Just starting with overclocking, I've looked into it and tried it on my own.
Just starting with overclocking, I've looked into it and tried it on my own.
Hello there! I kinda new to forums here! So I'm sorry if im not doing anything the correct way.
So, TLDR. Here are the specs.

And so I tried overclocking cpu thru software at first but nothing worked (which I found out later was not the right way). But I tweaked the gpu a bit (Although I'm not sure if what I did is right and If there was a proper guide for the gpu I have it would be godsend.) and after knowing that I could overclock thru the bios I ended up using the "performance" profile by asus and then enabling XMP and some features (which I dont even know are helpful or not)
My usage is kinda heavy as I use 2 displays at 1080p and I watch videos, play games, edit videos, photoshop, design, and a bunch of other random stuff. (Sometimes maxing out my ram with only chrome tabs)
I cannot stream gta on SLOBS or OBS, Only with Geforce(wish dosent have much customization). I will have to manually end my rgb softwares thru task manager (AURA, CAM, Synapse) so pc doesn't keep being glitchy.
Here is what HWMonitor says after all kinds of loads and usages:

This might clear some doubts.
I know im stressing out the pc and I want to be better at maintaining my pc which is why im asking from the best (you guys!)
If there is anything else I need to provide please do say so.
Sincerely,

My goal with overclocking is to enhance performance, but if your focus is mainly on gaming, the benefits may be limited.
I checked the links you mentioned. Do you want me to review them together?
For 7700k you can easily achieve a gentle overclock of 4.4-4.6GHz using the Krakken. I recommend starting at 4.4Ghz in adaptive mode. Since your GPU is quite powerful (1080Ti), it’s best not to let the CPU become a bottleneck while gaming. Streaming a 8700K would be more suitable than 8600K or 7700K. Edit: your CPU hit 99/100C max, so you might want to reduce the overclock from 4.9Ghz.
Exploring sophisticated overclocking techniques, I'm looking for manual overclock resources since detailed guides are still hard to find online.
What advanced overclocking techniques are there? I'm trying to manually overclock but haven't found a good guide yet online. It's not complicated, just pick something that works and gradually reduce the voltage. After each drop, run stress tests and keep repeating until you hit a failure. Then increase the voltage slightly and test again to confirm. Basically, this is the process. 4.9G is probably too high for your setup. I'd suggest aiming for around 4.4GHz or similar, operating at about 1.25-1.3V.
Ah, thanks for the input. That makes so much sense. I will try to manual overclock from 1.3v and under, Maybe lower the clock as of now. As for the cpu I think i have already damaged it. I'm seeing signs of it. Are there any guides for this specific processor? Or maybe even the Asus BIOS?
