Hi, I just got a Corsair H115i Pro RGB cooler and am planning to pair it with my 8700K. I’m curious about how much I can push the CPU to reach around 4.8GHz without overloading the system too much. I want to avoid excessive voltage and keep temperatures reasonable. Here are my specs: ASUS Maxus X Hero (latest BIOS), 16GB Corsair 3000MHz RAM, Corsair H115i Pro RGB AIO, X570 case with three stock fans for intake and exhaust including AIO units. I’m new to overclocking and would appreciate the recommended settings to hit at least 4.8GHz per core. Thanks!
