Should i overclock?

[charbel1011]

Si i bought my i7 8700k a long time ago and i didn't unleash it's full potential yet is it worth to overclock it performance wise. I have the asus z370a prime motherboard and 16 gb ram 3000mhz and gtx 1080 ti.

But isn't 5ghz for the first overclock too extreme?

what do you have for a cooler? Cuz you're gonna need some serious heat removal...

DO u know where can i start? and do you think the 5ghz isn't too extreme? what should i start with to see better performance?

[knightslugger]

start at the bottom, work your way up. eventually you will hit one of two things: a Voltage cap or a thermal cap. Start where you feel comfortable. You're gonna get a lot of blue screens before you get there. Change one thing at a time or you'll end up frustrated.

i think the start point for 8700k is like 1.35v 4.7 (been awhile), almost every 8700k will run that, check temps.
