Yeah I knew that about this board....was Steve that told me about this board long time ago.....
These temps run higher then I am used too....but that is normal I guess for this chip.... got a lot to learn.

At 5GHz mine idles at low 30's, and under heavy benching(not validation but real benching and burn in's) high 70's to low 80's.

Have you adjusted your fasn curve yet?

Hi,
Are you sure using llc is a good idea to use ?
What does auto voltage do for 5.0.. just using the same avx offset the 8700 used ?

Yes LLC is on 6
AVX is on 2 Always had it on 0 for my 8700K
Volts are staying at 1.360 @5.0

I never ever use auto voltage. When I tried it the voltage when way to high(IMHO) and you loose stability as the voltage is all over like a mexican jumping bean.

Mike let me go for a few minutes and I'll go into UEFI and get a txt copy of my current settings for 5,0 and 5.3
