So I overclocked the 8700k to 4.8ghz. I first started at 1.15v - managed to boot into Windows, few stress tests passed but then fail. I knew this is a low voltage and I have lots of headroom so I bumped to 1.2v - all stress tests passed and benchmarking.
In the end I bumped to 1.24v to allow for more headroom - did some testing & temps are good.
Is this a good voltage to have? I've played BF1 so far and no issues.
(5ghz works at 1.28v but fails one stress test so a bump to 1.3v solves it - can't sustain the temps though small fft worst case test throttles cores at 100c - found this the case with any volt 1.27+ on a non delid).
One other question - I did small window tests with many apps rather than one large test - Cinebench, OCCT, 3DMark, p95, LinX, Realbench - is this a better test?)
