how to overclock
what are the steps to increase the clock speed of your intel core i5 sky-lake? i'm new to this and want to understand how to do it later.
Hi Jeremy,
The guideline is to set everything on auto, then perform a stress test and record your voltage and frequency, entering them manually in the bios. You have two options:
1°/ Improved performance: Increase the multiplier until it becomes unstable, then adjust the voltage (increments of 0.025-0.05V). Once you reach the desired frequency, reduce the voltage as much as possible while keeping stability.
2°/ Better thermal management: Maintain the original frequency and lower the voltage as much as feasible until stability is lost.
Edit: Tips should stay below 1.35-1.38V and 85°C during the stress test for regular use.

Hello sir, regarding your question, what kind of motherboard do you possess? The process of overclocking relies heavily on the specific motherboard model. Additionally, the cooling system you have is crucial as overclocking generates significant heat, making temperature management essential.
