Hey everyone, I'm looking to boost my CPU to 5GHz and need to know the right voltage. I have a NZXT x62 cooler and a 700W power supply.

If you aim to boost performance, it’s wise to explore overclocking options tailored to your particular system. There’s no universal answer on the required voltage for a specific clock speed. You’ll need to experiment yourself, since each i7 8700k behaves differently. A quick search yielded several useful results to help you get started.

Each chip is unique. You can't simply provide a voltage.
