What methods are available for enhancing the performance of an I7 9700K processor?
I have a 240 aio and maintain good temperatures while gaming. I’m considering overclocking my 9700k but I’m unsure how to do it. I’ve already enabled XMP for RAM and used NVIDIA’s auto overclock for the GPU, which is the only overclock I’ve tried so far. I’m not sure about the process and would really appreciate any guidance. I’m aiming for around 4.9GHz or 5GHz with stable performance under load. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
