Best overclocking tutorial on the internet! Would be nice, although maybe not exactly what your main viewers want, a tutorial about each of those bios options and how they work togheter. Seems too much automation nowadays with naming schemes that are sometimes confusing. Thank you very much!
I recently purchased this board and your overclocking tutorial was spot on and very helpful. Thank you very much for providing such great instructions.
Outstanding review, only thing for me I don't like about this board is the position of the usb 3.0 header. Thanks to my case design its difficult to get it connected, much prefer boards with it located on the top right side close to the 24pin. +Would love to get your thoughts on the Gigabyte Z370 Aorus gaming 7
I agree, which is why I bought this and it does the job. www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA9F943Y0325&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-_-Cables+-+Printer+%28Parallel%29+Cables-_-9SIA9F943Y0325&gclid=Cj0KCQiAzrTUBRCnARIsAL0mqczPsV1vIT7R6Xp21a6jH2OwJOCgQAwzmR gp9mkA7Q96mtRqkAfDSNwaAt0lEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
Just finished my Intel i7 8700K build, and also made a video about it, you know where to find it ;). I must say that I really like the performance of this processor. I combined it with the Asus Maximus X and overclocked it to 5.2 GHZ. p.s. der8auer, you are featured at the end of my video...
Depends on your cooler I think. Air cool plebs might need to delid. Might get hot running some prime 95 but for practical uses/gaming you should be well within temp range.
Eber Hwang depends on your cooling. I use 8700k non delid on this board with a 360 aio and only hit 85c in aida/prime 95 big stress tests at 5ghz at 1.35
Orange83 i just built my 8700k/maximus x hero. Holy hell its a beast. I had a z270 board die on me so i just decided to upgrade (7700k paid for half almost lol) but the performance is well worth the upgrade. Especially seeing how all good z270 boards are non existant anymore....
You should always re-glue it. One bump and you just cracked your dye. Takes 5 minutes to just go around the outside corners with some clear super glue.
The motherboard comes out of the box with a plastic cover over the cpu socket. Most people just remove this plastic cover and toss it. However, during CPU installation this cover is designed to be left in place exactly as it comes out of the box in the retention mechanism and it is automatically pushed out as you close the locking lever. It is designed to help hold the IHS in position. Here is an example of the technique, ua-cam.com/video/97pfHOcLcgg/v-deo.html
Personally, I don't like the super glue concept. Imo, RTV Silicone is better because it allows for the thermal expansion and contraction the dissimilar materials will face under heat cycling. Personally I don't like the corner method, Imo it's better to bond the entire perimeter leaving only a small vented portion like the factory did. I believe you end up with a more consistent Z height under mounting pressure. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
Excellent detail and tutorial. I have the new Maximus X Formula on an EK water setup. I was able to easily get 5.0 ghz using this guide without a delid for a first test of my setup. As expected using der8auer's prime95 testing I was seeing temps bounce around the 80c mark. The vcore was set to 1.35v as a start. I then pulled the cpu and did the delid with Thermal Grizzly just like der8auer and reinstalled using Arctic Silver (because I had it on hand) between the IHS and EK cpu water block. I saw a 20-22c drop in temps running prime95. Pretty amazing difference on the delid if you use liquid metal. After temps were bouncing around 60c I decided to bump up to 5.2ghz and also bump the cpu cache up to 4.5ghz. No issues at 5.2ghz after 30 minutes in prime95. AVX instructions are disabled in the latest prime95 version, by the way. This run was with the vcore at 1.33 in the bios. I did see failures at 1.31v on the vcore and since the bump back up to 1.33, there have been no failures. I'm very glad I found this guide... it was exactly what I was looking for with my setup. I"m feeling like I got some pretty good silicon in my 8700K, but the real win was with the delid for overclocking head room. Thanks again der8auer! mg
Thank you so much for this OC guide. It will really help me when I build my first PC in a few weeks (waiting for cpu availability in stores) and give it a mild overclock.
Thank you for this guide it was super helpfull been using it with a asus maximus x formula and a 8700k not delited. 5Ghz is vcpu 1.36 volt and 85 degree max temp and lots of noise mostly run at 4.9 or 4.8 Ghz and it stays around 77-65 degree and pretty quite. But i see something that confused me, i set my vcpu to 1.34 but the vcpu still uses 1.36 volt in my monitor app and the lcd on the mainboard. I taught it was a hard limit you set? I was also wondering if you seen some decreases in score after updating for windows 10 1803 or 1809 to windows 10 1903. ( i did clean install of 1903 insiders edition. month or so ago ) And i found it looked great and worked better windows it self but when i started benchmarking and gaming i got like 5-10 fps less in games and these are some of my benchmarks. Today 27-5-2019 after new update form windows for 1903 Cinabench score 1523 on a 4.8 Ghz These are scores form 2 just after install fresh installs, i redid the test a couple of times but the score were al around these scores. Cinabench score 1402 windows 10 1903 4.9 Ghz Cinabench score 1522 windows 10 1803 4.7 Ghz Heaven benchmark 2850 win 10 1903 at 4.9 Ghz Heaven benchmark 2790 win 10 1903 at 4.8 Ghz latest update 27-5-2019 Heaven benchmark 2948 win 10 1803 at stock speed 4.7 Ghz 3d mark time spy 7838 with 4.9 Ghz win 10 1903 3d mark time spy 7880 with 4.7 Ghz win 10 1803 3d mark time spy 8164 with 4.9 Ghz win 10 1803 You probably do a lot more benchmarks then i do so i was wondering if you see the same thing ? Or if you have not upgraded to that version it should be in your normal windows updates around this month and i wonder if you see the same score drops?
Update: loaded same settings but clocked down to 48. Ran your prime95 test for 32 minutes with 0 errors but a couple cores hit 93c this is on noctua nhd15 cpu fans maxed needless to say delid coming soon. Thanks for the reply and the great video you’ve gained a fan :)
This video is great, thanks for explaining all of the settings. There are a lot of videos out there where they tell you to change a setting and not explain why. Thanks to this my 8700k is sitting comfortably @5ghz on a Gaming M5.
I havent delidded and would like to hit 4.7ghz with lower temps and voltage, should i change any of the other settings? I did everything on the video except set 4.7 and voltage 1.27 and running fine so far
I take it if I have ASRock - Z370 Extreme4 this guide can still apply to it right?except maybe load line calibration. I want to do the same mild 4.7ghz OC w/ 1.27v peter lemarc did.
