Hi Guys,

Trying to overclock my 8700k, followed an online guide and a youtube guide. Both say to do the same thing, neither work. If I run prime 95 it just crashes and dies.
Cant even get 4.8, let alone 5.0!

The bits I have:

Team Group Night Hawk LED 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit

Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 7 Intel Z370 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard

Intel Core i7-8700K 3.7GHz (Coffee Lake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - Retail

Noctua NH-D15 Dual Radiator Quiet CPU Cooler with two NH-A15 Fans

Any help appeaciated
 
I'm at 4.8 with 1.3v core. Doesn't like prime 95 but in another post someone mentioned a specific version, so I will check what I have.
All other stress tests are fine.
Tried 5.0 with 1.32 but it didn't like it. Didn't want to push much more voltage.
