8700k 4.8ghz stable...

[Amraam]

Still have to tweak the fan settings etc. but so far I've managed to get 4.8ghz at 1.31vcore and hitting 75C ish in p95. I'm not keen on going any hotter and I don't want the fans louder so is it worth staying where I am, or delidding and pushing to 5ghz +?

I'll post some screens of my OC settings when I'm home.

Cheers.

Thanks all, pretty much my thoughts. I just thought 5ghz would be a nice achievement ha.

Just got my 8700k and managed to do a quick dirty 4.7ghz on all cores at 1.25-Volts.
So far stable in windows and did a quick stability test with AIDA 64. Will do some proper testing another time as putting together my rig was a headache lol. Delided it anyway and max temp i saw when stress testing for 20 mins was 50 degrees

Wow, you hit the lotto well there. I'm hitting 65-75 but I'm having to use 1.31vcore to keep 4.8 stable in p95

keep the delidding for a few years yet when you think its getting slow then delid .
That's what I'm doing

Hi, I assume you mean keep it lidded for a few years?
