Yeah I went with a 1080i in this new build so I could set myself up for a while. I am terrible at deciding when to upgrade specific components versus just building a whole new computer...but the build I had before this new one was around for 4-5 years so I think it lasted a good long time.

Ok cool. So I basically did the realbench stress test at 1.285 and it did freeze a bit when I was moving the mouse around and opening internet windows. I went down to 1.28 and it seems to be doing ok. I don't really understand voltage at all. Like..if it still says 4.7ghz overclock...what the...

Ugh so I just got some bad results. I did another stress test with cinebench and my temps got up to 88-89 before settling around 86-87. The pump kicks in hardcore when it does that, so I know its working decently. Perhaps this level of overclock is too much for the cooler? Damn maybe I should...

Oh man thanks I forgot about corsair link completely. I will download that now. Let me know what you think about what I pasted. the help is super appreciated man Edit: I downloaded corsair link. I couldn't find a way to set the pump speed specifically but I set it for performance now and I...

So I decided to revert back to default settings and then uses the EZ tuning wizard for extreme overclocking and these are the new results...but the voltages are extremely high now compared to before CPUID HWMonitor Report...

I did start with a fully updated bios. I pretty much just followed that guys video to a T. I did originally set a voltage but I reverted it to auto. It still says like 1.34 in the bios though so I'm not quite sure. As far as the downclocked...im curious because it says 3.7 or 3700mhz when I...

Oh geez I did a torture test for 1 minute choosing the max heat option and I went to like 96... as soon as I stopped it went down to 50s and then a few seconds later the 40s. I don't know what im doing lol.

Hey thanks. The ambient temps say 35-40 when im just browsing or downloading games. I'm literally super new so I don't know exactly where I would find my voltages. Do you mean the ones in the BIOS or just the ones I can see in the CPUID "Hardware monitor Nuvoton NCT6791D Voltage 0 5.04...

Hey guys, I am a BRAND new overclocker. I just put together my PC today... i7 8700k 3.7ghz with a CORSAIR HYDRO SERIES H100i v2 AIO Liquid CPU Cooler. I have an ASUS ROG Strix Z370-E. I followed a tutorial on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=os8x9AV4ToI&t=559s) and followed the...
