What do you use to cool your 8700k?

Curious of your cooling solutions for 8700k or similar CPU. 

 

I want to know your clock speed and average temp after small stress like Cinnebench or something. I recently had to redo my OC and I can't get my chip back up to 5.0ghz stable. I thermal throttle after about 1.34v or so with my H100iV2. Even at like 1.3 or 1.32v I hit upwards of 95c on all cores, which seems really hot running for that chip and cooler.

Something isn't right there. I have a 8700k and I was able to run 5 ghz at 1.300v on my hyper 212 evo.... A 100iv2 is definitely a better solution than my hype 212 was. In Asus Realbench I think I was hitting low to mid 80's....  Is your pump plugged into the CPU's PWM fan header? Are the fans ramping up at all when under load? Something seems very wrong.

In Cinebench R15, I am averaging something around ~73C and in R20 something around ~77C. The maximum core-voltage, according to hwinfo64, is 1.33V. I am running all-core 4.9GHz with a Noctua NH-D15S. As for the scores, (I don't know if you wanted to know them or not) I get 1552cb in R15 and 3652cb in R20, though I have a whole bunch of stuff running in the background, since I just couldn't be arsed to close all of my stuff for this.

 

EDIT: Thought to mention that I didn't win the silicon-lottery; I have to raise voltages way too much to get a stable 5GHz all-core that it's just not worth it. 4.9GHz seems to be the sweet spot for my CPU.

Use a custom loop with the fans as low as they can go when running at 4.5. 

 

At 5.0 I turn stuff up but doesn’t seem to help the temps. 

Just delidded it today but haven’t done any testing. 

 

Id prolly have a delid and 360 aio at a minimum but over clocking hasn’t got me anything real world.

Seems weird that you can't even do cinebench with an AIO at 1.3v without hitting 90+

 

Before I delidded my 8700k was at 1.35v on a Cryorig H7 QL and while it would throttle in a serious stress test, on cinebench it wouldn't get that high.

 

Make sure your cooler is installed correctly and it's working right
