[SOLVED] Is my cpu overclocked

[demian711]

Good morning.
I have a Coffe Lake 15 8600k @3.6 CPU.

this are mi specifitacions:

GPU: Nvidia GTX 1070 OC 8GB Asus
CPU: I5-8600k @3.60GHz
Ram: 8 GB 2666 Mhz
MB: gigabyte z370 HD3
OS: Win 10 x64

Bought it more than a year ago, but just now I am thinking about overclocking it.

Thing is, that looking at my BIOS and CPU-Z, seems to be already overclocked at 4.2. Is this true?

In case it is (or not), looking at the Core Voltage (moves between 0.6 and 1.1), I should go higher right? Maybe tu 4.6

Thanks!

Your CPU cannot overclock on itself. Your CPU supports turbo-boost up to 4.30ghz, which by the way is automatical increasing in frequency/power when it needs it.What are you looking at 4101mhz on the photo is the turbo boosted frequency,not overclocked. Look for turbo boost on the official page for your processor: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/u...-8600k-processor-9m-cache-up-to-4-30-ghz.html. And also, only overclock if you really need it.
