Update: After flashing the ROG MAXIMUS X HERO BIOS to Version 2102, the SVID Tables and Adaptive Mode in general has changed its behaviour to AVX/FMA3 loads. Now the vcore will actually increase in these load types and nothing so far could reverse it. I also returned my 8700k as it was showing...

Any suggestions? I also got my "new" 8700k back today and I found out that it runs stable up until [email protected] and for AVX load with [email protected] vcore. 5Ghz is not really a viable option with that specific CPU, but at least the vcore seems a bit better I guess. To get these values via Asus...

On the one hand there are OC extremists that always seem to get one of those CPUs that hit min. 5Ghz below 1.30v, and then noobs like me that can't get a 8700k stable at 4.9, because one did not consider AVX offsets. Just today it came to bear on me that the thermal headroom is getting less and...

I have an Asus Z270-A Mainboard and an i7 7700k. I have quite a hot 7700k and so far I can maintain 4.8/4.9 at about vcore 1.27-1.29, but despite my NH-D15 cooler that has been reseated just recently, my temps get over 80 in non AVX scenarios. For AVX loads I get over 95°C (for 1.28 vcore)...
