[SOLVED] i trying to overclock my i7 8700k to 5.0Ghz but when i try it in bios its get locked at 4.7ghz

[lorent]

i went to windows msconfig and enabled all 12 cores and i after could go to bios and get over 4.7ghz and put it in 5.0ghz windows was stable but cpu-z and task manager in performance told me that is only on 4.3GHZ still. i have power plan in highest and still no overclock

update:
i can get a overclock to 5Ghz if i enable all 12 cores but windows does not see the overclock.
in Bios settings i can make min cache ratio to 47 max and max Cache ratio to 47 max nothing really happends in windows it stil only at 4,29Ghz

8700k is 6core/12thread mate

I'm not sure you addressed your BIOS setting properly

you probably right but i went to the msconfig and enabled all 12 threads and then i could get my overclock above 47Ghz if i dont enable them all i cant get over 47Ghz in Bios its like it have a limit or something and when i do that it dosent show the overclock in task manager i only says its on 43Ghz

Nothing about what you're describing sounds correct

You should not be overclocking from your desktop anyways. I would recommend going back to stock settings and doing a proper readup on overclocking. Here's a coffeelake guide to get started.

What exact motherboard?

What exact motherboard?

tuf motherboard h370

I’m not sure what you are seeing in the BIOS but H370 boards are not intended for overclocking but I believe some do allow you to push all cores to max boost speed but not beyond. If you wanted to OC to 5.0 you needed a Z370 or Z390 motherboard.
