Stork's MyHero II Build: ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z370 HERO X - i7-8700K - AMD RX 580 - Thunderbolt 3

even I have overclocked it to 5ghz ... greekbench reads the bios processor type after the manufacturer's id and puts its default settings ... unfortunately this is and we can not do anything to see the real value of the frequency...
do you use the intel power gadget to view the CPU usage percentage?
yes, rarely it reaches 100% ... only the temperature varies depending on the CPU usage

I was watching it in hwmonitor while I was running the benchmark, and the multiplier was staying below 50. But to be honest, the temps stayed so low, that I really can't complain too much.

This might actually extend the life of the processor by a lot the way it's working. And it seems to kick it up to 5ghz on extended hard tasks like compiling a large codebase, so that's just another thing I'm going to leave alone I think. Might save my power bill when I'm just surfing or playing a game (or allow the gpu to boost higher since the cpu isn't heating up the water too much).

I do not know what is the accuracy of hwmonitor, especially that there are 2-3 variants ... it is important as you said that the temperature should be as low as the value ... the multiplication in your case is 50, but I do not think is real and its display is not done in real time ... at least that's what I noticed ... it is certain that at this frequency the system is stable and an overclocking to memory can reach an efficient system not only in tests and benchmarkuri. I noticed this in the premiere render

@corint1 I overclocked my cpu to 5ghz in the uefi setup and all, but when I run Geekbench, 99% of the time it's clocked under 5ghz during the bench. Know a way to tell apple to not down clock to oblivion?

Though I admit, I did some compiling on the system using all 12 threads and it was just flying (make -j12) and I should have looked at the hwmonitor for that... because it was flying while compiling :D

Geekbench will not peg CPUs at max speed even on real Macs. Fluctuations are normal.

If you want to peg your CPUs at 100%, follow the directions at:

Hi @Stork ! Thank you for your work!

I want to make a similar build but on top of WiFi AC type motherboard.
Do you think it will work if I just plug Fenvi card or I will need to disable existing onboard wifi somewhere in BIOS ?

Also will this build work without discrete graphics(To already use it while I'm waiting for a good deal)?

@pastrychef has an ASUS Z370-G motherboard with the WiFi/BT. I recommend you read his build description for his solution.

another effective way to monitor the processor is : utility / activity monitor / window / cpu usage or history....

Just got the cpu to 5.1ghz with an avx offset of 2, staying around mid to high 70's fully pegged out on prime95. This hackintosh is blazing :D Spent like 2.6k for the parts and smoking the heck out of a mac pro :D

AVX offset never worked for me. If, for example, I had it set to 5.1GHz with AVX offset 2, the CPU would only ever get to 4.9GHz. It would never hit 5GHz or 5.1GHz.

AVX offset decreases clock frequency in increments of -100MHz to maintain stability and keep Core temperatures from increasing too high.
