8Packs no BS testing Intel 8700K and Z370 with Delid 5ghz and above available from OCUK.

In testing totally fine ofcourse. Check Realbench, heaven etc.. Disable avx offset if necessary just don't rum avx stress tests.

Check power plan in Windows, check igpu isn't installed by some windows update.
 
Hey guys,

I grabbed one of the 5ghz kits and a maximus X a couple weeks ago.

When using the settings here (with avx) aidia64 tests run at 4.8ghz and I have to use LLC7 to keep a stable 5.0ghz OC.

I've set AVX to 0 and I'm still stable with 1.35v LLC7 but as I use my PC to game and stream simultaneously I wonder if I should put the AVX Back to 2? From my understanding the x264 encoder and OBS Studio use avx instructions. Would this hamper my gaming experience and essentially run the CPU all the time at 4.8ghz while I game and stream?
Currently temps hold around 60c at 5ghz with AVX set to 0 whilst runnjng OBS and games would having avx improve or decrease my performance in both OBS or the game?
Just run avx offset at 0 and play your games!!