Randall Miller do you think this will resolve my core volt issue? I overclocked to 4.6 and with 1.26 voltage but the voltage sometimes went up and down (between 2.16 - 2.31) which concerned me. Also, when running prime95 the clock speed dropped, any idea why that is?
@@CarlosM-wz1tx I was using 1.25 volts with a 4.7 gigahertz on all core. My temps would never hit higher 72 c using occt. After turning the load line calibration down I was able to overclock using a little higher voltage going up to 4.8 gigahertz on all cores at 1.27 to 1.28 volt. I would just experiment what's the differences I personally like occt and I watch the voltage spikes and temperature spikes on all cores in real time and I look for stability, and consistency.
Whenever I do the stress test it always reverts to a 47 multiplier and stays there. On High Performance power settings. In Cinebench and Destiny 2 it will jump between 47 and 50 What would cause this?
If you're following the video instructions, note that he says to use a specific version of Prime95. The AVX offset of 3 will drop the CPU clock by 0.3 on newer versions, which use AVX instructions.
Thank you so much for creating this. I was hitting mid 90c running Prime95 incorrectly. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. So far I’m hitting 5.1GHz at 1.26v :)
I would love that as well. Settings for them if they are the same. Got my self the ASRock Fatal1ty Z370 Professional Gaming, and one of Bauers 5,1Ghz advanced editions.
If anyone is getting less then 5 ghz such as 4.7 ghz then I believe it is from the avx instruction core ratio negative offset. Do not change it to 3 leave it at 0 and then it should stay at 5 ghz when running applications or tests. @6:05
OMG this video explains so much!!!! thank you for making it. Every time I did an OC I would get stable clocks around 5.2, but it always felt like the cpu was throttling. There would be little pauses for example, but now that I applied all of these settings from your video everything is running nice and smoothly.
Bain Slayz. He asked for a guide. And you can do the same with the Aorus 7 no problem. Quality is about the same. Asus is just overpriced as usual. Even a Taichi gives you same results for 100 dollars less.
NickyB well technically asus is a bit better even if it was slightly better that doesn’t mean they are the same it’s like saying 1.99tb is exactly like 2tb there’s a difference even if it’s slight
The only OC tutorial which gave me a stable overclock on my 9700k (with 1.3v instead of 1.35v). I was having all sorts of crashes freezes etc before. Thank you for this!
I can get my 8700K to 5.1Ghz with 1.4V. I delid, used liquid metal and have the Kraken X62. I haven't gone past 70c under load. My question is since my thermals are so good, what do you think is the max voltage for this CPU. Thanks! I tried 5.2 with 1.42v but its not stable. I am worried to go past that vCore.
my one goes to 5.1 @ 1.375; 5.2 @ 1.425 and boot to windows 5.3 at 1.49 - I didn't put it under load to not fry it :) delided keeps temperatures up to 82-83 when under full AVX load when 5.1 and around 70-73 without AVX.
R Pickles Followed all steps and on cpu-z, core voltage is 0.672 V. Only difference is I did 48 instead of 50 overclock because I’m not delidded. Help please. Thanks! 8700k/Maximus x hero z370/ z trident 3200 16 gb
@@der8auer Hey der8auer, I REALLY SEEK HELP with my OC! It' s a one year old post, so i replied to your comment in hope that you would see my post. I understand you must be very busy, but I really hope you can find a few minutes to answer my question. Thank you. My system: -i7 8700k (delided), -MB Asus Prime z370-a, -AIO Corsair h115i, -3200 mhz, corsir ram 2x8gb So I followed your instructions step by step. I believe I have a very bad chip, because nothing seems to work. My only stable OC settings (Prime95 26.6): - everything the same as you instructed - AVX offset 1 - 48 on all cores - core voltage 1.350 I managed to pass Prime95 26.6 custom for 21 hours (30 minutes of 1344k, 8k, 800k, 864K everything OK). Cinebench r15 also fine, OCCT seems fine. One hour of gameplay of BFV using AVX, no crashes. THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH PRIME95 29.8. Although I did passed custom 1344k, 8k, 800k, 864k, I can not pass "small FFT test", everything I tried caused eather a BSOD or stopped workers or couldn' t run all cores at 100% from the start. Can not even pass 47 all cores at 1.390 with AVX 0. What is wrong is my motherboard not good enough, is something wrong with my chip? Or am I doing something wrong in the BIOS? Thank you so much.
6 years later i'm overclocking my 8700k, i think this is the first time i've got a nice silicon, my last processor, an 7700k managed to do 5.0Ghz but with 1.35v, this 8700k does 4.9 at 1.270v fixed, that's amazing.
How much do you think that OC will affect CPU longevity? I know it's an old myth at this point and it's almost impossible to be completely sure about it, but.. How many years should a 8700K @ 5.0GHz with 1.35V serve you, for example gaming only workload, not rendering? Versus the stock 8700K for example? Do you think we shorten the lifespan of the CPU by a pretty big percentage like 30-40% or it's so small that it doesn't even matter? :) Cheers
I've heard people say will reduce a CPU life by 40-50%. My answer is always 50% of what? A stock CPU technically could run for several decades without issue. You can buy CPUs from the 90s that still work perfectly fine, they are just obsolete but they are not defective. OC is not going to reduce CPU life unless you do something to cause damage. If you keep everything within temp range and voltage there is no damage to be done.
i've now got my 8700k, runs at 5.1ghz at 1.424v idle and 1.344v under load, i'm pretty sure it will last me at least 5 years of heavy use. although intel's datasheet says 1.5v is the max safe voltage, i'd consider 1.45v an upper limit, because of max voltage overshoot after heavy load.
Am I correct in saying you need it enabled / auto if you plan on using adaptive, if you still want the voltage stepdown working, to keep it running cooler when idle?
I like your videos man, but I have to say... Originally overcklocking was used by poor people to get a little bit more performance for less money. Now it's just marketing nonsense, for my eye. Think about it: you paying extra for OC-able CPU, extra for OC-support chipset, extra for powerful VRM's, extra for thousands of phases. I'm not even start about RGB and PCB-painting. And what do you get after all? +300-400 MHz (4.7 -> 5.1)? I mean - does it worth it?.. It is so funny to watch how people OC their CPUs and goes like "look what I get! plus 5-10 FPS!!!" who cares that 5-10 FPS cost him about +50-70%...
