i5 8600k processor has a limit of 4.5 Ghz for overclocking.
I searched online for roughly three to four days without finding a fix for my issue. My i5 8600k doesn’t want to exceed 4.5 Ghz, which is crazy if the original spec should be up to 4.7 Ghz. I attempted to adjust it manually via BIOS, but Core Frequency and other settings are locked. I’m unsure where to begin. By the way, at first it ran at 4.7 GHz, now I don’t want to go above 4.5Ghz. Sorry for the English, it’s not my native language.

I wouldn't experiment with VCore voltage until you've got a solid base overclock, and even then, understanding its impact is important. Generally, the benefits from adjusting the VCore aren't worth it (except perhaps a slight improvement in benchmark scores). Also, depending on your overclocking method, you need to consider RAM voltages and other factors. I'd stick with the default settings and test the game to check the temperatures.
I don't have a CPU cooler myself, but I can help you find one based on your needs. What type of cooling solution are you looking for?
I wouldn't experiment with VCore voltage until you've achieved a consistent overclock and understood the implications. Generally, improvements from overclocking the VCore don't justify the effort (except possibly a few extra benchmark points). Additionally, depending on your overclock method, you need to consider RAM voltages and other factors. I'd stick to the default settings and run a game to check the temperatures.
I'm planning to test it now, open RivaTuner, and take a screenshot. It's actually quite unusual that the game BF1 runs without a Blue Screen but causes one when stressed with Fire Strike. If you need help, I can look into CPU-Z or Team Viewer using a remote—thank you for your patience.
P.S. I just tested it and everything looks normal: CPU temps under 63°C, GPU at 74°C, rendering scale at 200% for extra stress. I don't understand why Fire Strike triggers the Blue Screen.

I wouldn't experiment with VCore voltage until you've achieved a consistent overclock, and even then, it's not always beneficial—except perhaps for minor improvements in certain tests. Additionally, when considering overclocking, you must also account for RAM voltages and other factors. I plan to leave everything at the default settings and run the game to check the temperatures.
I'll start testing immediately, open RivaTuner, and take a screenshot. It's interesting how the game BF1 runs without a Blue Screen under normal conditions, but when stressed with Fire Strike it triggers one. If you'd like, I can add myself somewhere to monitor CPU-Z or use Team Viewer—though honestly, I'm not sure what to look for.
P.S. I just tested and everything looks good: temperatures are within limits (CPU up to 63°C, GPU at 74°C). I set the rendering scale to 200% for extra stress. I don't understand why it's causing a Blue Screen during Fire Strike, though.

NerdIT tried to explain the situation to kobrata69, suggesting they wait for a stable base overclock before adjusting VCore voltage and considering other factors like RAM voltages. They recommend keeping default settings and testing with a game, noting that BF1 runs without Blue Screen but shows issues under stress. The user shared a screenshot and mentioned their own test results, indicating temperatures stayed within normal ranges (63°C CPU, 74°C GPU) but warned that pushing the system too hard could cause problems. They also pointed out potential GPU limitations compared to CPU performance and suggested reducing resolution or scaling to prevent tearing.
