8700K questions (and some odd findings)

Hello

I would like to ask if there is a datasheet for the 8700K to be downloaded somewhere ?

Im trying to get my DDR3000 ram to be stable with my 8700K, so full specs on the Cpu and voltage ranges would be very nice to have for tweaking the IMC safely

And to anyone haveing issues with your 8700K at stock settings, do check your bios and disable MCE, Core enhancement, Enhanced turbo ratio, or whatever the producent has called this option.

Also this may not be enough in it self, on both my Asrock Z370M Pro4 and MSI Z370 SLI Plus i had to manualy input stock turbo values for 1,2,3,4-5 and 6 core use, or they would still go to 4,7Ghz on all cores on "stock/auto" settings

You can use Realtemp (run the i7TurboGT.exe) to monitor core clocks indevidualy under load.

Some, but not all, of the information you wanted:

Ah but it is all the needed info, just very technical, but i got what i asked for, datasheets

Though if some Intel rep comes by with what values to set specificly for a minor OC of the IMC, it would be very nice still

That said, the Auto-OC these motherboards apparently dishes out automaticly may be an issue in it self, who knows if this is stable and maybe effects the overall stability, and hence the IMC stability.

So i still have to check if my ram will run stable now that i got that turned off