You forget that when your hardware is showing its age those extra 10 fps is the difference between buying a new pc or "stretching" it a few more years. Thats why i always buy OC parts. I bought a 8700k and a 1080ti a few months ago and im playing on 3440x1440 @ 100hz. Everything is on stock for now because its pointless to overclock. Ill do that in about a year or 2 when my hardware cant keep up anymore.
8700k actually runs 4.3ghz when you’re using all cores, so a jump to 5.1ghz is an 18% jump. That’s 2 generations worth of performance. It’s not nothing.
When you're doing more intensive CPU work like rendering and editing things that can take hours it can cut a lot of time. And the reason you have to overclock them is because they don't come that way out of the box which you already know because they don't guarantee stability in life of the CPU. But I agree it shouldn't cost more for a k chip.
thanks soo much from kuwait.....my first overclock and my pc just changed alot with overclocking the ram to its speed and with the cpu and everything is stable .....keep going man u have my support
These exact settings got me 8 hours Prime stable at 5GHz. Thank you good sir. No delid, I get some 1 second high 80s maxes but high 70s is where it stays under 100% load.
Best overclocking guide in youtube!. Everything works perfect for my 8700k following this guide. Running Maximus hero, 5 Ghz @1.28v, avx2. No delid, Noctua U12A with Kryonaut paste. Load temps don't exceed 80 and idle at 31 in view 71 case. Thanks for excellent videos, will follow when I buy 10900k one day! :)
Coming from overclocking a i5-655K (with t8y of TeamAU) to 5ghz, shortly before it died, and spending a lot of time overclocking on X58 (i7-975XE) and Z77 (i5-3570K - 4.4Ghz @ 1.35v stable), I hit a wall trying to get above 4.7Ghz on my i7-8700K. Thankyou so much for this video Der8auer. I watched it 3 times before taking notes of every step, and testing your settings. PERFECT RESULT! After just couple of minutes in XTU, the temperatures were just too high for my old Corsair H100i to handle, and thermal throttling ensued. I think it's time for a delid. I am now on 4.5Ghz @ 1.2v (LLC 3, around 1.12v-1.16v under load in Windows) for my daily clock, using a couple of things I learned from this video (Your explanation of SVID, BCLK Aware Adaptive Voltage, and AVX really helped!) Excellent work as usual der8auer. I was pushing 1.4v and getting no where. Perhaps a video explaining a few more of the settings that are common among BIOS that can affect overclocking would be helpful to myself and many others? Understanding what each setting does is a large part of successful overclocking. I've regained the confidence to continue tweaking this CPU until I have it "just right" for a low power, high performance daily use, and a "balls-to-the-wall" overclock for getting back in to benchmarking again.
I've been planning a new build for a little while now, and ordered this board and the *der8auer Core i7-8700K @ 5.0 GHz - Pro Edition* from *Caseking* yesterday(along with other things) mostly because of this review/tutorial on the Maximus X. Other reviewers are also rating this pretty high, so it was a no brainer for me. Thank you Roman, for making videos like this, stressing the important features(like number and quality of the VRMs/chokes and power delivery), instead of the looks(ooooooh RGBullshit).
Awesome instructions. I ran these settings on a ASUS TUF Z370 Pro Gaming mobo, i7 8700K (no delid), Corsair Vengenace DDR4 3200 RGB, Corsair water cooling and it worked above my expectations. VCORE under load at 1.324 volts, idle at 1.344 volts, max at 1.360 volts. VRM 6 phase , temp at 76 degrees Celsius, CPU temps, package, idle at 37 degrees Celsius, under load at 76 degrees Celsius, highest core temp 81 degrees Celsius. 3rd Cinebench in a row score 1609. It's nice to know my machine runs well with these reasonable temps, but I have no use of a overclocked machine, because this is my music studio pc (Steinberg Cubase Pro 9.5 using AVX instructions) and the audio latency and CPU load was much higher overclocked, then with the ASUS Optimized default settings. So, I'm back to the Optimized default settings, but probably going to delid my CPU, and use 360 water cooling so my fans make less noise. BTW ambient temp was 29 degrees Celsius and water cooling idle at 32 degrees Celsius. I don't know if It was safe to do this without deliding and I would like to hear some opinions about my overclock, especially how to lower the audio latency. I think I'm going to try this overclock without XMP enabled or lower DDR4 timings. Thanx for this great instructional video. Edit: Tried some RAM frequency settings and It runs better at 3000 Mhz. Less latency and less CPU consumption and no more cpu spikes. I think my corsair ram has a to low voltage on this mobo to run at 3200 Mhz. It's crazy, but It's at 1.376 volts.
Thank you so much for this video, you see this is why UA-cam is so important!!! This is a real tutorial on overclocking in this configuration. I follow your steps and I’m super stable on 5 GHz with the Corsair h100i v2 AIO. I’ll be trying another multiplayer’s once I install my custom loop!!!
Nice video, mate. I enjoyed watching. Im running the same motherboard and cpu but 3GhZ Corsair Vengeance RAM and currently just a cheap stock-cooler. I plan on cooling the setup with the Alphacool Eisbaer 360 cooler very soon and plan on running my setup @5GhZ. I'll just put in the values you have here. Not much of an OC expert, so I rely on experts like you to walk me through the process. Thanks again!
I was actually struggling to find LLC in my motherboard Asus z370-f found it because of your tutorial, and make it easier hearing the explanations and reasoning for changes. Thanks.
update on delid. Delidded and thermal grizzly applied also swapped to a custom loop (ek supremacy evo block) now running stable 50 oc at 1.385V ran prime 95 for an hour with no issues voltage went to 1.402 and a max package temp of 66c super happy with how everything turned out thank you again for the great video will probably try to push it a little further would like to know how high i can get my sample to go =)
Thank you for making this very informative video. Since I am building and new PC with the ASUS Maximum X Hero motherboard and Intel Core i7-8700K CPU, this video will be a great guide when I start to overclock my system. Al Heim
Thanks so much for putting this video up. It really helped me fine tune my Asus Z370 / 8700K setup without having to get a degree in mechanical engineering 😂 You’re awesome!
