should I overckolck my cpu and gpu???

should i overcklock my cpu and gpu?? i use it mainly for gaming, games like:bf v, gta v, the witcher, call of duty etc...

Yes 

[Taja]

If your system is overkill, no. Because you wont gain anything.

 

Otherwise, yes. Its free performance afterall.

[Sebastian velez]

do you know what temps are likely to be optimal, or not to high??

30-50c idle and 60C - 70C max load is best when overclocking on Intel

I wouldn't keep my CPU/GPU temps over 80ºC for long periods

<83 is fine, <75 is ideal <60 is impressive

 

@Geography agree?

Well considering the 8700K has a tjMax of 100C and will run without issue until it hits 100C before it throttles back the clock to keep cool, I would say that's pretty inaccurate to say nothing above 70C is safe. Should you run at 100C 24/7? No but if you just peak in the 90s under 100% load then it's perfectly fine.

[Giganthrax]

If you're already getting way more FPS than your monitor can put out, then there really is no point in overclocking.

 

If, on the other hand, you have a low-to-mid range computer that dips below 60fps in certain games, an overclock can iron out those issues and make your games run smoother.

That's not proof. I've hit temps in the high 80s and low 90s, and yet all my CPUs lasted longer than I wanted to keep them.

 

And why do you think that 60C - 80C is "best" when overclocking on Intel? Isn't 50C max load better?

Won't say that I agree. I think 95C is "fine" even if others may not. IMO, 90C is the ideal max temp (if you worry about your hardware a lot).

it's just because >83 can shorten the lifespan of the parts that i don't recommend it

 

It sort of is a personal baseline

Instead of tagging random people, why don't you give an explanation? You clearly don't know what you're talking about.

random? what? i literally tagged the person that mainly helped me set my personal baseline. i do know what I'm talking about, and that's a personal baseline i personally keep, yours can be wildly different from that, and that's fine

 

I'm just giving my advice, you give yours. i don't need sources for everything

Here's what you said: "it's just because >83 can shorten the lifespan of the parts that i don't recommend it"

 

I'd be fine if you said "I think 83C is ideal", however you phrased your statement in a way that it sounded like a fact, which it isn't.

 

You need to clearly state that what you're saying is an opinion, so that you don't spread misconceptions.

it was a recall, so you're sort of right

 

but I'll keep it on s recommendation then

Aye stay cool

 

Nvidia's max temperature limit on the 2080 (and also other Turing cards) is 88C, so definitely dont want to go past that (not like you can when you cant disable their thermal throttling mechanics). The thing with Nvidia GPUs since Maxwell (at least) is that they dont boost as hard starting at about 60C, dropping more and more as temperature rises until 80 to 83C where they really drops a lot frequency. This is due to the process node shrinks, tiny hotspots form between transistors which are really difficult to cool and they hurt stability more and more as temperature goes higher.

The lower is always better, just balance out between more frequency or more noise. I myself keep it below 80C under stress test

Make sure you set vCore and remember 1.45 is where the line for getting dicey on voltage is

That's just insane for an 8700k that's not delidded, good luck not getting thermal throttling

Even if you run 1.55v it'll prob degrade the memory controller or something and your CPU won't last as long 

Vcore doesnt break your memory controller, Vccsa and Vccio break your memory controller even at 1.4v

If you have a 60hz monitor and you're getting 73fps, no need to OC.
