CPU Overclock Limited

Go to solution Solved by m0k,

Are you sure its not just a single core turbo speed of 4.3ghz? 

have you managed to somehow get 4.3ghz on all 6 cores?

 

you can not overclock on the B360 chipset.

my own I7-8700 + B360 will only result in a max 6-core turbo of 4,3ghz. - but like i said...thats just intel's regular turboboost 2.0 working as intended

Hey guys i'm new here so awesome to meet everyone. But I built a pc a few months ago and i'm having the weirdest issue that I have not seen before and don't even know what to search to possibly get help.

I have an i5-8600K with a B360 motherboard, and I can only overclock to a max of 4.3Ghz. It wont let me go above 4.3 like not that it won't post or the normal reasons. Like in my bios I cannot set anything higher than 4.3 which is really weird.

I don't know if it's because of the motherboard or something but I have a K series so I was super pumped to get some crazy overclocks like my previous build rockin the dinosaur FX-6300 where I have it at 5Ghz and loved it. So as an overclocker im pretty bumped I finally shelled out for my dream build and got stumped with this weird issue. If anyone has any info on this please help me out I literally don't even know what to google to find some sort of similar issue.

kek 4.3Mhz, I think you mean 4.3Ghz.

 

No, that's not an overclock, that's the 8600K's boost clock. You can't overclock at all on a B360 board, you'll need a Z370.

Inside some old case I found lying around.

It's not garbage. It's just not meant for a K chip, you should've done more research before building.