I just used your delid kit on my i7 8700k and went from thermal throttling at 5GHz 100c on stress test down to max temp 57c under 100% load, all cores 5.01GHz, idle 29c. Thx m8
I am using a 120 mm radiator push pull fan. Load line calibration level 6 was to unstable, level 5 gave more stable voltage control. I was able to reduce Temps to 80 degrees C and lower for a whole hour at 4.8 gigahertz on all cores. Latest bios, 1801. Thank you for this great tutorial.
Thank you, sir, for this video! Very informative, and just what I needed, after a day long session of putting together a new build with a delidded cpu. If I may ask, what do I need to do from here to see how far it goes? Do I just increase the Core Ratio Limit up by 1, and restart? Or do I also need to increase other values as I do so?
Thank you for this in-depth and easy-to-follow overclocking guide! I use the previous generation (Maximus IX Hero) paired with a i7 7700K. Is it possible to follow these steps with that? And if so, anything I should keep in mind? PC-specs: Corsair RM750x 750W PSU Asus Maximus IX Hero Intel Core i7 7700k (not delidded) Corsair Hydro Series H115i CPU Cooler Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000MHz 16GB Samsung PM961 SSD 512GB M.2 NVMe Seagate Firecuda 2TB 3.5" SSHD ASUS GeForce GTX 1080Ti ROG Strix, 11GB GDDR5X, 1569/1683MHz Sisto
Your video is extremely helpful. Thank you! It would be interesting to see how this type of OC is compared to adaptive mode. I've been experimenting with adaptive but it is much more complex and more difficult to stabilize! Edit: Well i think i am getting somewhere with adaptive! i will update soon.
How simple ... I've tried before, where the more detailed setup but mostly I had the same performance as now. Temperatures 20 ° lower. I have 8600k, Maximus XI Hero but it also works. I send greetings from the Czech Republic
Thank you so much for this guide. I managed to overclock my i7 8700k to 4.8 Ghz @ 1.250 volts (Only using 1.216, so i might change that) ran the stress test for about an hour with no complications and my temperatures were around 68 degrees. Hopefully they go down to the low 60s once i drop the voltage to 1.220. I still haven't played any games, really excited to start though. Thanks again.
Thanks for the comprehensive overclock tutorial. I have a question: If I want to increase the benchmark score in 3Dmark Firestrike 1080p or fully utilize GPUs. What kind of overclock speed is the most important? Currently, my CPU is overclocked the same as your tutorial. GPUs are 1080Ti SLI. Ram is 64gb 3000MHz 15-17-17-35 with XMP profile.
So, thanks for this super informative video got my PC running 5ghz at 1.35v seeing temps of around 50-80c at max depending on games and work load. need to tweak some settings try and get it a little cooler but no blue screens and is stable at these OC settings. Thank you sir I appreciate the guide! Ps my 8700k is not delided 👍
For people who have the issue about down clocking under stress test in prime95, like 5.0Ghz to 4.7Ghz, is because the Avx instruction set to 3, if you take a close look of what is avx when you move to that tab, you can see the explanation at the very bottom of you bios ui.
Awesome, was waiting for this one. Thanks for all your work, der8auer!!
I really appreciate it.
I appreciate you doing both language versions of these types of videos dude, I know its probably a lot of extra work, but I love watching them!!
Yea but I'm getting used to it :D Once I started it there was no way back
Best overclocking tutorial on the internet!
Would be nice, although maybe not exactly what your main viewers want, a tutorial about each of those bios options and how they work togheter.
Seems too much automation nowadays with naming schemes that are sometimes confusing.
Thank you very much!
Thank you for this. I am currently picking out parts for my 8700k build and I was wanting the Hero MB for it.
I followed this guide way back on my 8700k paired with the Strix 1080 in January and have experienced no issues to this date. Thank you for the help.
Hi Der8auer, Thank you for the video!
What cooler and fans are you using in this video?
Ek supremancy evo 280mm radiator
This is by far the best guide I've ever seen. You take you time to explain each thing you changing and telling why u doing so. GREAT GREAT GUIDE !!
Thanks, appreciate that :)
I recently purchased this board and your overclocking tutorial was spot on and very helpful. Thank you very much for providing such great instructions.
Outstanding review, only thing for me I don't like about this board is the position of the usb 3.0 header. Thanks to my case design its difficult to get it connected, much prefer boards with it located on the top right side close to the 24pin.
+Would love to get your thoughts on the Gigabyte Z370 Aorus gaming 7
I agree, which is why I bought this and it does the job. www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA9F943Y0325&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-_-Cables+-+Printer+%28Parallel%29+Cables-_-9SIA9F943Y0325&gclid=Cj0KCQiAzrTUBRCnARIsAL0mqczPsV1vIT7R6Xp21a6jH2OwJOCgQAwzmR

Same here, or use the 3.1 header and grab a converter cable.
Just finished my Intel i7 8700K build, and also made a video about it, you know where to find it ;).
I must say that I really like the performance of this processor. I combined it with the Asus Maximus X and overclocked it to 5.2 GHZ.
p.s. der8auer, you are featured at the end of my video...
Is all this "delid" talk necessary to achieve these OC speeds?
Depends on your cooler I think. Air cool plebs might need to delid. Might get hot running some prime 95 but for practical uses/gaming you should be well within temp range.
Eber Hwang. Mine is running on 4.9 ghz @ 1.28 v. If i go higher temps go to 95+ C. This is on a p360 EKWB kit that is only cooling the CPU.
Eber Hwang depends on your cooling. I use 8700k non delid on this board with a 360 aio and only hit 85c in aida/prime 95 big stress tests at 5ghz at 1.35
Orange83 i just built my 8700k/maximus x hero. Holy hell its a beast. I had a z270 board die on me so i just decided to upgrade (7700k paid for half almost lol) but the performance is well worth the upgrade. Especially seeing how all good z270 boards are non existant anymore....
Definitely the best overclocking guide I've found. Thanks a lot!!!!!
These are fantastic tutorials! So much info packed in 12 minutes. Thanks for all the tips.
Thank you :)
My i5 8600k never reaches 5.0Ghz, I even choose high performance in the w10 power settings. The maximum that I get is 4.718.4 MHz
I found that the CPU alignment tool also keeps the IHS from sliding when closing the mounting bracket, if you delid the CPU and don't re-glue it.
Yes absolutely. I said that in the German version but I think I forgot it in the english version :D
You should always re-glue it. One bump and you just cracked your dye. Takes 5 minutes to just go around the outside corners with some clear super glue.
