i7-7700k overclock to 5GHz

[chiho]

I've never overclocked anything myself in the past as I've always been afraid of messing things up (just asked people I knew at the time who were knowledgeable on this sort of stuff). Was wondering if anyone could help me with overclocking my i7-7700k Kaby Lake to 5GHz from the current 4.2GHz. I have a Z270F Gaming motherboard, 16gb of 3200MHz RAM and a 1080 Ti Turbo

You need to have a very good fan and heatsink or liquid cooling to get to 5ghz. 7700k runs hot.

A bunch of YouTube tutorials.

As said, trying to hit 5.0GHz is hit or miss. Either you have a good chip or you don't. And if you do, you'll need at least a 240mm AIO to do so.
