Overclocking Questions

So I just manual overclocked for the first time today, gpu was simple with afterburner (its at 7,000 memory and 2035 core), but cpu I have some questions about. I followed this guide: https://overclocking.guide/gigabyte-z370-overclocking-coffee-lake/ up through step 4. I did not touch uncore or voltage levels. I set my core to 46 and saved and exited, here's the result of my half hour stress test: https://imgur.com/a/lKzpSLh  . Onto the questions :

1. Does it matter that I didn't change the uncore/voltage levels if it still went to 4.6 stable?

2. With how low the temps are, should I try changing the clock ratio to 50?

2a. If I do this do I have to change the voltages then?

2b. If I go with the 50 clock ratio, can I just follow the rest of the guide info that was used for the 8700k including uncore and such?

Here's my build: I am planning on buying another 8gb ram soon also.

Use HWinfo, it's far more detailed than HWmonitor.

 

1. No it doesn't

 

2. No, keep increasing it one by one. It's not going to save you time or anything, and it's harder to expect what will happen.

 

3. you'd want to experiment with how LLC affect voltages first. Ideally you should use the LLC setting with the least difference of core voltage between idle and full load.