The motherboard comes out of the box with a plastic cover over the cpu socket. Most people just remove this plastic cover and toss it. However, during CPU installation this cover is designed to be left in place exactly as it comes out of the box in the retention mechanism and it is automatically pushed out as you close the locking lever. It is designed to help hold the IHS in position.
Here is an example of the technique, ua-cam.com/video/97pfHOcLcgg/v-deo.html
Personally, I don't like the super glue concept. Imo, RTV Silicone is better because it allows for the thermal expansion and contraction the dissimilar materials will face under heat cycling. Personally I don't like the corner method, Imo it's better to bond the entire perimeter leaving only a small vented portion like the factory did. I believe you end up with a more consistent Z height under mounting pressure. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
Johnny Appleseed its a tiny bit cooler with out glueing it back so.
Excellent detail and tutorial. I have the new Maximus X Formula on an EK water setup. I was able to easily get 5.0 ghz using this guide without a delid for a first test of my setup. As expected using der8auer's prime95 testing I was seeing temps bounce around the 80c mark. The vcore was set to 1.35v as a start. I then pulled the cpu and did the delid with Thermal Grizzly just like der8auer and reinstalled using Arctic Silver (because I had it on hand) between the IHS and EK cpu water block. I saw a 20-22c drop in temps running prime95. Pretty amazing difference on the delid if you use liquid metal. After temps were bouncing around 60c I decided to bump up to 5.2ghz and also bump the cpu cache up to 4.5ghz. No issues at 5.2ghz after 30 minutes in prime95. AVX instructions are disabled in the latest prime95 version, by the way. This run was with the vcore at 1.33 in the bios. I did see failures at 1.31v on the vcore and since the bump back up to 1.33, there have been no failures. I'm very glad I found this guide... it was exactly what I was looking for with my setup. I"m feeling like I got some pretty good silicon in my 8700K, but the real win was with the delid for overclocking head room. Thanks again der8auer! mg
Thank you so much for this OC guide. It will really help me when I build my first PC in a few weeks (waiting for cpu availability in stores) and give it a mild overclock.
Thank you for this guide it was super helpfull been using it with a asus maximus x formula and a 8700k not delited.
5Ghz is vcpu 1.36 volt and 85 degree max temp and lots of noise
mostly run at 4.9 or 4.8 Ghz and it stays around 77-65 degree and pretty quite.
But i see something that confused me, i set my vcpu to 1.34 but the vcpu still uses 1.36 volt in my monitor app and the lcd on the mainboard. I taught it was a hard limit you set?
I was also wondering if you seen some decreases in score after updating for windows 10 1803 or 1809 to windows 10 1903. ( i did clean install of 1903 insiders edition. month or so ago )
And i found it looked great and worked better windows it self but when i started benchmarking and gaming i got like 5-10 fps less in games and these are some of my benchmarks.
Today 27-5-2019 after new update form windows for 1903 Cinabench score 1523 on a 4.8 Ghz
These are scores form 2 just after install fresh installs, i redid the test a couple of times but the score were al around these scores.
Cinabench score 1402 windows 10 1903 4.9 Ghz
Cinabench score 1522 windows 10 1803 4.7 Ghz
Heaven benchmark 2850 win 10 1903 at 4.9 Ghz
Heaven benchmark 2790 win 10 1903 at 4.8 Ghz latest update 27-5-2019
Heaven benchmark 2948 win 10 1803 at stock speed 4.7 Ghz
3d mark time spy 7838 with 4.9 Ghz win 10 1903
3d mark time spy 7880 with 4.7 Ghz win 10 1803
3d mark time spy 8164 with 4.9 Ghz win 10 1803
You probably do a lot more benchmarks then i do so i was wondering if you see the same thing ?
Or if you have not upgraded to that version it should be in your normal windows updates around this month and i wonder if you see the same score drops?
Wouldn't it be nice if he actually took time to answer these questions?
Loadline level 6?
Update: loaded same settings but clocked down to 48. Ran your prime95 test for 32 minutes with 0 errors but a couple cores hit 93c this is on noctua nhd15 cpu fans maxed needless to say delid coming soon. Thanks for the reply and the great video you’ve gained a fan :)
Thanks :) And thanks for the feedback. Have fun delidding!
Thank you been waiting on an overclocking guide for my mobo. Will follow this when I get home.
This video is great, thanks for explaining all of the settings. There are a lot of videos out there where they tell you to change a setting and not explain why. Thanks to this my 8700k is sitting comfortably @5ghz on a Gaming M5.
I havent delidded and would like to hit 4.7ghz with lower temps and voltage, should i change any of the other settings? I did everything on the video except set 4.7 and voltage 1.27 and running fine so far
Nope, no need to change anything else. As long as temps are fine youre good.
I take it if I have ASRock - Z370 Extreme4 this guide can still apply to it right?except maybe load line calibration. I want to do the same mild 4.7ghz OC w/ 1.27v peter lemarc did.
Change your load line calibration from 6 down to five especially with your overclock you'll get more stable voltage in lower temperatures.
Randall Miller do you think this will resolve my core volt issue? I overclocked to 4.6 and with 1.26 voltage but the voltage sometimes went up and down (between 2.16 - 2.31) which concerned me. Also, when running prime95 the clock speed dropped, any idea why that is?
@@CarlosM-wz1tx I was using 1.25 volts with a 4.7 gigahertz on all core. My temps would never hit higher 72 c using occt. After turning the load line calibration down I was able to overclock using a little higher voltage going up to 4.8 gigahertz on all cores at 1.27 to 1.28 volt. I would just experiment what's the differences I personally like occt and I watch the voltage spikes and temperature spikes on all cores in real time and I look for stability, and consistency.
Whenever I do the stress test it always reverts to a 47 multiplier and stays there. On High Performance power settings. In Cinebench and Destiny 2 it will jump between 47 and 50 What would cause this?
Throttling down due to AVX instructions maybe?
same problem when i run prime 95 the cpu goes back to 4.7 what cause this
If you're following the video instructions, note that he says to use a specific version of Prime95. The AVX offset of 3 will drop the CPU clock by 0.3 on newer versions, which use AVX instructions.
@MrLalzor is this safe?
Thank you so much for creating this. I was hitting mid 90c running Prime95 incorrectly. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. So far I’m hitting 5.1GHz at 1.26v :)
Thanks for doing this. I'm not an extreme overclocker, so sticking with your stable base and getting more out of my chip is fine by me
How about a guide with Asrock motherboards? Can't find any on youtube.
