Hi,

I've recently upgraded to a 8700K on a maximus hero X MB.

I have made it delid and here are the results

On realbench
Before : 79 degrees
after : around 60

Gaming (on assassins creed origin):
Before ; 70
after : around 55


First, are those results good and in the medium for my CPU (delid)? I read on other forum or on FB than people got cooler themps than that without even delid and with the same or similar cooling system as mine.. Is that BS?

Secondly, do you have some advice for tweaking bios,

For now, here's what i've done:

Vcore manual: 1.17
CPU VCCIO voltage : 1.15
CPU system Agent voltage ! 1.15
llc level 5
Multicore enhancement disable
SVID : best case scenario

settings of cores stock :
1 active cpre: 47
2 : 46
3: 45
4: 44
5: 44
6:43


Motherboard: Asus Maximus Hero X
Processor: i7 8700k
GPU : GTX 1080 TI EVGA FTW3
Ram : 32GB G.SKILL Trident Z RGB / 3466Mhz
PSU: Corsair RMI 850 GOLD
Watercooling : Eisbaer LT 360 with 3 silent wings 3
Case : Phanteks Enthoo Luxe

Thanks for your help and advices

What he said. This is OVERCLOCKERS, not COOLERDOWNERS haha. Temps look fine

oh i will OC after but i wanted to know if all was fine before.. What should i try to reach then?
And before OC, running stock, what other settings should i tweak? Should i stay on manual oc too?

Yes, unless they can't pay for their gas bills :)
Without delidding, they can't even survive a LinX run, not even at stock clock.

Ok you reassure me, i was wondering if my CPU was part of a very bad batch since many people seemed to brag to have cooler temps..

Thanks !

You will find that those people run cinebench for 1 minute claim its stable then record temps. I'd pay no attention.
 
If I wanted to have all cores at 47,

Should i just use sync all core?
Do i enable MCE?
What about vcore, cache voltage, cache ratio? LLC?

Thanks again :)
 
If you wanted all cores at 47, you would use Sync all core's. MCE does not do 47 when all core's are active, normally 4.5 GHz from what I have seen, which to be honest is the easy way to get a increase in performance out your CPU, so would just go down that route. More so if your gaming on a 60hz panel.
 
Ah so you would just enable MCE ?

I have a 100hz monitor.

But I guess i'lliet better perfomance getting all core @ 47?
which min vcore would you suggest? I'm at 1.17 right now with stock core settings

Sure 4.7 GHz across all 6 cores would be better in terms of performance, but you would be very hard pressed to notice a difference. Can't comment on the exact voltage you need given every chip is different but would start at 1.17v I guess then work your way up / down depending on if you crash or not (suspect that may be on the slightly low side), personally I have just stuck my 8700k at 5.2 GHz and left it there so not tweaked at lower speeds too much.
 
oh ok i see. And would i notice a real difference in gaming for example if i manages to get it to 5 ? I mean if i have to spend hours and hours of tweakings for 3 fps, does not really worth it?
 
Depends on the game, if your limited by your CPU / GPU and so on, no one size fits all answer. In cases where the CPU is limiting performance, yes you may indeed see an increase in performance, but usually if your performing poor at say 4.7 GHz, moving upto 5.0 GHz is not going to see a significant change. I would also say 5.0 GHz with your current temps is going to mean your running pretty warm anyways. I would shoot for 4.7 Ghz / 4.8 GHz on all 6 core's and see how that goes. That said assassins creed Origin's is one of those titles which can see a benefit from higher clock speeds, more so in cities I find where CPU usage is very high.
 
I see. Well i have a 1080Ti and around 80/90 fps on AOC for example. cpu around 55 degrees on that game.

I will try that

Sync all core @47
Manual vcore around 1.17
LLC 5
svid off then?
asus multicore enhancement disable?
Cache ratio 44 to 46?


Are my temps that bad even with a delid? 60 degrees on realbench and 55 in demanding game?
 
Ahhh right. No your temps are fine, I misread your post sorry. Thought it was 55 degrees prior to overclocking in ACO then 70 degrees after hah, did not see the delid bit

Looks like a solid enough OC to start with those numbers. Would try to see if your stable, then tweak accordingly.
 
Ahaha ok you freaked me out :D

No i got 79 in realbench before delid, 60 now.


Ok cool i will try at 47 all core, at 1.17 you think it can hold?
