Ever since I updated to a 8700k, I crash either right after starting a Firestrike pass, or after the first sequence. Timespy is fine. This is either at the stock clock speeds or overclocked. I've waited this long hoping a bios or 3DMark update would fix it, but still an issue and I see reviewers showing Firestrike scores.

 

8700k 5.1GHz @1.35v

1080ti Lightning

32g Trident Z @3200MHz 16-18-18-38

ASUS Maximus X Code

EVGA 1000G2

(listed specs as I haven't been on here in a minute and some things have changed)

If anyone asks you never saw me.

Well, 5.1Ghz is quite high OC to remain stable, but not impossible. 

How is you AVX offset? Consider trying at least 200Mhz offset.

 

Running at 3 right now, could try 2. 

 

I know nothing is ever known stable, but I've tried to crash it and nothing I throw at it can, save Firestrike.

Well thats actually usefull data. Firestrike hammers the GPU rather than CPU. Id suggest before touching your current OC that you set your GPU and RAM to stock values. You may have other issues than CPU OC failing on you.

 

What have you tried already? AIDA, Cinebench, what else and for how long?

Pretty fair to say I've run everything I can get my hands on. Aida64 for overnight, all the benchmarks I own. GTA V actually let me know my system memory overclock wans't completely stable. Cinebench, the works. I've even got hours in Mechwarrior Online that was a nightmare with some past hardware. Timespy works flawlessly. 

 

Really odd issue.
