Can i overclock the cpu of this prebuilt pc?

[semvk8]

Hey everyone,

I’ve been looking at a prebuilt recently and it’s a pretty good deal.
it’s a pc with a 1080 ti and liquid cooled i7 8700k for only 2k euros.
I really want to buy this pc, but I want to be sure I can overclock the i7 8700k even though it’s a prebuilt.

Can i overclock a prebuilt pc with these specs?




Gpu : Gefore GTX 1080 TI
Cpu : Intel I7 8700k
Motherboard : Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Gaming 5
Cpu cooler : Enermax Liqmax 240mm
Ram : 16gb 2400mhz DDR4
Storage : 250GB Samsung EVO 860 SSD and 1TB SATA600 7200rpm 32MB
Case : AZZA Dragon Inferno 310 RGB ATX
Psu : Seasonic S12II 620 watt

ps, I know the psu is garbage.
Does that make the whole pc not worth it though?

Yes you can, it is Z370 Board with a 'K' or unlocked processor.
Gigabyte Z370 Arous Gaming 5 has 11 power phases I think. So you should be able to get a more stable overclock, and 8700K overclocks like charm. So do enjoy your case and make a fine OC And 620W is enough for those components, so I'd say its worth it. Since you can change it whenever for 100 euros.

Yes, you can. Also, the PSU is not garbage, quite the opposite.

As herrwizo said, that PSU is not garbage. Its one of the best quality units out there. Seasonic makes great PSUs and almost all of their psud are very good quality.
