New AIO for i7 8700k

[PUllock]

I picked up a 8700k and Asus Prime Z370-A and after a bit of tweaking I've managed to get the voltages under control. I've only done a little testing with them but voltage right now is set at 1.20v and this seems ok (so far).

However, when running OCCT with AVX Linpack enabled my temps shoot up to 87c at which point it cancels the test within 2 minutes. I'm guessing this is because I'm using a H80i GT in push/pull but I guess there just isn't enough surface area to dissipate the heat.

So I'm looking for another and so far my shortlist consists of the Corsair H100i V2, H115i, EVGA CL28. These are to go in a Fractal Design Define R5.

Just wondering if anyone else has had similar circumstances or advice, thanks for any help.

AVX is nuts - run it without and see how you get on

Thanks Tom, that does seem to of helped, been running 10 minutes and hasn't passed 75c but this is with the pump in performance mode and fans running at 95%.

If it seems stable enough I'll try dropping the voltage some more, I haven't been able to enable XMP for my memory yet as that seems to shoot the temps through the roof but one thing at a time I guess.

Sounds fine to me, honestly. You'll only see temps like that when encoding video or similar, and 75c is fine. It won't be even close while gaming. Maybe dial in some AVX offset for peace of mind.
