I've a 1070 right now and it doens't change the fact that even a 8700k is running at 80%+ with BFV. My point was not about test a cpu with games, my point was that your cpu will not be really "tested" with most of the games out there. If you run a cpu at 5k and you play quake champions it's fine, you will have no problem and your temps will be at X degrees, if you play battlefield V your temps will be a lot higher and if your overclock is not done properly your pc will crash. I'm telling you this story becasue a friend of mine did exactly what i just said and he got BSOD untill he lowered the core speed to 4.8 with a lower vcore too.

So for me testing an overclock with "games" is not really ideal unless you find the right videogame for it. Using xtu or aida or whatever you like is just faster and better, imho.

I don’t recall, what is your monitor resolution? That 80% usage with a 1070 sounds like 1080p.
