good overclock settings i5 8400

[juhoplays_]

voltage if overclocked to 3,80ghz

Did you mean the 8600k?
Because the 8400 is a locked processor, it can't be overclocked.

 

[juhoplays_]

well everyone says that it can be overclocked

8400 is locked, get a good cpu cooler as turbo boost can take it to 3.8 @ all cores on auto.

Who is everyone? Because they're wrong.
Only Intel cpus with a 'K' at the end are overclockable. A Z-series motherboard is also required.
It used to be possible to overclock older non-k cpus, but Intel fixed that with bios updates.

Somewhere around 1.3v but that might vary on cpu lottery.


Phaaze the locked CPUs cant go over the locked boost speed but you can OC all 6 cores to around 3.9 with one core boosting to 4-4.1Ghz if your lucky.

All the CPU's that i have seen are doing 38x 102.5 at around 1.31v

With adequate cooling, and those clocks are still within Intel's defined specs, aren't they? Then I wouldn't consider that an overclock.

Running all cores at max turbo instead of a single core is indeed effectively an overclock....if you are on a decent Z370 motherboard with XMP and MCE on/enabled...
