Hello, I just upgraded my system to the current specs:
Case: NZXT H700i
CPU: 8700k
MB: ASUS Maximus X Code
RAM: 32GB Corsair Dominator Platinum @3200
GPU: ASUS Strix 1080ti
Cooler: Kraken x62
I have just delided my cpu and get get a potentially stable overclock of 5ghz at 1.35v at max temp of 75 degees C (so far). But I have noticed that after about 10-20 seconds into AIDA 64 or Realbench the clock will drop as far as 3400ghz. So far I have tried lowering the the overclock to 4.8 at 1.295v with a max temp around 60-62 degrees but about 30 seconds in it will drop to 4 ghz or lower. After reading around I'm assuming the culprit is the VRM overheating and throttling the speed. I'm currently running a fan setup of intake from the top and back with a push pull config radiator exhausting from the front and i have been testing with covers off to improve airflow.
I'm currently looking on solutions for better cooling or if this is an entirely different issue all together. My first idea was to remove the Plastic armor from around the vrm heatsink and/or add a fan somehow pushing air directly onto the VRM.
Any suggestions on this issue would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
