I bought a 8700k build yesterday with these specs

CPU - i7 8700k
Motherboard - ASUS Strix Z370-E
RAM - Gskill 16gb x2 @3200 Mhz
GPU - Zotac 1080ti
PSU - Corsair HX850

I noticed that when rendering videos my CPU temps reach around 80 and CPU voltage stays around 1.3.

I am running everything on auto in BIOS. I heard that there are some problems when running everything on auto. I am a newbie when it comes to overclocking. Kindly help me on running my CPU cooler on stock speeds.Let me know if you need some other info.
 


Thank you for the reply, I am using Coolermaster Stryker Cabinet and Corsair H115i CPU cooler. I will check those links. Thanks :)
 



Forgot one, http://www.overclock.net/t/1621347/kaby-lake-overclocking-guide-with-statistics

I use this to monitor system (select sensors only), https://www.hwinfo.com/download.php

You most likely will be able to lower vcore some.

 


Thanks a lot sir for the replies, I did what was in that video and the CPU is running at 55C at on load. With lower volts and max 3700mhz. No worries for the temps now :)
 


That dude knows what he is doing.

Good news for me is I got my 8700k, so I'll be following in your foot steps!

Uhm, did you mean 4700mgz?
 


Lol yeah, 4700mhz.... I wanted to run it at safe temps so didn't go for more..
