Hi guys, I was wondering if you can help me with overclocking a 7700K. I'm new to this and haven't done it before. I have some ideas about BIOS overclocking and want to know:

1. Should I switch to syncs all cores and enable XMP?
(Currently I have XMP enabled, and the RAM is at 4.2 GHz boost to 4.5)
2. Should I change the core ratio to 47 for a target of 4.7 GHz?
3. Should I adjust the core voltage?
(I'm not sure what value to start with and am confused about it).
I'd like to begin around 4.7 GHz or even 4.8, and the voltage should start at 1.328 or something similar. Any other steps I need to take? Could you give me a quick guide so I can follow your advice?

Specs: 7700K, Asus Strix Z270F Motherboard, NZXT Kraken x62 AIO and Gskill Ram RGB 16GB 3000MHz case, 14mm fan. Thanks!

Kewl beans, thank you all... that's a great chart too... whoever created it is really smart, right?

Here you go, check out the guide at the link.
Jaysus...5.4 on the 7700k...he must have liquid nitrogen cooling, I brought the 4790k to 4.8, but it would blue screen time and time, so I thought it wasn’t worth tweaking the voltage anymore—it’s stable at 4.6... so I just left it alone.
