you can overclock the cpu in the BIOS.

[ChrisAngels]

And for the GPU?

not sure where you can overclock the gpu, maybe also in the bios or in the driver software.

Good 'ol MSI Afterburner =P

wait hold up i just noticed lol.. you bought an 8700k and a GTX 1080TI to game on a 60HZ monitor at not even 1080P? 0,o Please tell me that just an extra monitor you picked up as a side screen? If not, there is aboslutely no point in overclocking, or even having that high of specs unfortunately as your screen wont show higher FPS than whats its capable of anyways and at stock, your pc is like 5x the amount of overkill needed if not more lol

As mentioned by @marten.aap2.0 and @L.Lawliet, using Asus' built-in BIOS auto-overclocking features and MSI Afterburner is likely to be your safest approach.

 

That said, as I look at your build, I'd ask what you're hoping to improve in your PC experience? (not that we ever need a reason, here at LTT forums  )

 

You have a fairly upscale system. If you're going for 'bragging rights' (a worthy reason for most of us  ) be sure to do the homework. Else, you're going to find that an 8700K + 1080 Ti 11Gb is going to comfortably muscle through all but the most demanding ultra settings or workloads.

 

Cheers!

 

P.S. This forum is probably fine. Otherwise here is a fine place for such questions.

no worries  Thinking of ether going with a wide screen or 4K.  Any tip on what to upgrade to?

mm, honestly there might be some better guys with more knowledge on best bang for the buck. Each type of screen has there benefits and drawbacks that i just recently read about myself. TN has better response times and can have high HZ panels but not as good colors or contrast usually, IPS has a bit slower response times and cant go quite as high as TN in HZ but much better contrast and colors (not really all the details or super in depth but the rough gist i read about from gamersnexus). if your on a tight budget, a TN panel is probably more affordable, and i would recommend something with Gsync for your high end PC to really bring out the best of it, and honestly going 1440P would be great for your setup as your PC can handle it easily at max settings. Look for 144Hz+ panels so you can really push the limits on your gaming experience without capping your FPS too low. They can get pretty spendy for specs like that though, so if your needing a cheaper monitor, 1080P still looks fine, you can get Gsync in that as well, and also 100-144+Hz displays (i dont think IPS goes higher than 100Hz).

Theres an example. Definately get some other people perspectives though as they might be able to find you exactly what your looking for

Heres two options for IPS variants. Ive personally used the Acer Predator, and i can say i was thoroughly impressed.

 

again, im not the best person you could ask about monitors. To find the very best monitor for your $, you could make a new post (not sure which section) all about monitors to get tons of options. just put down some simple essentials like 144Hz+, Panel type, Tilt and swivel preferences, ETC that you would like to see out of your ideal perfect monitor. Also put down your RIG specs in the details or you'll most likely be asked what your running

This looks like a worthy monitor https://www.asus.com/us/Monitors/ROG-SWIFT-PG35VQ/overview/ can't wait to see the price on it tho

Honestly, I dont think you'll need 200Hz refresh out of a monitor  i mean sure some games like overwatch and minecraft could do it, but triple A titles at ultra settings, could do just fine with a 165Hz and save a bit of money and you most likely wont even be able to tell the difference past 144 anyways. Also im not sure what type of panel that is. If its a VA panel, from what i read its not exactly the most recommended for gamers as it has slower response than the other alternatives, but offers great color depth and contrast.

take a look through those. See if you can find anything you like out of them.

You can use the motherboard's AI Suite 3 software to fine tune system operation and overclock. While it won't get the most out of the hardware, the software is able to automatically establish a safe overclock.
