Quote: “I found out that an overclock over 5.0GHz on all cores was not going to happen, but between 4800 and 4900MHz was the sweet spot for this Core i7 8700K. Well, after setting the load line calibration to Mode 1 and applying a voltage of 1.25v in the Click BIOS. I finally settled at 4862MHz by setting the bclock multiplier to 48 and bumping the bclock up to 101.3MHz. Not stellar when you look at the Turbo Boost clock speeds of 4.7GHz on a single or pair of cores that are lightly loaded. However, this clock speed proved stable, but did get a bit warm even with a full-on liquid cooling system. Temperatures in the 90 °C range were not uncommon in some of the more demanding loads. A bit more tuning time on the voltage would surely reduce the thermals.”
