i7-8700k Overclock guide/help please

[O9B0666]

i havent been able to find a good guide for this cpu when i did a search and their has to be one. I've overclocked this, from some info i got on here, but otherwise i have never OC'd a cpu, only gpu's with afterburner.

Long story short as some have prolly seen, im having temp issues again and i've noticed while at stock settings my voltage seems high, like something as high as or near a light OC, cpu-z reports 1.128-1.806 range depending on what im doing. Mind you these are the settings stock on my system, i just did a fresh windows re-install when my boot ssd died. System is in my sig. A link would be great, i am looking for stock settings/voltages as well as a guide for oc'ing this thing to see if i canroute out my temps. I remember before after i followed someones simpkle instructions of a 4.6 OC my temps did go down. A link would be great, and sorry i couldn't find one and had to ask for something thats prolly on here.

turn automatic voltages off. 1.8 seems very high.

most intel oc guides made for skylake and up are fine to follow. some stuff might be called a bit different but everything should be there.

Use manual voltage, LLC set to medium (if it's represented as Level, use the one at the middle), and multiplier to ten times that of clock speed in GHz (4.6GHz needs 46). Then save the settings and let it boot. I'd start with 1.3V.

these CPUs run very hot. if you want to see anything that looks sensible youll need to de-lid.

 

ran mine standard for a few months then delidded it last week, HUGE difference to the temps, now it behaves like a " normal/old" cpu that i'm used to and not something that shoots to 70+ degree every time you click anything
