Intel core i7 10700k overclock

[Reflow4]

So i overclocked my intel core i7 10700k to 4.8ghz and when i run cinebench r20 my cpu gets up to 185 F

i am using Corsair Hydro Series, H100i RGB Platinum SE, 240mm Radiator

Exactly how many volts are you cramming down this poor soul? A cinibench run on a 240mm rad whould not get you to 85 C.

i did the MSI Game Boost OC

1.352

i turned off the OC and my CPU ran at 145F on a Cinebench R20 run

1. At 1.352 volts you could probably hit 5.00 ghz so for 4.8 its a bit excessive

2. I dunno if the temps are normal as I don't have a 240mm aio but you could try remounting the cooler and see if that helps.

i didn't damage my CPU of anything right?

CPU temp limit is like 95C you're prolly fine since you're at 85C

Most people say that the limit for 10th gen is around 1.4 volts so you're below that and safe operating temperature are technically anything under around 100c so you're way under that.

Thanks, that's the only thing i'm worried about

I wouldn't use a mobo OC option, they are always pretty garbage since they are just throwing way more votls at your CPU than it needs. If you want to OC, take the time to read up, watch videos, read up some more, and then try it yourself. As long as you don't throw lots of volts at it you can't really hurt it.

 

Just read A LOT, ask some questions, and go about it slowly. What GPU and resolution are your monitor? You likely will see very, very little gains anyways. Also, a all core turbo of 4.8 is not really a benefit for a 10700k unless that retains the stock turbo operation as well. If your resolution is higher than something like 3440x1440p, a few extra MHz will make no appreciable difference anyways.

Adding to suggestions that @LIGISTX provided I recommend watching builzoid. Im pretty sure he has a video on overclocking a 10700k step by step.

(UPDATE) Turns out that my cooler was mounted weirdly so I re-mounted it and it dropped down like 30 degrees F
