What are the optimal overclock settings for GTX 1080 and Intel Core i7 8700K in MSI Afterburner?
You need to update the BIOS for your 8700K. This chip can reach up to 5GHz easily, so expect speeds around 4.7-5.0GHz across all cores—just ensure proper cooling. For the 1080, performance varies by card. Experiment with VRAM and GPU clock speeds, increasing them in small steps (like 50MHz for GPU and 100MHz for VRAM) to see what works best. Monitor the system closely; if it crashes during a game, restart and lower settings. If overheating is an issue, adjust settings accordingly.
