Overclocking i5-8600k and H100i v2 is possible.
Hi maxfenlon
Depending on the CPU sample (Silicon Lottery) you should be able to run safely at 5.0GHz with the right BIOS updates.
The i5-8600k features a bclk at 3.6GHz and can reach Turbo boosts up to 4.3GHz. It’s best to keep Turbo disabled and use a fixed frequency. Begin OC at 4.3GHz once the baseline is confirmed.
First, stress test the system at its normal speed to establish a reference point. If it runs smoothly there, proceed with OC.
Download AIDA64 and HWInfo64, place them on your desktop together.
In AIDA64 perform a stress test for CPU, FPU, and Cache with the boxes selected.
Run the test for 10 minutes and capture screenshots at the 10-minute mark. Share the results here for further analysis.
The analysis will suggest an appropriate core voltage and...
Hi maxfenlon
Depending on the CPU sample (Silicon Lottery) you should be able to run safely at 5.0GHz with the appropriate BIOS updates.
The i5-8600k features a bclk at 3.6GHz and can reach Turbo boosts up to 4.3GHz. It's recommended to keep Turbo disabled and maintain a fixed frequency. Begin your overclocking at 4.3GHz once the baseline is confirmed.
First, stress test the system at its standard speed to establish a reference point for overclocking. If it remains stable, proceed.
Download AIDA64 and HWInfo64, placing them on your desktop together.
In AIDA64, run the stress test with CPU, FPU, and Cache boxes enabled.
Execute the test for 10 minutes and capture screenshots at the 10-minute mark. Share the results here for review.
The analysis will suggest an appropriate core voltage and advise checking rail voltages and temperatures under load.
Avoid attempting a jump to 5.0GHz all at once. It's better to make gradual 200MHz increments and stress test to assess performance.
Any issues? Just let me know.
BTW; Could you please specify your motherboard?
