So I recently build a pc and got the 8700k but I’m not sure how much I should overclock it. The highest I got was 5ghz but I don’t want to decrease the CPU’s lifespan. What do you guys think is a safe overclock for this cpu while preserving its lifespan as well as getting better gaming performance and using the CPU for what it’s meant for.
I’m running the NZXT S340 with 3 Corsair 120rgb 120mm fans (2 front intake, one rear exuast), I have 1 stock case fan at the top of the case (exuast) and cooling my cpu is the Noctua NH-U9S
My mobo is the ASUS ROG Z370-H
GPU is 1060 6gb scc from EVGA
PSU is 80+ bronze 650w
500tb Samsung evo SSD
16gb DDR4 RAM
Power consumption is not an issue
