    Question 8700k downclocking more than AVX offset set to?

    OCed my 8700k @ 4.6ghz on all cores with 1.27v and LLC of Level 3. I set the AVX offset to 2 in BIOS but when running Prime95, I notice that the clocks go down to 4200mhz instead of 4400mhz if the offset is 2. Power limits are set to max, Core VIDs are requesting anywhere from 1.3-1.42v. When I...

I tried OCing to 5ghz and keep BSOD and crashing once I start Prime95 test. Voltage was set to 1.415v and still crashing.. I don't want to go above that voltage...

    [SOLVED] 8700k OC to 4.7ghz BSOD, not stable at 1.32v?

I keep getting a BSOD 15 minutes into Prime95. Am I doing this right with these OC settings...

    [SOLVED] Stock Non-OC i7 8700k hitting max vcore of 1.344v?

    I only enabled XMP in Bios and have multi-core enhancement disabled and my stock 8700k is hitting a max vcore of 1.344v in HWMonitor when gaming. This is causing temps to hit 75-80c after 1-2 hours of gaming. I feel like this is too high of a voltage for it to automatically be hitting if all...
