Gol into your bios and reset it to optimized default, then restart it and go back into the bios. Click the Advanced Tab. Once inside change it to Expert. Set the multiplier to where you are trying to overclock to. I would suggest not going any higher then 4.5ghz to start. Scroll down till you...

If you have a Microsoft account, you can go here to get a legit copy of windows 10. Then just link it to your account. Assuming you have one. Make sure you use the same version of 10 you use now. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

At 100% load your system is throttling. The cpu temps are way too high for load. This will ultimately fry you processor. Also the voltage on the cpu is too high. The combination of the 2 is going to kill your cpu. This is Tomshardware temperature guide...

If you already have a Microsoft account then all you have to do is link this install to it. First though you need to, as others here have said reinstall Windows. don't forget to pick up the latest drivers from the motherboard vendor. You can get a legitimate copy of Windows 10 from Microsoft...

That is pretty darn good cooling for a really bad air cooler for your cpu. Seems like you hit the lottery with those speeds at such low voltages. I would suggest testing with prime 95 version 26.6. Do the small fft test. The blend test is no proof of stability. It could be your actually stable...

You can get a less expensive power supply. Something with 650w would be fine for that build. 750w if you have plans for sli. Also that kracken is pretty high priced. I understand you want to match it with the case because they are both nzxt. However the Evga will give you the same results and...

If your computer is on a shared network that could be your problem right there. Shared networks lower bandwidth. Higher bandwidth helps games not to lag. Also as cookie said your pc is not that powerful and perhaps you should lower your settings.

I could not find the article, but I read somewhere here on toms' the 2700x is the best gaming cpu. Not because of the framerate, but because of all the things you can do at once. Such as recording and streaming, while gaming. Without putting stress on your cpu. So ya, if you can afford it buy...

Your 4 generations back. I know this chip because I own this chip. 4.5ghz is barely a blip on this cpu radar. I also own an MSI motherboard as he does. These chips are made to overclock. I did make mention on the differences in cpu coolers, and at 4.5ghz his vcore, even if it hits 1.208 as...

Simple answer to a simple question. You will be good to 4.5ghz. All you will have to do is raise the multiplier and nothing else. 4.7ghz will give you too much heat for that cooler. I know you can do 4.5 by just raising the multiplier because on my i5 8600k I can do 4.6ghz by doing just that...

I run my 8600k at 5.0ghz 24/7. I probably get 15 to 20 fps more then I would at stock. I have a 2560x1080 144hz LG monitor. I get good framerates even though I am only rocking a gtx 1070. I personally think you will be very happy with the i5 8600k

Use LLC. Set is someplace in the middle. It will keep the cpu voltage from dropping on load. Might end up raising it a bit if the voltage is needed. Also, Prime 95 version 26.6 does not use AVX. Use small fft.
