Looking for assistance with OCing the 7700k. This is my first time overclocking and the guides seem a bit confusing.
Looking for assistance with OCing the 7700k. This is my first time overclocking and the guides seem a bit confusing.
I have tried using multiple Kaby Lake OC guides and none of them really cater to a first time overclocker, (excuse my ignorance if it should be very simple), but I really can't follow them. I want to try to get it to (maybe?) 4.5. I'm just not sure because I've never done something like this. If you could, just give me directions and include what I should go up to. Thank you so much!

Spyrohardware shared their experience trying various Kaby Lake OC guides for a first-time overclocker setup. They found it difficult to follow the instructions and are seeking guidance to reach a 4.5 rating. They provided details about their hardware and asked for step-by-step directions, including recommended settings.
I have attempted various Kaby Lake OC guides, but none of them are particularly suited for someone just starting out with overclocking. (Sorry for the confusion if it seems too complex), but I’m really struggling to keep up. I’m aiming for a 4.5 and am unsure because this is my first time trying. If you could provide some guidance and specify what steps to follow, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
