Overclocking question i5 8600k
Overclocking question i5 8600k
I realize there is luck involved and not all CPUs can obtain the same OC
but is attempting 5ghz reasonable
using i5 8600k on the Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 5 MB with the EK Fluid Gaming A240 cooling loop kit. Oh yeah Seasonic 650W 80+ Gold PSU
New to OCing and want to trying in my newest build. I can post a pcpartpicker for my entire build if needed.
Thanks

I really appreciate the appearance of the R6. I've been considering making a custom loop myself because of the ample space and the more refined glass design. I strongly dislike those Frankenstein-style components. Also, it seems like you have a solid chip. I'm looking for 1.245v at 4.8ghz. My current 5.0ghz reaches up to 1.35v with an LLC set at 5. At 5.1v I need 1.365 with LLC at 4 (the highest setting is the lowest 10). That would bring it to 1.395v, which is quite high for me. It's similar when I play and I end up in the upper 70s. Personally, I don't see a reason why you can't achieve 5ghz with the numbers you've shared.
I'm struggling to choose between the Fractal Design Focus G and the R6. Both seem to offer ample space. Thanks for the suggestion about moving from 3000 to 3200 Mhz RAM.
Hey there.
I have an i5 8600k with Aorus Gaming 5 and a G650M PSU.
My RAM is DDR4 G.SKILL 2x8GB Ripjaws V, and I'm really happy with that.
Regarding the motherboard, I think it's odd how it handles vcore loadline calibration. I can't reach 5GHz without needing a lot of voltage and heat, but I'm running at 4.8GHz with very low voltage (1.230) at high load for 8 hours and max temps of 80°C.
