delidded

Running folding at home (FAH) with both CPU and GPU maxed out was resulting in CPU temp peaks of 94-96 degrees celsius. No throttling but close to TJMax (100 degrees AFIK) Per my other thread doesn't seem worth it to upgrade on 1151 for gaming. So decided to lap and separately delid the...

I de lidded my 8700k recently and whilst i'm sure i should be happy i'm sat at that happy 5ghz where temps are ~35.C with a max of 50. what worries me is despite setting a voltage in my bios it fluctuates currently its sat at 1.232 v whilst intel burntest is running in the background, should i...
