5.0 ghz on the 8600k

[cookiejammer456]

Will the cooler master masterliquid 240 rgb cool down an 8600k at 5GHZ? Some people say that the cooler is bad and flimsy but it seems a nice cooler. Should this cooler work? My case is a rosewill cullinan mx with 3 intake 1 exhaust all 120mm

5.0GHz is tough with any cooler. If you have a golden sample then yes, if not you won't be able to get there. Also you might need a delid.

ok but how do I overclock? Do I just set the cpu to 5GHZ or do I slowly ramp up the clock speed?

Before you do anything, you have a lot to read: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3038208/overclocking-cooling-water-cooling-sticky-index.html.

Would also strongly recommend against using any Windows application for overclocking (ex: trying to change OC settings from within Windows). Use the BIOS and use manual configs.
