Will the Coffee Lake i7 8700k OVERHEAT IF IT IS OVERCLOCKED OVER 5GHz???

[Pahlavon]

I've read some reviews on the internet and it said that the i7 7800k gets really hot if it is overclocked. The text says "You need good cooling, at a max temp which was 94 degrees with 280mm RADIATOR!!!!"

[Fedaykyn]

YES ABSOLUTELY...

 

Now dude, please look at your post. You want us to give you a blanket statement about a very new processor which barely anyone has.

For all I see posted online 5ghz under watercooling with a decent binned processor is possible even without delidding.

A german website sells verified 5,2 ghz i7 8700k with the IHS and TIM swapped for 900€. So yes probably possible, but not financially responsible.

i suppose if you have enough radiators and airconditioners pointed at your pc, or move to the north pole, everything is possible xd.

 

but i don't know, i don't have one.

I bet you are talking about caseking.de

 

Yes i7 8700k will overheat if you OC it to 5GHz ... and if you ask me it will be overheating even on 4,8GHz.

That's why I'm more interested in i5 8600k, and hoping that disabled hyperthreading will mean lower temps.

I'll let Steve from GamersNexus speak (watch 1:00-8:46):

ive seen stable 5.3 ghz on 8600ks at like 1.38v

edit: with 80 degree temps

We were probably looking at same video.

Also saw that, but I'm waiting for more users to test it, so I can know if that was just pure luck, or those CPUs will be actually much cooler.

80°C is still fine for stress testing it, and I wouldn't go to that voltage and frequency.

I'm hoping more on 5,0GHz at 1,3V, so temps should be even lower.

[Glennieboyyy007]

well, it all depnds on how much voltage you cpu wil need, they all need a different voltage for a specific frequency. my i5-7600k can reach 5ghz with 1.305V, but other may need more or they need less.

potentially, i read an article on it rather than a video but they mentioned 5.2 at 1.3v so im assuming good binning

Will just have to wait and see results from others

Sadly those new CPUs are still nowhere to be found.

Got a 8700k myself with the maximus hero/3600mhz @ 16GB. Currently running stock with 1.2v and I haven't gone over 60°C in any game so far and around 30ish at idle.

 

Running a h110i gt with Noctua fans. Going to look at OC'in again tonight. I managed to post at 5.2ghz @ 1.3v with no issues and ran the odd benchmark, will post my findings again at some point if people are interested. 

[Princess Luna]

You should be capable to hit 5ghz with decent cooling, just don't buy something cheap like a 212 Evo expecting miracles, you're already spending a lot of money on a z370 chipset and the i7 is no cheap either... you kinda can't justify cheapening on cooling.

Update me thanks.. i ordered 8700k with Z370F gaming and kraken x62.. not sure how it will go

[Paule_heist_er]

caseking.de recommends at least a 240mm AIO for the 5,2 GHz 8700k, and that is with liquid metal thermal paste on the die and silver IHS

Meanwhile, My laptop hit 92C this summer while playing Overwatch...

You need a good VRM to not explode when overclocking 180+W chip and a cooling tower with river, because radiator and pump are not enough

It's probably asus gl502vs right?
