I am trying to overclock my i7 8700K on an Asus Prime Z370 board. I have tried voltage ranges from 1.31-1.32 and about 60secs to 2 mins in it will crash. I have read the guides etc. Temps were hovering in the 78-80c range.
I am stress testing with Realbench at the moment but also have Prime95 26.6. In realbench it crashes. CPU-Z shows "Core voltage" dropping to 1.264 as soon as I start testing. VID is hovering around 1.30-1.32 during testing. Is the crash due to Core voltage dropping so low under load? If so, what is causing this? I have LLC set to "6" in the BIOS. I am unsure what else is causing the voltage drop, if that is even my issue.
