Failed overclocking or success?
So, i have followed numerous sites based on overclocking 8700k on msi bios. As CPUID HWMonitor shows are what the 8700k is running and same with CPUZ. But as i stress test with Prime95, it shows otherwise. Core speed drops to 3.8 ghz. I originally set the OC to 4.8ghz at 1.255v.
Am i doing something wrong here? I also have Windows power management settings to High Performance (if that helps). Much needed advice helps.
ps- 8700k is delidded and used LM between die and IHS. Noctua thermal paste between IHS and heatsink.
