i5 8600k

Recently I've been experiencing stutters and crashes while gaming, I upgraded from GTX 1050ti to RTX 3060, and I used DDU to uninstall any instances of previous GPU drivers and freshly install new GPU drivers. Firstly I thought that maybe games were on my HDD and that's why they must be...

I am planning to get a RTX 3070 with my i5 8600k cpu. I have overclocked it to 5ghz at 1.415v Is this a good combo or would it bottleneck my CPU?

So I've been having crashes after about 10 minutes in any of my games, or in some cases they don't even open at all. I also had my ssd die the other week for no particular reason. I did some reading and apparently really the only way that can happen is due to a bad psu. My. specs are: GPU: RTX...

Hey guys, Random question here, So yesterday I installed a new motherboard on my computer (MSI z390 Carbon Gaming) and it seems to be running better than ever, I have an overclock of 4.7ghz on my i5 8600k @1.280v, it runs flawlessly on every game and seemed to be perfect, so today I sat down...

I'm not a big computer guy, just a casual gamer, and I built a computer in 2018 using an i5-8600K and no graphics card since most of what I wanted to play was LoL since I have multiple consoles already and anticipated that I'd buy a GPU later whenever some prices drop, but it's been holding up...

I bought a i7 9700k for my computer yesterday and when I put it in I get 5 short beeps and the computer reboots. My old cpu is a i5 8600k and it worked just fine when I put it back in. I tried removing all ram, 1 stick at a time, every ram slot, reseating the cpu 4-5 times, reseting the cmos...

Hello guys, I recently upgraded my motherboard and AIO (specs below). After installation, my CPU temperature did not improve and it got about 4-5 Celsius higher. I checked fan speeds, they are performing fine and I recently dusted out the system. I plugged the AIO Pump into the Pump header...

Hello! I've got my i5 8600k clocked @ 4,5GHz, 1.2v; never had any issues. However, as I've recently noticed, my CPU clocks tends to oscillate between 4.498MHz and 4.502MHz, rather than staying fixed at 4.5GHz. Is that normal, or is it something that I should look into? EDIT: SpeedStep is...

As a first time builder, I was curious about the temps which my overclocked i5-8600k is running. I have overclocked it to 4800MHz and 1.25v. I could have pushed it further but wanted it to live for a little bit longer. Temps: Idle - 35°C Internet browsing (YouTube) - 43 - 51°C Gaming - 58 -...

I have built my first gaming rig about 8 months ago with an i5 8600K on an Asus ROG Strix Z370-E Gaming Motherboard with a 120 AIO from cooler master. Note that I have tried a complete stock use of the cpu @3.6 GHz and the temps are shockingly same for stock and my AI tweaked boost of 4.3 GHz...

Hi, I was playing a game when my screen started showing random green dots. PC shortly after completely froze. I restarted the PC thinking it was a windows error. The PC could not boot into windows, it kept trying to scan disks for errors. I managed to enter the bios but the colors are all messed...

i can run 1.3 v and 4.5GHz but can I possibly go to 1.2v and do the same thing is that safe or will I be taking some kind of loss 2.5v maybe? while at 4.5GHz 100% stress test temps were 60-75 usually that's not that hot but like I don't like it so that's why im asking if I could tone down the...

I have seen people leave their CPUs clocked to < 5GHz and I'd like to know what is a relatively safe overclock for this CPU and I'd like to know the easiest and fastest way to overclock

I have an option to buy either of these slightly used (i5-8600k & i5-6600k). I'm doing a budget build mainly for my woodworking business but letting the kids be able to play a few games on. Would you go for the 8600k at $175 or the 6600k at $140? I'm supposed to be picking up a GeForce 1050 Ti...
