chrisflippo93 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Scott Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) Average overclock for that CPU at ambient temps is 5 gig. Get after it. Edited April 3, 2019 by Mr.Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisflippo93 Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 i was told trying to overclock to 5 gig is like trying to fry my CPU, i figured you were trolling me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisflippo93 Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