I would love that as well. Settings for them if they are the same. Got my self the ASRock Fatal1ty Z370 Professional Gaming, and one of Bauers 5,1Ghz advanced editions.
Looking for this too. ASrock z370m pro 4 here.
If anyone is getting less then 5 ghz such as 4.7 ghz then I believe it is from the avx instruction core ratio negative offset. Do not change it to 3 leave it at 0 and then it should stay at 5 ghz when running applications or tests. @6:05
Noob question: Is that safe though?
If my goal from the start is 4.7ghz I don't need to put an offset right?
Having my rig set to 3 caused an audio/video sync issue with pops and horrible audio lagging behind video and setting it back to 0 cured that problem.
@@SusFuss hey setting it back to 0 still fix the audio/video lag issue? I'm currently experiencing this too haha
@@skypetaa Any results, im currently experiencing this as well
OMG this video explains so much!!!! thank you for making it. Every time I did an OC I would get stable clocks around 5.2, but it always felt like the cpu was throttling. There would be little pauses for example, but now that I applied all of these settings from your video everything is running nice and smoothly.
der8aauer's the best. This is better than the ASUS tutorials that I have seen in the past and they make the board.
what was your cpu cooller btw?
EK Supremacy Evo with 240 Radiator :)
danke
thanks
Sir
Can you do same thing with Aorus gigabyte z370 gaming 7 ?
Thanks in advance
Fırat BAKAN. Yes please!
Yes you can.
Yes you can but not as good as the asus boards
Bain Slayz. He asked for a guide. And you can do the same with the Aorus 7 no problem. Quality is about the same. Asus is just overpriced as usual. Even a Taichi gives you same results for 100 dollars less.
NickyB well technically asus is a bit better even if it was slightly better that doesn’t mean they are the same it’s like saying 1.99tb is exactly like 2tb there’s a difference even if it’s slight
Patiently waited for this video, super helpful. Thank you!
The only OC tutorial which gave me a stable overclock on my 9700k (with 1.3v instead of 1.35v). I was having all sorts of crashes freezes etc before. Thank you for this!
hello it's normal to have vcore fixe at 1,35 always 7/24 no risk
I can get my 8700K to 5.1Ghz with 1.4V. I delid, used liquid metal and have the Kraken X62. I haven't gone past 70c under load. My question is since my thermals are so good, what do you think is the max voltage for this CPU. Thanks! I tried 5.2 with 1.42v but its not stable. I am worried to go past that vCore.
5.1 at 1.4 volts? Jeez
1,40 V should be pretty safe. I wouldn't go over 1,45 tho
my one goes to 5.1 @ 1.375; 5.2 @ 1.425 and boot to windows 5.3 at 1.49 - I didn't put it under load to not fry it :) delided keeps temperatures up to 82-83 when under full AVX load when 5.1 and around 70-73 without AVX.
stick with 5.1 its still beast cpu mine i cant oc to 5.0 not delided yet im in israel no shiping here
R Pickles
Followed all steps and on cpu-z, core voltage is 0.672 V.
Only difference is I did 48 instead of 50 overclock because I’m not delidded.
Help please. Thanks!

Hey wie gehts?
Läuft :) Und selbst?

@@der8auer Hey der8auer, I REALLY SEEK HELP with my OC! It' s a one year old post, so i replied to your comment in hope that you would see my post. I understand you must be very busy, but I really hope you can find a few minutes to answer my question. Thank you.
My system:
-i7 8700k (delided),
-MB Asus Prime z370-a,
-AIO Corsair h115i,
-3200 mhz, corsir ram 2x8gb
So I followed your instructions step by step. I believe I have a very bad chip, because nothing seems to work.
My only stable OC settings (Prime95 26.6):
- everything the same as you instructed
- AVX offset 1
- 48 on all cores
- core voltage 1.350
I managed to pass Prime95 26.6 custom for 21 hours (30 minutes of 1344k, 8k, 800k, 864K everything OK). Cinebench r15 also fine, OCCT seems fine. One hour of gameplay of BFV using AVX, no crashes.
THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH PRIME95 29.8. Although I did passed custom 1344k, 8k, 800k, 864k, I can not pass "small FFT test", everything I tried caused eather a BSOD or stopped workers or couldn' t run all cores at 100% from the start.
Can not even pass 47 all cores at 1.390 with AVX 0.
What is wrong is my motherboard not good enough, is something wrong with my chip? Or am I doing something wrong in the BIOS? Thank you so much.
@@der8auer I forgot to say that temp are ok most of the time between 65° - 75°. Even with 1.390 avarge temp are around 70°.
I am building a system with the 8700K and the Maximums Hero X mobo next week. This information will be invaluable to me. Thank you for sharing it!
6 years later i'm overclocking my 8700k, i think this is the first time i've got a nice silicon, my last processor, an 7700k managed to do 5.0Ghz but with 1.35v, this 8700k does 4.9 at 1.270v fixed, that's amazing.
How much do you think that OC will affect CPU longevity? I know it's an old myth at this point and it's almost impossible to be completely sure about it, but.. How many years should a 8700K @ 5.0GHz with 1.35V serve you, for example gaming only workload, not rendering? Versus the stock 8700K for example? Do you think we shorten the lifespan of the CPU by a pretty big percentage like 30-40% or it's so small that it doesn't even matter? :)
Cheers
anything up to 1.40v is absolutely safe if you have good cooling
England is my city I get that it's safe, but for how long? 3, 5, 7 years? :)
i'm no expert, but i will be surprised if it lasts less than 5 years at 1.40v
I've heard people say will reduce a CPU life by 40-50%. My answer is always 50% of what? A stock CPU technically could run for several decades without issue. You can buy CPUs from the 90s that still work perfectly fine, they are just obsolete but they are not defective. OC is not going to reduce CPU life unless you do something to cause damage. If you keep everything within temp range and voltage there is no damage to be done.
i've now got my 8700k, runs at 5.1ghz at 1.424v idle and 1.344v under load, i'm pretty sure it will last me at least 5 years of heavy use. although intel's datasheet says 1.5v is the max safe voltage, i'd consider 1.45v an upper limit, because of max voltage overshoot after heavy load.
Tried the over lock profile, ran cinebench, blue screen of death
same
Same
Same here too...
