understanding the core concepts for i7 7700k
Do you have any recommendations or a guide? CPU model is i7 7700k with cryorig air cooler, motherboard is ASUS Z270F gaming. I don’t want to hit the system’s limits, just a slight improvement in performance.
A straightforward method.
Slowly adjust the standard core multiplier from 42 to a higher value.
Keep all voltages set to auto.
Perform a stress test using CPU-Z.
Track the vcore with cpu-Z and your temperatures. HWmonitor works well.
If the stress test temperature reaches 85°C, reduce the load.
If the vcore hits 1.35, lower the load.
With a better cooler, you might reach 48.
Applying speedstep will lower the multiplier and vcore when there’s little activity.
That’s beneficial.
