Hello,
I just installed my new i7-8700K on the AsRock Z370 Extreme 4 MOBO. My cooler is Corsair H115i, thermal paste Noctua NT-H1.
The initial load temps were okay until I got to overclocking it. I watched some videos on YouTube where it was stated that it is safe to go to 1.35 V on this chip. But when I do this, I get massive overheating. I mean close to 100 °C.
I tried to reapply the paste, using the pea method, did not help. The radiator fans are at 2000 rpm, pump is set to performance mode and Corsair Link shows 2900 rpm on the pump.
If I set 1.2 V, it's pretty stable at 4,8 GHz, but even then, when running AIDA64 stress test, the temperature on Core #1 sometimes spikes to 85 °C for a second.
When I set anything more than 1.2 V, I get 90+ after a while.
What could be the issue here? I suppose that this is not normal... Or did I just lose the silicon lottery massively?
Thanks,
Tomas