Guys i had the same issues check your temperatures
I swapped my aio cooler fans with nactuas and re applied thermal paste and it run like a beast
Excellent turorial. Helped a lot. Worked perfectly for my ASUS z-370-A Motherboard and 8700K.
My favorite overclocking guide and that accent is on point
6:42
CPU SVID Support on Asus boards Off?
+Nisco Racing you should always disable svid for OC no matter which brand
Am I correct in saying you need it enabled / auto if you plan on using adaptive, if you still want the voltage stepdown working, to keep it running cooler when idle?
Sethos you are but ONLY on that scenario 'adaptative"
SVID is required for Adaptive voltage to work. You dont need to or have to disable it for 24/7 overclocking.
SVID doesn't cause damage to the CPU. It allows the CPU to request VID from the buck controller. That's why it's needed for Adaptive voltage mode.
I like your videos man, but I have to say...
Originally overcklocking was used by poor people to get a little bit more performance for less money.
Now it's just marketing nonsense, for my eye. Think about it: you paying extra for OC-able CPU, extra for OC-support chipset, extra for powerful VRM's, extra for thousands of phases. I'm not even start about RGB and PCB-painting.
And what do you get after all? +300-400 MHz (4.7 -> 5.1)? I mean - does it worth it?..
It is so funny to watch how people OC their CPUs and goes like "look what I get! plus 5-10 FPS!!!" who cares that 5-10 FPS cost him about +50-70%...
inverto veritas it's not about the 5-10 fps difference, it's about pushing your hardware to its limits 'cause it's damn fun :)
You forget that when your hardware is showing its age those extra 10 fps is the difference between buying a new pc or "stretching" it a few more years. Thats why i always buy OC parts. I bought a 8700k and a 1080ti a few months ago and im playing on 3440x1440 @ 100hz. Everything is on stock for now because its pointless to overclock. Ill do that in about a year or 2 when my hardware cant keep up anymore.
8700k actually runs 4.3ghz when you’re using all cores, so a jump to 5.1ghz is an 18% jump. That’s 2 generations worth of performance. It’s not nothing.
When you're doing more intensive CPU work like rendering and editing things that can take hours it can cut a lot of time. And the reason you have to overclock them is because they don't come that way out of the box which you already know because they don't guarantee stability in life of the CPU. But I agree it shouldn't cost more for a k chip.
Every time I update my bios I head back to this video. Thank you. 👍😁
Tried this guide in 2020 and I’m stable. Thank you.
What a great guide, other guides didn’t work for me, very thorough explanation thanks very much!!!
Thank you, you are the BEST at overclocking.
Perfect timing as I was having issues with overclocking on my chip. Thanks for this video!! What's your opinion on MSI boards?
Following this guide helped me reduce temps with 10 celcius, decrese voltage from 1.39 to 1.26. AND make prime95 run alot more stable! Thanks alot!
thanks soo much from kuwait.....my first overclock and my pc just changed alot with overclocking the ram to its speed and with the cpu and everything is stable .....keep going man u have my support
These exact settings got me 8 hours Prime stable at 5GHz. Thank you good sir. No delid, I get some 1 second high 80s maxes but high 70s is where it stays under 100% load.
Best overclocking guide in youtube!. Everything works perfect for my 8700k following this guide. Running Maximus hero, 5 Ghz @1.28v, avx2. No delid, Noctua U12A with Kryonaut paste. Load temps don't exceed 80 and idle at 31 in view 71 case. Thanks for excellent videos, will follow when I buy 10900k one day! :)
Great video.We all need this kind of info,I hope to see you do it with all motherboards.Epic
Coming from overclocking a i5-655K (with t8y of TeamAU) to 5ghz, shortly before it died, and spending a lot of time overclocking on X58 (i7-975XE) and Z77 (i5-3570K - 4.4Ghz @ 1.35v stable), I hit a wall trying to get above 4.7Ghz on my i7-8700K. Thankyou so much for this video Der8auer. I watched it 3 times before taking notes of every step, and testing your settings. PERFECT RESULT! After just couple of minutes in XTU, the temperatures were just too high for my old Corsair H100i to handle, and thermal throttling ensued. I think it's time for a delid. I am now on 4.5Ghz @ 1.2v (LLC 3, around 1.12v-1.16v under load in Windows) for my daily clock, using a couple of things I learned from this video (Your explanation of SVID, BCLK Aware Adaptive Voltage, and AVX really helped!)
Excellent work as usual der8auer. I was pushing 1.4v and getting no where. Perhaps a video explaining a few more of the settings that are common among BIOS that can affect overclocking would be helpful to myself and many others? Understanding what each setting does is a large part of successful overclocking. I've regained the confidence to continue tweaking this CPU until I have it "just right" for a low power, high performance daily use, and a "balls-to-the-wall" overclock for getting back in to benchmarking again.
Thanks for this video. Very helpful. I am very glad I chose the Maximum X Hero (WIFI-AC) motherboard.
I've been planning a new build for a little while now, and ordered this board and the *der8auer Core i7-8700K @ 5.0 GHz - Pro Edition* from *Caseking* yesterday(along with other things) mostly because of this review/tutorial on the Maximus X.
Other reviewers are also rating this pretty high, so it was a no brainer for me.
Thank you Roman, for making videos like this, stressing the important features(like number and quality of the VRMs/chokes and power delivery), instead of the looks(ooooooh RGBullshit).
Before delidding 95-100c
After delidding 70c
Awesome guide! Thanks for the tutorial.
Might have lost the silicon lottery, but this helped greatly.
Awesome instructions. I ran these settings on a ASUS TUF Z370 Pro Gaming mobo, i7 8700K (no delid), Corsair Vengenace DDR4 3200 RGB, Corsair water cooling and it worked above my expectations. VCORE under load at 1.324 volts, idle at 1.344 volts, max at 1.360 volts. VRM 6 phase , temp at 76 degrees Celsius, CPU temps, package, idle at 37 degrees Celsius, under load at 76 degrees Celsius, highest core temp 81 degrees Celsius. 3rd Cinebench in a row score 1609. It's nice to know my machine runs well with these reasonable temps, but I have no use of a overclocked machine, because this is my music studio pc (Steinberg Cubase Pro 9.5 using AVX instructions) and the audio latency and CPU load was much higher overclocked, then with the ASUS Optimized default settings. So, I'm back to the Optimized default settings, but probably going to delid my CPU, and use 360 water cooling so my fans make less noise. BTW ambient temp was 29 degrees Celsius and water cooling idle at 32 degrees Celsius. I don't know if It was safe to do this without deliding and I would like to hear some opinions about my overclock, especially how to lower the audio latency. I think I'm going to try this overclock without XMP enabled or lower DDR4 timings. Thanx for this great instructional video.
