Usually "overclocking" Intel processors means raising the multiplier past its standard value of 47 for models like the i7-8700K. This only raises the maximum turbo boost capacity. You might also look for a setting that forces all cores to reach the limit. I'm not sure what MSI refers to, but on ASUS boards this is referred to as "Multicore Enhancement." It could be similar on your board.

Not every system is the same. Have you checked any benchmarks on your current setup to find out what your CPU temperatures are? Without going below 5.0GHz all cores, the CPU will heat up a lot. That’s why Intel began reducing clock speeds as more cores are used. It’s been a while since I modified my system, but I’m running at 5.1Ghz with 1.4v and at idle it’s around 29*c. Also, I’ve had my CPU delided, liquid metal, and full copper IHS installed.
