i5 7600k oc

[Matthias_8]

Hi, I'm having trouble overclocking my 7600k to 5ghz. I've been running tests and it's never stable and I don't know if i should increase the voltage. Currently at 5ghz I have an insanely high voltage of 1.36 volts and it's still not stable. Anyone can help me please and tell me if it's that risky to increase the voltage by a bit.
Thanks

there are many things that affect stability beside voltage.
you might need to play with other things.
anyway, you can't tell the difference between 4.8 or 5GHz overclock performance wise. so it's better to keep the clock a bit lower for for the sane voltages.

Ok thank you what voltage do you recommend for 4.8 ghz?

The least amount of voltage that it will run stable at.

Will vary, so you will have to test.

something like +- 1.15v should work. may be a bit lower or higher.
keep an eye on the temperatures, you shouldn't exceed 80C cores for long periods of time .
