Curious on what an experianced over-clocker could do with my set up.

The title pretty much sums up what im looking for. This is what im running, totally new to overclocking but my set up is pretty beast. i know this is a benchmark but its the only way i know how to show my rig without typing it all out.

 

Intel Core i7-8700K CPU @ 4400.0MHz - 2354 XTU marks on HWBOT

Average overclock for that CPU at ambient temps is 5 gig.

Get after it.

im not that stupid, but thanks.

[Mr.Scott]

No idea what you're asking then.

i was told trying to overclock to 5 gig is like trying to fry my CPU, i figured you were trolling me.

im looking at all these charts with my similar set up and it seems in comparison people with the same set up are overclocking more in areas that i am not? and theres profiles you can download to test on your rig? am i in the right area? lol

Looks pretty easy to me.

I have no reason to troll you.

i gotcha, i think im in the wrong place, i wanted to optimize my pc and use my rig to the best of its ability, i built a good pc, and id like to overclock a bit. just trying to get the bang for my buck i suppose. sorry for the misunderstanding.
