Leaving LLC on Auto?

[TechnicallyChallenged_]

I have an 8700k + Aorus Gaming 5. All I wanted out of this OC is to hit 4.7GHz on all cores. My current settings seem ok, I get mid 70s in cinebench, mid 80s in aida with CPU/FPU/MEM and HWMonitor is reporting a max voltage of 1.308. One thing to note is my LLC is currently on AUTO and I don't feel like re testing with lower voltage and higher llc. Considering my temps and voltages are ok, can I just leave everything as is?

Thank you!

Your temp seems high for a 4.7 Ghz overclock.
I really don't think you will need 1.308 Vcore for this particular clock speed. While it is true that each chip is slightly different, usually 4.7 Ghz typically sits at 1.25 Vcore or below. Barely do I see any 8700k requiring more than 1.3 Vcore. (I have my 8700k sitting at 1.17 Vcore for 4.7 Ghz all cores for your reference).

So I would suggest lowering the Vcore a little bit incrementally (-0.05 each time) and run prime95 version 26.6 small fft test for 2 hours each time you change it. If it can handle it, go ahead and lower vcore more and repeat the process.

For LLC, depending on your motherboard, you might be able to see a description of each LLC mode. If you can, go with the flat horizontal line to ensure constant voltage is maintained at 100% cpu load.
