I7 8700k oc help
I'm not sure about doing this, but I'm worried I might damage it. Any experts or guides could assist me with the steps? My system is an I7 8700k with Z390 Aorus Ultra, powered by 850w Corsair and housed in a Cougar Panzer max case. It has 3 front fans, one exhaust, and a nzxt x72 Kraken aio. Help would be really appreciated. Thanks.
A 1080ti is suggested to pair with a 600 W PSU. The motherboard consumes between 250 W and 350 W. Link: Another source mentions an 8700k overclocked at 4.9GHz using up to 170 watts plus, but throttling was observed, recommending 200-250 watts for safe operation at 5GHz (300 watts extra).

What is the complete model of your PSU? There are many Corsair 850w PSUs available. What GPU are you using? Are you running two GPUs? This is rare these days.
A 1080ti is suggested for a 600 W power supply unit. The motherboard consumes between 250 and 350 watts. The card draws 250 to 350 watts. Overclocking at 4.9GHz with 8700K results in up to 170 watts under load; for safety at 5GHz, aim for 200 to 250 watts (add about 300 watts).

Ryzen and Threadripper have matched Intel’s capabilities in recent tests. www.eteknix.com
Thanks a lot! You're definitely the real leader!
I'll give it a shot and send you an update.
