Hi all,

 

So I have finally built this system that I posted about a few months ago but I am running into some issues. I was getting massive temperature spikes from just running simple programs or opening a web browser even though I am liquid cooled but have read that this is a common issue with the 7700k. I am overclocked at a stable 4.8ghz at 1.25v and I was hoping someone could just check my settings as I am new to this. The SA and IO voltages are shown in the warning area and I was hoping someone could suggest what to lower them at and/or anything else I should change?

 

Any help would be much appreciated! I have attached the spec details below and I have a SS of the info I am talking about.

 

My full Specs are:

Ok well just to update you all before someone replies, I made some changes to the SA and IO voltages and stress tested and its brought temps down a lot and everything is stable at 4.8ghz @ 1.25v with XMP on 3200 DDR4 Corsair Vengeance RAM.

 

If there is something else I should change please let me know!
