[SOLVED] i7 7700k overclocking

[dilshant756]

hello there...i have few questions about ocing...
my system
i7 7700k @4.4ghz
coolermaster hyper 103
asus z170m-plus with latest bios 3805
gskill trident z 8gbx2 2400mhz xmp @2933mhz 14-17-17-36 1.35v
msi gtx 1070 armor @0.900v 1848core
seasonic s12ii 520
seagate barracuda 2tb
coolermaster jetflow x2

a)today i have increased cpu core ratio to 50 & it oced to 5000mhz easily with 1.4v vcore(automatically).& i ran a game and my cpu temps ran upto 99c ..so i immediately closed it...so which cpu cooler is good for me?
1)corsair h60
2)corsair h100i extreme
b)sometimes im seeing my gpu load is droping to 70%(crysis3 welcome to jungle,nfs payback town area,...)(not stuttering),& can i fix this issue through ocing cpu to 5ghz?

3)will my psu could be enough to powerup my system with 5ghz oc with liquid cooling?

You should also be manually adjusting the voltage when you overclock. If you have voltage set to auto this could be part of the reason why you have high temperatures. Motherboards automatically use higher than necessary voltages so you might be able to dial back the voltage to reduce the temperature. I still think if you were to test temps at stock, you'd still have a thermal issue with that existing cpu cooler.

my 7700K would allow all-core turbo of 4.7 GHz(via MCE, and XTU tweaks) at Asus Z270 default 1.248 V core voltage at 70-74C, but, stability at 4.8 GHz required a .05V bump in voltage that raised temps by 9C to the mid-80s... (NO LIKE!)

No need, I'm content with only effectively '2/3rds' of an 8700K, even 26 months later....

In any event, the 7700K does 'ok' still at 1080P, but, we certainly should not expect it to keep up with the 8700K, much less a 9700K/9900K...

If streaming is added to gaming, the 7700K will be overwhelmed...not enough threads.

The 7700k is an awsome processor.
