I had a goal of hitting that magic 5Ghz OC when i built this PC, as I had read many comments claiming that this was "easy" on the 9600k.

I flashed the motherboard bios to the latest version when i first installed windows.

Current overclocking settings are 47 * 100 vcore, 45 * 100 uncore at 1.335V. I have set LLC to "turbo". As well, I have disabled all of the settings that Aorus recommends you turn off in their overclocking guide (https://www.gigabyte.com/FileUpload/Global/multimedia/2/file/525/946.pdf).

I am running Prime95 version 29.4 for stress testing.

 

My issue:

Under Prime95 stress test I see the temperatures skyrocket from 65-70 degrees to 93-97 degrees after the 400K test is passed. I have ran a 2H blend test without any issues but have been afraid to leave the PC overnight at this temperature, and this is also scaring me away from trying to increase voltage any higher.

 

This seems odd to me? Do I just have a bad chip or is this just the reality of the h80i (which i have CRANKED for stress tests). Maybe an AVX or SSE configuration issue? Should I try a different stress test software? I have heard of others experiences unrealistically high temperatures running prime before.

Put the rad in Icewater mate
Even better, Get a 240/280 rad or a 360 rad aio.

Single rad, even though it's thicc, is not great for temps.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Yes.

 

BUT, if i try to run the same prime test on STOCK I will still see these crazy high temps even though I know that my stock i5 is obviously stable. Are there any other stress tests that are reliable for stability testing that dont induce the same thermal load? I have never seen my cpu above 60 degrees when gaming.

This.

 

You'd be better off a higher end air cooler.

For OC, this is 100% true.

 

At stock clocks? Single rad is perfectly fine, my friend runs stock 9600k on a H60 with really low temps.
