My system is still pending completion but hoping soon I get it together and can see how easy it will be to get to stable clocks.
 
Look forward to see everyone's results
 
Thanks

I'm running my 8600k @5.3ghz on the Asus ROG Strix-eGaming Z370 on 1080GTX F.E.
27C under full load on air

I was running 5.1 ghz with my Gigabyte Gaming 7.
I ended up selling the 8700k for an 8600k tho, I haven't noticed any difference gaming.

Unless you live in a refrigerator I highly doubt it. 
 
 

..and with a 212 EVO?  Are you a snowman?

Dang, thats winning the silicon lottery. My 8600k tops out at 4.8 before i lose system stability. Temps are low though.

 
What temps are you getting? 
I have mine on the evga z370 ftw. I have an 8600k at 4.8 with 1.28 volts at full load. I use the H150i pro and at full load I am hitting 72c after 8 hours of prime95 (avx disabled).

Why did you have to sale the 8700k for an 8600k?
Can you post some image of your Bois Settings?
Do you have a CPUz Web Link to review your CPU?
Like this one that is.  https://valid.x86.fr/6inny9

I might just go pick up a 8600K ,... I don't really think I need the HT of the 8700K.  I am only going to be gaming on this machine
 
Thanks guys!

Any updates?

Eh anyone can post a shot of 5.3-5.5ghz and take a screenshot doesn’t mean it’s stable.....I have a video of it running Firestrike at 5.0Ghz on air
@19C on the Physics test. I’m also running very fast memory by G-Skill, 3600mhz Trident RGB with XMP they run stable at 4,000mhz amazing memory, the RGB memory cycles through the cool colors like the board does.
I’llupdate A video of it doing 5,0Ghz @17C in Firestrike , having format issues maybe right now

Install CPU-Z and upload it like in the above post. Download Link 
That is what this tool is used for, it is not a Screenshot of a Desktop.
By the way most High Overclocks Cannot Pass CPU-Z Validator,
This is what we want to see on your 5.5GHz Computer. I am just saying that is.

19c is 66.2F  How can you be running 5ghz, 100% load, 19c on air?
What is the room temp where you're at?  The CPU can not be running colder than the room temp.
The sensor is not working right.

We are waiting for the Video link then, no joke.

But then this really is taking this Thread Off Topic of the OP because this is about the EVGA Z370 Classified K, 134-KS-E379-KR Motherboard and not an ASUS Motherboard.
 
But Glad you are getting 5.5 GHz on your Rig, enjoy.

Nope my 8600k runs 17-19c at full load across all cores@5Ghz on air, just uploaded a video of it, temp reading is coming off core temp so it’s very accurate😀 below is firestrike video at 5ghz it idles little hot but watch when she loads up to 92% and then tell me my 8600k doesn’t run at 17C...

It doesn't and If you really think a CPU gets cooler while being run at load on a $30 air cooler than it does while idle you are so completely clueless in how a PC works that you are beyond all help. 
 
What you are seeing on your *ahem* "read out display" is the result of bad/faulty software. 

Its not the software......... Core Temp was just updated for Coffee Lake CPU's-Version 1.11 - 4th November, 2017 -New: Support for Intel Coffee Lake, Denverton, Gemini Lake. It’s simply the way I have my fans set up.
This video https://www.dropbox.com/s...022%2005%20PM.mov?dl=0 does not lie. 100% usage @17C-19C it's right there for several seconds during the combined test, 
My memory is also faster than your 3200mhz....... what a waste putting such slow memory on that board. At least get memory of that is closer to the limit of the board....
You sound jealous if anything, a $30 Evo is way better than a lot of the "all in one" water coolers, take your tears elsewhere

LOL  like I said you are completely and utterly clueless junior. Clearly you are too incompetent to understand what you are claiming is happening is simply not possible with a mediocre $30 cooler. If you can reach 19C full load at 5Ghz on a $30 cooler why don't you enlighten us and the rest of the PC enthusiast world on what we are missing? You think you know something that the ENTIRE PC enthusiast, review houses and overclocking professionals don't know? Please kid, don't make me laugh. The mere fact that you even think you are running 19C at full load and it's not some kind of software/monitoring bug tells me all I need to know about your level of understanding of how PCs and thermodynamics work. 
 
Also, LOL @ calling 3200Mhz memory "slow" in comparison to 3600Mhz. The performance difference between 3200Mhz and 3600Mhz memory in virtually all PC tasks is negligible at best.

Please go educate yourself, it's almost cringeworthy reading your nonsense. 

guys, he must have a AC unit set at 50F bolted to the side of this case... only thing that could explain those temps on that cooler... if it was even possible with that. but I am guessing bad sensor or bad software
