Did up my daily lately. 2011 Holden Commodore VE Series II L77 6.0L V8. Mods include: - 1 7/8 Pacemakers - Custom OTR intake - Custom full 3" exhaust with mid muffler delete - Tuned to ~300kw - Lowered on Pedders - Racing grade brakes I'm looking to get her cammed soon but not sure how to go about it. Any recommendations? I still want her driveable for daily use.

Taking over? I thought the fan base was dying!

Ah right will do, I actually did order some corsair fans the other day just in case this was the issue lol. And if it doesn't help too much I'm probably going to delid, even though I've never done it before. Thanks for the insight.

Alright cheers for the advice I will do some research on those boards you mentioned and if nothing else pops up I might grab one.

im not too familiar with VRM cooling but how exactly would I go about it? Would I need more airflow?

Yeah I might just do that but I'll probably end up getting some sort of high end Z390 board as I don't really have a budget. And yeah I might end up delidding too.

I guess I could run at lower clock speeds its just that I would like to get the most of my cpu as I stream games and I would like to get as much FPS as possible. I also do video/modelling projects.

Yeah so a few months ago I decided to purchase a pre-built pc (first mistake) which has an 8086k sitting in a ASRock Z370 Pro4 with some 120mm Coolermaster aio. I've always been trying to overclock it to 5ghz but its never stable no matter the voltage (tried all voltages from 1.250v - 1.4v). The most stable voltage I have found is 1.325v which handles CINEBENCH15 very well but only survives around 3 runs in ASUS RealBench 2.43 before reaching in the high 80s - low 90s degrees then crashing (idle temps are about 36-43 degrees). I thought the aio was the main issue so 3 days ago I replaced it with a Corsair h115i 280mm however nothing has changed. I was considering deli-dding but I have a feeling its probably not going to fix it also I've never done it and I don't really trust myself so at this point I am just considering getting a new mobo/cpu combo as I think one of them is defective, but I thought I would ask if anyone has any possible solutions or if im missing something in the overclocking process as im pretty new to it. Cheers.
