i need assistance with overclocking and want to learn more, even though i'm very new to it.
i have an asus prime z370-a i7 8700k with evga 1000 watt gold, msi 1080ti duke oc 11g, 32g of ddr4 corsair vengeance lpx 3200mhz, and a cryorig ultm r1 for cooling. i want to overclock but i need someone patient who can walk me through everything step by step, explaining each part clearly, even though i’m very new to computers and mostly self-taught. all the videos i watch on youtube seem to move quickly or don’t explain what’s happening or why changes are needed. i understand i’ll have to slow down before i can go faster, but i really want to learn overclocking properly.
rule one, if you overclock, it may burn out and you'll have to purchase new parts
rule two, don't overclock if you can't afford it
rule three, increase frequency until it becomes unstable, then raise voltage to stabilize, continuing until temperatures remain acceptable
Not really worth it considering you have 1080. If you're really into OC, try experimenting with the 1080’s Core clock and memory clock. Avoid voltage oc as it can shorten the GPU's lifespan.
CPU overclocking is a bit complicated, so it's better to stick with GPU OC.

If you can read and understand what you're reading, then this should be useful. If you have particular questions along the way, I'm ready to assist to the best of my ability. Just remember what we often say in the enthusiast community though. I can break it down for you, but I can't grasp it on your behalf. LOL. So if you think you're good at taking in and processing information, this should be beneficial. If not, I'd likely skip it unless you like getting frustrated. And when it comes to boosting your graphics card's performance, this is probably what you should focus on. https://www.firstcallonline.com/FirstCal...index.html

rule number one, if you overclock, it may burn and you'll need to purchase new hardware.
rule number two, avoid overclocking if you can't afford it.
rule number three, increase frequency until instability appears, then raise voltage to stabilize, continuing as long as temperatures remain acceptable.
Is 1.4028 Volta safe as a core voltage? The Asus motherboard has a one-click 5.0 overclock option, but the voltages are at 1.4028.
1.4028 is beyond what I can handle... A manual overclock to 5GHz should be possible with less than 1.4v, even at 1.35v or below. My 8700K has a hard stop at 1.325v. There are great resources for CPU overclocking on the ASUS board, and I definitely recommend trying a manual overclock to achieve a lower vcore.
In my view, any overclock exceeding 1.37v is outside the safe limits for regular use, even for Intel. Manual overclocking through BIOS is recommended to maintain control over voltage and frequency. Automatic settings tend to push voltage too high for stability, often leading to a lower safe thermal limit. Choosing automatic options usually sacrifices much of the frequency range you can safely use.

Of course. Always ready.
I tried the load 5.0 setting on the Asus motherboard, but everything I read suggested the auto OCs were terrible at low voltage, sitting around 1.428. So I changed it to 1.350 and it seems to be working perfectly.
