Overclocking I7-7700k to 4.5ghz
Overclocking I7-7700k to 4.5ghz
This looks fine
I'm just starting out with overclocking and did my best here
4.5 GHz is the built-in turbo speed. Your temperatures look fine. You have plenty of room for both heat and power.
The_Staplergun :
You might want to test 4.8 at 1.28 volts or 4.9 at 1.32. Check if they work. If either one functions and the temperature remains under 80°C, proceed. You can lower the voltage by 0.005 and keep testing until it becomes unstable, then increase it again. I tried 4.9 around 1.31~2—it was stable but the temperature reached about 82 in full load, so I considered using a dual fan on my Noctua cooler to see if that helps.
The dual fan will provide some assistance. It's likely to bring the temperature down to around 80. If it stays at or below that level during peak times, it's operating efficiently and performing well. A rating of 4.8 should be sufficient at this stage.

I felt a bit nervous because I had an AMD APU before switching to the kabby, and it was operating at lower temperatures. I believe the thermal margin was also reduced on the APU.
Thanks again for the advice
