i7 7700K Overclock help
You might think about premium air cooling, thermoelectric cooling, or top-tier AIO CLC water cooling options.
I completed testing my i7 7700k after many hours. I achieved a 4.8ghz overclock using just 1.20v. My temperatures stay at 75c under full load, with an average of around 70.5c across all cores. I’m using the Kraken x62 in fixed mode with 60% fan speed and 80% pump. I wasn’t planning to push further, but I’m happy with my current setup! Thanks for your support!
You might want to reduce your Core Cache ratio as well, since it doesn't really add much performance gain. I'm using a Core Cache multiplier of 40 instead of the default 42. Also, setting the core multiplier to 49 at 1.325v seems stable. My motherboard is an ASUS Maximus IX Hero.
