How would I overclock my CPU?

Go to solution Solved by Fasauceome,

Using a video tutorial on how to overclock is the best way of going about it. Text isn't the easiest way to convey this information. Searching "core i9 overclocking guide" will help a lot, and the LTT channel has one as well.

What procedures/steps should i do to overclock my cpu??

How much can my cpu reach?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.
