Hi guys, so recently i just build a computer (my first PC) with the Specification of
Intel core I5-8600k with 3.6Ghz boost to 4.3Ghz
MSI Z370 Tomahawk Motherboard
Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 1080 G1 Gaming
Corsair 2x8 DDR4 2666Mhz RAM
Dark rock Pro 4 Air CPU cooler
Corsair TX650m 80+ gold certified Power Supply
Samsung 970Evo nVme M.2 SSD
1Tb Seagate HD
and after going 3 months with all stock & doing research about overclocking, i decided to overclock especially my CPU. Firstly i overclock to 4.5Ghz up all the way to 4.8Ghz (which i found to be the sweet spot for my cpu)
my final bios settings :
Core multiplier 48
Fixed multiplier
Cpu Voltcore 1.26
AVX to auto ( 0 )
LLC Mode 4 (which sometimes bumps my vcore to 1.272 when full load)
XMP on
and the other settings are default from the bios
i did my stability testing using
-Intelburner test version 2.54 (stable with very high test) with max temps around 82-85c
-Aida64 (ran for around 30-40 mins) max temps around 68c
-Prime95 version 26.6 (small FFTs for around 30-40mins) max temps around 72c
and i Only use my PC for gaming (not streaming, not rendering video or editing).
my most demanding game is Battlefield V with temps around 58-63c under full load.
I just want to make sure if im doing everything right, will my CPU last for like 5-6 years? because by that time i probably upgraded my rig already to a better one.
Please let me know if theres anything that i do wrong. Any advice would be appriciated, Thanks
