I7 7700k OC

[RAID_BOMB]

Heyo

I just started overclocking and need some kind of guide how to achive the best oc for my CPU. I am using a i7 7700k on an Asus Maximus Hero VIII. Currently my CPU runs on 5Ghz on all cores without any additional voltage. How far should i be able to push it with my 120mm AIO my temps are arround 75°C with this OC.

So you're at like 1.2 volts? Damn that is a silicon lottery winner right there. You sure you're not just on auto voltage?

i am looking in my intel xtu and it tells me a core voltage of 1.2

Hot diggity that's a good overclock, I'd say get the highest clock you can for 1.25 volts, that way your CPU cooler will stay nice and quiet

That's very good. What are you using to stress test?

I don't know what their stress methodology is but I'm assuming if it's stable with that test it'll be stable in games.

i gonna do a stress test for about 2h now to see the max temperature (2h so the water can heat up)
