[SOLVED] I7 8700K 4.7 all cores overclock help

[kiwi1994]

Hi all, I am very new to OC and would like to OC it to 4.7 for all cores.
Below are my specs:

nzxt kraken x62 aio cooler
intel i7 8700k 3.7ghz
asus rog maximus x hero
gskill trident z rgb 3200mhz 32gb kit
samsung 960evo 500gb nvme m.2
toshiba 2tb 7200rpm
asus gtx1080ti o.c edition
superflower leadexii gold 850w
win 10 64bit

With those specs I certainly think you can even go above 5.0 Ghz all cores (might get a little hot for that x62 though, but certainly can).
You would do it via your BIOS.
Since you are first time, I would suggest watch several Youtube videos with your specific motherboard or a similar one.

More than agree with thtran6...The 8700K should overclock to 4.7GHz with just a simple change to the multiplier to 47 in the BIOS and leave everything else on auto but it will tend to give a bit more vcore...There are some great guides especiallyt for your motherboard on the overclocking setup through the BIOS...
