Wanted to overclock my new PC
NOTE: I HAVE NOT DELIDDED YET AND I AM PLANNING ON DOING IT TOMORROW OR IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS
.
I started at 4.8 GHZ and was able to get it stable at 1.20 V with idle temps at 39-41 C and Load at 67-72 C.These look pretty normal to me and wasn't too far from my temps pre-OC.I then tried 4.9 at 1.23 V and my idle temps are similar at 40-41 C but the Load temps are strange, 4 of my cores were averaging around high 60's low 70's with Max in the 80's. However, 2 of my cores are in the 80's, maxing out at 90-92 C, which I'm sure is probably not that good...I am not even going to try to push to 5.0 GHZ until I delid.
My questions are:
1. I am wondering what temps people are getting on their i7-8700K, pre-Delid, when overclocked 4.8 to 5.0 GHZ
2. Why are the temperatures on the cores are so inconsistent. Is that normal to have some cores much hotter than the others while under load/running stress test? If not, is there a solution to fix this? Maybe I didn't apply my thermal paste correctly when installing my CPU cooler?
3. How come on my CPU-Z, the Core Voltage shown is different from the settings that I manually put on the UEFI?for example, the image says 1.184 when I set the voltage at 1.23?
Opinions and any information will help! Thank you!
