Hi everyone. I recently upgraded my 8 year old PC to an i7 8700k rig for music production and image editing. It's also a general purpose PC, but it's still a K Intel so it would be great to utilize that feature. With that... Can anyone recommend a particular overclock setting that I could just set and forget for the rest of the life of the computer? I guess constant stability, some performance enhancement and longevity are my main goals. Also, not sure if this affects the CPU overclock setting but I did enable my XMP since the default was 2133mhz and the 32gb Ripjaws I got were rated for 3200mhz.
Due to the availability of parts from where I live, I can definitely say that this is a pretty unbalanced build.
Here are the rest of the parts...
Motherboard : Gigabyte z370m D3H
PSU: Dark Power Pro 1200 watts
GPU: Zotac GTX 770 running dual monitors (I don't use my PC for gaming, but I might try one game in the future... DCS)
Storage: 1TB Samsung 360 EVO
Cooler: Corsair h80i v2
That's about it. Thanks!
(Sorry for the noob question, but I did try to Google as much as I can.. and the results were mostly about gaming performance and how to push it to 4.8 - 5GHz, which I think will just strain and eventually break the CPU before its intended lifespan )
