For stress testing I would recommend the following steps :
Let's assume you start from beginning :
Adjust the bios, set llc to 6, sync all cores to 5G and set voltage to 1.3
stress test with prime 26.6 custom preset 8x8, run fft in place, for 1h ! monitor the temps, if they stay below 90C good.
If the system crashes increase the voltage by 0.5 to 1.305
Repeat the previous step until you find voltage you can run stable.
Repeat the prime custom test to confirm all dialed in values, cpu, core cache, vccio and system agent.
Only in the end run the long stress tests more than an hour, chances are if the system can stay stable for an hour on 8x8 prime then it can withhold anything you throw at it.

Please read my last reply regarding llc 6 etc.
I get vboost and not vdroops. What is your thoughts on this?
Also, when i ran prime95 v26.6, i used custom 1344-1344 fft. What is the difference from that to 8-8 fft ?
Another thing about stresstest.
With 1.350v manual, i passed 1344-1344 fft for 15min, but failed Intel Burn Test almost instantly.
What is your thought on IBT?

LLC 5 is kind of bad in my experience, I was in a similar situation as you with it. 1.38v.
Try increasing LLC to 6 and lowering the voltage to ~1.33, with just this adjustment I was able not only keeping my 9700k 5g stable but even increase it to 5.2

Both of these settings seems kind of high as well :
VCCIO: 1.250v
VCCSA: 1.150v
There should be room for improvement, on 5.2 I think I am running 1.1 and 1.05 or the other way around (4000 C17) , and lowering both of these voltages I also dropped about 6 degrees during stress test.

For instance, i've tryid adaptive 1.315v, LLC 6, and vcore was at 1.385v in windows. This is probably something to do with my VID being way higher than my set adaptive 1.315v. I've heard something about you can't force your voltages to be lower than what VID asks for, or something in that direction.

Where are you getting that ? Use HWinfo64 and make sure you are checking vcore :

With 8x8 you will know sooner if you have a problem with voltage or with max temperature.
I tried IBT in the beginning but gave up on it soon afterwards, it's a bit meh in my opinion. I went through most of the software and would recommend duo of Prime and Realbench to test cpu/cache/vccio/SA and memtest86 for ddr4 but to each their own.

Ok, so in regard to prime95 v26.6, if I want to use 8x8, i just type in 8, and 8 in the other field, and tick "run fft in place". Just like I did with 1344 - 1344, yes?
Okay. I've heard good and bad about IBT. However the guy that assisted me to get my manual voltage stable, told me to use IBT as a quick reference, to see if my system could potentially be stable long term.
