How is this a guide? Also the i7 8700 is locked.

My i7 8700K is a silicon loser, non-delid, with NH-D15 cooler, can be manually set at,

 

3.7GHz / 1.04v (It's the lowest voltage I can set at Intel's rated base clock speed, stable. Any lower than 1.04v for 3.7GHz is unstable)

 

4.7GHz / 1.17v

 

4.8GHz / 1.25v

 

4.9GHz / 1.31v

 

Cant get 5GHz at any volts I've tried between 1.31-1.37v with AVX = 0,

and I gave up to get 5GHz..

 

OP don't take this as your settings, yours might get better lower voltages or even worse higher than mine, it's purely depends on silicon lottery on every chips.. Because I've seen an i7 8700K can also run at 5GHz with only 1.27v which is great, mine is the absolute opposite, can't get 5GHz..

 

I will delid this chip once the Der8auer DDM2 arrived, to either see if it can improve the chip to get higher clock speed and get lower temps generally, because my place is freaking hot, currently the climate makes the ambient temps around 30C!

I have watched many videos and read many articles and have understood that i7 7800k can hit 5 ghz at 1.325 volts

(non delided). Can i use the corsair h80i v2 for cooling.

I also hope that my CPU could get 5GHz at around 1.35v, but actually even I pushed to 1.37v it doesn't want to go 5GHz, always crashed when I tested it.

 

I read a review of exact same motherboard and CPU combo as mine, MSI Z370i Gaming Pro Carbon AC with i7 8700K, which can achieve 5GHz with only 1.275v.

Comparing my motherboard+CPU to this review, made me wanted to ditched my i7 8700K and get i7 8086K instead. I followed what the review did to get these results, but no success, my i7 chip is absolute silicon loser..

I did have it there but wasnt stable at the voltage I had. I use 4.9 at 1.35 now.

Well my i7 8700 locked is at 4.45ghz 1.28v, probably could push it further if Intel wasn't lame and locked BLCK.
