That temperature is a kinda high if you were just gaming and it reaches above 70C. Normally it should only reach 70C or above at 100% load, which I doubt your game could. Have you tried running prime95 version 26.6 small FFT test (not blend test) on that overclock? If that overclock can...

UPDATE: (spoiler - problem solved) Here are the things that I have tried and DID NOT work:: (1) reinstalling Window (2) downgrading BIOS version, running at default BIOS setting (3) removing all overclocks (4) running at stock frequency for ram and cpu (5) disabling Hyper Threading and then...

i did get rid of the overclock and reset everything BIOS to default values. Also I have made sure that hyper threading is ON. I think in the BIOS it is still recognizing the 6 cores just fine. But idk where to obtain information on the 12 threads?. Now, back to window, after all that...

Hello guys, Could you guys please recommend / enlighten me on a case for my pc setup. I'm looking for a case with: (1) Glass side panel (just 1 is enough) (2) have really good mesh / airflow, especially in the front (because the front is where I will be mounting my 280mm AIO with...

Thank you for all of your answers guys. It was kinda annoying since the chip was able to do 5.1 GHZ at 1.34 vcore and 65C under max load but still can never get that extra 100 mhz at the expense of 1.40 vcore. I guess the chip has hit that "wall" that everyone has mentioned. It's still good...

Hello guys, So I have an i7 8700k overclocked to 5.1 Ghz all cores at 1.34 Vcore. The above setting was stress tested with Prime95 version 26.6 (non-AVX) small FFT test for 8 hours without crashing. Temperature stays under 65C because this chip was delidded and plus I'm using the EVGA 280mm...