Edit: Tried some RAM frequency settings and It runs better at 3000 Mhz. Less latency and less CPU consumption and no more cpu spikes. I think my corsair ram has a to low voltage on this mobo to run at 3200 Mhz. It's crazy, but It's at 1.376 volts.
Thanks these settings were a great baseline for me and totally stable!
Thank you so much!!!! You help me in ways I cannot explain, I truly appreaciate this video
thanks for the guide really help me overclocking my cpu to 5.0 and a max temp of 80c under load on cinebench using corsair h115i pro 280mm
Thanks for this video. Exactly what I needed. Super easy to get to 5Ghz and at a safe comfortable voltage level. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for this video, you see this is why UA-cam is so important!!! This is a real tutorial on overclocking in this configuration. I follow your steps and I’m super stable on 5 GHz with the Corsair h100i v2 AIO. I’ll be trying another multiplayer’s once I install my custom loop!!!
Nice video, mate. I enjoyed watching. Im running the same motherboard and cpu but 3GhZ Corsair Vengeance RAM and currently just a cheap stock-cooler. I plan on cooling the setup with the Alphacool Eisbaer 360 cooler very soon and plan on running my setup @5GhZ. I'll just put in the values you have here. Not much of an OC expert, so I rely on experts like you to walk me through the process. Thanks again!
I was actually struggling to find LLC in my motherboard Asus z370-f found it because of your tutorial, and make it easier hearing the explanations and reasoning for changes. Thanks.
glad to hear :)
update on delid. Delidded and thermal grizzly applied also swapped to a custom loop (ek supremacy evo block) now running stable 50 oc at 1.385V ran prime 95 for an hour with no issues voltage went to 1.402 and a max package temp of 66c super happy with how everything turned out thank you again for the great video will probably try to push it a little further would like to know how high i can get my sample to go =)
Thank you for making this very informative video. Since I am building and new PC with the ASUS Maximum X Hero motherboard and Intel Core i7-8700K CPU, this video will be a great guide when I start to overclock my system.

Thanks so much for putting this video up. It really helped me fine tune my Asus Z370 / 8700K setup without having to get a degree in mechanical engineering 😂 You’re awesome!
I just used your delid kit on my i7 8700k and went from thermal throttling at 5GHz 100c on stress test down to max temp 57c under 100% load, all cores 5.01GHz, idle 29c. Thx m8
Thank you Der8auer! Very helpful video after just Delidding my 8700k :).
I am using a 120 mm radiator push pull fan. Load line calibration level 6 was to unstable, level 5 gave more stable voltage control. I was able to reduce Temps to 80 degrees C and lower for a whole hour at 4.8 gigahertz on all cores. Latest bios, 1801. Thank you for this great tutorial.
yeah level 5 is less agressive indeed
More videos please, I really enjoy your content.
Great vid thanks !..when I can eventually bag a 8700k I will be using that main board for sure.

Thank you, sir, for this video! Very informative, and just what I needed, after a day long session of putting together a new build with a delidded cpu. If I may ask, what do I need to do from here to see how far it goes? Do I just increase the Core Ratio Limit up by 1, and restart? Or do I also need to increase other values as I do so?
Thanks buddy I've got the same MB and Chip and this video help ALLOT.Well done
Solid guide. Though a few other guides for these boards called for disabling speedstep unless using adaptive voltage
Thank you for this in-depth and easy-to-follow overclocking guide! I use the previous generation (Maximus IX Hero) paired with a i7 7700K. Is it possible to follow these steps with that? And if so, anything I should keep in mind?

Your video is extremely helpful. Thank you! It would be interesting to see how this type of OC is compared to adaptive mode. I've been experimenting with adaptive but it is much more complex and more difficult to stabilize!
Edit: Well i think i am getting somewhere with adaptive! i will update soon.
Thanks for this, will use to overclock my Asus Maximus Apex motherboard + 8700k.
How simple ... I've tried before, where the more detailed setup but mostly I had the same performance as now. Temperatures 20 ° lower. I have 8600k, Maximus XI Hero but it also works. I send greetings from the Czech Republic
Thanks again der8auer for another great video!
Thanks!
Extremely elaborate tutorial, thanks 👌👌
Thank you so much for this guide. I managed to overclock my i7 8700k to 4.8 Ghz @ 1.250 volts (Only using 1.216, so i might change that) ran the stress test for about an hour with no complications and my temperatures were around 68 degrees. Hopefully they go down to the low 60s once i drop the voltage to 1.220. I still haven't played any games, really excited to start though. Thanks again.
Hello my core voltage its become fix at 1.250 its normal not have problem ????
Thanks for the comprehensive overclock tutorial.
I have a question: If I want to increase the benchmark score in 3Dmark Firestrike 1080p or fully utilize GPUs. What kind of overclock speed is the most important?
Currently, my CPU is overclocked the same as your tutorial.
GPUs are 1080Ti SLI.
Ram is 64gb 3000MHz 15-17-17-35 with XMP profile.
Thank you so much !! Very nice job !! Please witch voltage with 4.7ghz ?
So, thanks for this super informative video got my PC running 5ghz at 1.35v seeing temps of around 50-80c at max depending on games and work load. need to tweak some settings try and get it a little cooler but no blue screens and is stable at these OC settings. Thank you sir I appreciate the guide! Ps my 8700k is not delided 👍
5mhz since 04/18 Same as you, no problems :)
Thank you very much for this video. It's very useful. BTW I just noticed you did not touch on the Spread Spectrum parameters. Should I turn them off?
Thank you for this Nice tutorial, is 1 hour of prime95 testing enough to ensure system stability?
Considering this Mobo great review thanks seems worth the money for a better clock
Bought an 8086K for my girlfriend. This will be my guideline. Also have your delidding tool. Works wonders
For people who have the issue about down clocking under stress test in prime95, like 5.0Ghz to 4.7Ghz, is because the Avx instruction set to 3, if you take a close look of what is avx when you move to that tab, you can see the explanation at the very bottom of you bios ui.
