8086k overclocking

[evilmeister13]

I recently acquired an 8086k, popped it into an n7 z370, and I'd like to get a flat 5GHz OC out of it. So I didnt disable any features or anything, I simply changed the core ratio to 50 and set it so that all core turbo is allowed to hit 5ghz as well. I did not specify a manual voltage. While running aida 64, I notice the voltage can sometimes jump up to 1.4v and the temps will then jump to 100 C, however, usually it sits around 1.36v and 86ish degrees. I'm wondering if that's perfectly fine for "normal" usage since obviously I'm not going to be stress testing it 24/7. I also noticed that it essentially never dropped below 5ghz on all cores as soon as I booted it up. Will any of this affect the life of my CPU or just increase power consumption/heat output?

Do you have your cooler on silent or performance? I'm running mine on silent and getting these temps but I assume they'll be lower if I bump it to performance. My goal is to run it on silent mode in normal use however. I have the X72 for clarification

Just do a manual overclock like a normal person. Using auto voltage with an overclock is just dumb because it will give you more voltage than you need and will make it run hot and potentially give it unsafe voltages at times.

Well I didnt use an auto overclock or anything, I just didnt disable any features or set a manual voltage, I pretty much left most things at default and voltage at auto.

That is exactly what I said. You are using auto voltage with your overclock. It's a bad idea.

i'd set a lower manual voltage as long as it's stable, u said it's at 1.4v, try lowering it to 1.375, 1.35 etc, 1.35 if stable, should be good.

When I first got the i7 8086k I used multicore enhancement. The voltage and heat was a bit high.

I then did a manually overclock and the temps were great. I am still using it on one of my computers.

 

The i7 8086k in my other computer is running at 5.1ghz and the temps average 2c over the all core 5ghz overclock. The CPUs are not delidded. 

Since I play at 3840 X 1600 and 4k I am GPU bound so there is no gain at 5.1 ghz. I do see gains when testing at 1440p and 1080p.

 

Here are my result when I first overclock the CPU.

The Der8auer overclock is good for 5.1 but not for 5.2ghz.

I just manually set it to 1.35, however now its sitting at 1.38 and jumps up to 1.5. Tf?

Does it have an offset voltage it's working with or are you using the motherboard overclock features?  Make sure you saved the manual voltage properly and after you set it, restart the computer and enter the bios to see if it actually has the manual voltage you set it as. Also, are you using HWinfo to view real time voltages and etc.?
