Hey everyone. I've been going through many overclocking guides and finally decided to try it myself, but I'm running into several issues. In benchmark videos and articles, most people manage to reach 4.9GHz with liquid cooling, but I'm struggling to get stable at that speed on Prime95—even up to 1.35 VCore. I've been using the ASUS ROG template for overclocking the 7th generation processors, but it doesn't seem to work. My current configuration is:

i7 7700k
H100i AIO (v2?)
16GB DDR4 3200MHz (downclocked to 2133MHz, XMP not enabled)
GTX 1080

If anyone has a moment to chat with me about this, I'd really appreciate it. My Discord is Dunshi#6954 if anyone has that and is available there, or feel free to reply—I'm here too.

Likely requires a slight increase in vcore.
Did you attempt any settings below 4.9 first?

It seems you're asking about adjusting the VCore value. You mentioned testing lower versions like 4.7 and 4.8, but want guidance on how high to go safely.
