Help overclocking an i7 7700k w/ Corsair h100i v2

Yeah soooo, I’ve been running my pc with a 7700k at stock (4.2) and I recently looked at my performance and my cpu is throttling when rendering video footage (normal) but it’s been taking longer than normal. I figured that overclocking my cpu will boost the performance and if not it will be fun to do lol. Any tips? 

Motherboard: msi z170a pro

the motherboard isn't the best, but try 4.7ghz (47 mult, 100bclk) @ 1.25v, run aida64, if crash, increase to 1.26, if crash, 1.27, etc. If it crashs past  ~1.32v (don't know kaby lake that well), its prob vrm throttleing.

4.8 and above might be iffy becuase vrms.
