Intel i7 8700k @ 4.3ghz 1.26V freezing on Games

Hi Guys

I am facing random freezing on gaming which last for 2-6 sec and only hear the bgm background everything else freezing. It resumes and never stuck on that screen and no blue screen at all.

Its so annoying that it cant be the thermal throttling or not sure . As the max temp recorded on gaming is 77 deg and lowest is 66 peak and avg is 55 deg c

Not sure .

I7 8700k @ 4.3gh

XMP profile @ 2800mhz ADATA 8x2 16gb with 17-17-17

mce- off

svid - best case scenario

Cpu core = manual . 1.26v

let me know what could be the issue. Is that 1.26 is undervolt for even 4.3ghz. I believe that when this happened earlier in the begining i was setting the voltage to 1.28-1.3v and that it was say 4.5ghz or 4.8ghz . so the temps are above 85 deg .

I have H100i-v2 cooler. it works ok only on Push and pull config it can handle the heat say like 35-48 deg c avg on ambient 33 degree.- 35 degree the coolant temp will start at 33 and will hit arround 47 degree on gaming and will come down to 40 degree after game stopped.

I would try without XMP 1st and see if it is stable at 2133Mhz.

Yeah, set everything to stock and check if it happens. Then enable your tweaks to the bios little after little until you find what's wrong. At this point we don't even know if it's the CPU.
