Mine has very little overclocking room actually, but it's not thermally limited, I doubt yours is either. How are you determining that your part is thermally limited and not silicon limited?
- dogma1138 8y agoThey are not separate if your silicon can not do high frequencies on a fairly low voltage say below 1.35v you’ll be thermally throttled unless you delied and use a custom loop, as 1.4v+ would cause the chip to run way too hot. I haven’t seen any 8700K that would not reach 5.0ghz heck I haven’t seen one that wouldn’t reach 5.2 the question is at what voltage and if it’s sustainable under load.
