Performance problems after increasing clock speed.
Performance problems after increasing clock speed.
I attempted to push my i7 7700k to 4.6ghz at 1.27v for a while, and after an hour of testing there were no issues, so I thought I had a solid overclock. However, game performance still showed problems. I then lowered it back to the default 4.2ghz at 1.3v, which seems too high for a regular stock 7700k. Despite that, my FPS drops remain significant in all games. I’m uncertain if I’ve harmed the CPU or not, and I’m unsure how to confirm. Some users claim they can manage a 4.6ghz overclock under 1.2v, but should I try reducing the voltage?
When overclocking, you must anticipate possible performance drops. Reverting everything back to the original settings in the program you used should resolve the issue; otherwise, uninstalling the program after finishing might help. Overclocking can be unusual because what works for some may not work for others.
