize 5.3 GHz isn't needed but I'm pushing for bragging rights. In AI Suites my CPU temp is showing about 70C under 100% load with a VCore fixed at 1.50 volts. In HWmonitor, low 80s. 5.2 GHz very stable at 1.425 volts which is what Silicon Lottery suggests but they also suggest...
