8700k longterm voltages

[Ziomek64]

Hello,

When it comes to overclocking CPU, should i care for vcore underload or what i put into bios for 24/7 use longterm. Even on LLC1 i get a vdroop. On 1.37 it drops 1.344. Could turn it up to 1.40 or even 1.41 as i heard it's on the edge of longterm use? After vdroop it will be under 1.40. People are often talking on the internet how 1.40 is max for longterm, but i don't know if it's what i put in bios or vcore underload. This is my main question. I have this CPU for 2 years now, and i started overclocking just recently.

 

The second question i got is that my Asrock Z370 extreme4 is not keeping flat voltage on LLC1, I heard that people are getting flat voltage on this level but mine is dropping. Even in bios it shows flat line. Is it about my board or does it differ between boards?

 

Thanks for any help.

5ghz about 1.37v sounds about right. Mine is 1.360v.

Manually adjust the cpu LLC to help prevent v-droop.

 

edit try lvl 3 instead.

i have the extreme4 with a 8600k and it's largely flat, been at 1.36v for 3 years (?) now llc3, but it's not always on full load.

At 1.37 i can get 4.9. 1 is highest llc level (lowest vdroop) up to 5 levels. At 1 I still get vdroop, can't get flat voltage for some reason like some people do

If I'm not mistaken, lvl 1 is the lowest setting, 5 should be over shoot.

Not on this board.  Level 1 is flat , but i'm not getting it for some reason.

Ah gotcha.

Yeah that's kinda weird. 

Is the bios up to date?

Yes, i can see that it was fixed in some old version, but i have newest one.
