chrisflippo93 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 hi guys, i just followed a overclocking guide on youtube, posting my results of the benchmark here, tell em what you think, this is for gaming, not competing. Intel Core i7-8700K CPU @ 4810.0MHz - 2429 XTU marks on HWBOT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShrimpBrime Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Looks like a pretty decent overclock. If it's stable for gaming, then your on the right track. How do the temps look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisflippo93 Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 thats actually one of my concerns, my temps get high, 80s-90's but i have changed a few things to increase my "marks"? i know more marks are better, but what exaclty are marks?, also, i was doing comparisons and i need some info on what exactly turbo boost power time window is and how to/ what that should be set at and also what cache ICCmax is and what i should be setting that to as well. i need to do something to try to bring my temps down im running a be quite! dark rock pro 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted April 6, 2019 Crew Share Posted April 6, 2019 The only thing to bring yout temps down is to delid the cpu and redo it with liquid metal... also think that XTU uses AVX instructions, so 80°C there, is not even 70°c during gaming....

Guest Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 What he said ^ ... delided on load temps can drop 25c. That's alot so keeping under 80c for benchmark runs will be better for results. Ditch the air cooler. If your serious then custom water cooling, slow speed pump, large surface area radiators. eg. My 8086K machine has UK alloy watercool brand rads 3x140mm & 2x140mm. Benches 5.4Ghz & cooling to spare in Australia 20c ambient mornings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisflippo93 Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 I run Apex at a good 75 degrees, but running prime95 my temps go straight to 90, im not trying to spend another 600 on a liquid system all tough it would be nice i just did this. https://hwbot.org/submission/4123067_chrisflippo93_xtu_core_i7_8700k_2603_marks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted April 9, 2019 Crew Share Posted April 9, 2019 if your CPU can complete a full XTU run it will be more than stable to run games (non AVX)... Who still cares about Prime. When you game you take the GPU into it too... If its game stable no need to torture your setup with silly Prime95 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc122 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 agreed with leeghoofd. if youre only gaming, dont bother with prime95/avx extensions stuff. if it works for what you need it for, its stable enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
