Overclock gpu cpu
Hi, I just got my new PC and I wanted to know if I could push the CPU or GPU beyond their current speeds without issues. The specs are: CPU I5 8600K base (3.6 turbo 4.3 GHz), GPU 1070 Ti, PSU 750W, motherboard Gigabyte Z370P D3, and a Hyper 212 EVO cooler. Right now it runs at 4 GHz without any problems. Could I safely reach 4.3 GHz? And what if I try to go even higher—like 4.5 GHz—without a liquid cooler and a top-tier motherboard? Is the motherboard strong enough for both the CPU and GPU overclocking? I’m sure I can handle 4.3 GHz easily!
It's not necessary to push your CPU further; a 4.3 GHz is sufficient for running games and other tasks!
Your CPU can be easily boosted beyond its standard speed. The exact increase relies mainly on your success in acquiring a quality chip. A rating of 4.7 across all cores is expected. Slowly increase the multiplier and perform a stress test. Keep all voltages set to auto. Watch the vcore using CPU-Z and avoid exceeding 1.4v. Maintain a temperature around 85°C during testing, as this is the optimal range. The CPU may throttle or shut down if it detects temperatures near 100°C. With strong case airflow (two 120/140mm fans), your Hyper212 will function adequately. When you hit your limits, reduce the speed and use speedstep and adaptive voltage to lower the multiplier and vcore when the CPU is under strain. For the graphics card, avoid overclocking; better quality chips with built-in factory overclocking are available in higher-end models.
