Hey peeps, been a while since I've done my last 'best possible' oc (back in the haswell days) and it's my first time using an Asrock board, so things are a little bit off for me (was constantly using Gigabyte up to this point).
I've got the 8700k and board back in 2018 and after delidding it I went on and just auto'ed everything, set LLC to level 3 and hit the 50 all core. Worked fine for a while but after around 6 months I (during the summer of 2019, so heat was probably the culprit) I'd start getting bluescreens, so I dialed it down to a 4.8Ghz, which has been running up to now autoed on 1.35v according to hwmonitor.
I decided today is the day to start understanding the Asrock bios and as far as I could find ocing guides for my board or the taichi online, they're kind of extremely shallow/basic, and I'd love if anyone can share any tips for ocing on this board.
My current (hopefully stable as I've been running Aida64 CPU+memory stress for about half an hour now) OC is still at 4.8 all core, 1.225v with LLC level 3 (HWMonitor shows it bumping to around 1.332-1.335 constantly and peaking at around 1.35 on every core) with temps ranging from the high 50s to 70C and peaking at 75. I know there's still more head room, but if I can get some tips or advice to what else I can play with (in terms of the CPU, I'll play around with memory later) other than CPU voltage and LLC level to max out this CPU, it would be great!
Specs: 8700K Delidded (cryonaut between die and IHS and mx4 to cooler)
Deepcool Captain EX240 with Corsair HD120s on it (clearly not the best cooling solution but it does the job well enough for now, as I don't have the budget to upgrade)
Asrock Extreme4 Z390
G Skill 2x8gb 3600Mhz CL17
Palit GTX 1080 Super Jetstream
Define R6 (front 3xCorsair HD120, top rad with 2xHD120s in push)
Thanks!
