Just did my first overclock on my i5-7600k, its running a evo 212 and its not a great mobo (msi z270-a pro) i have never bothered to oc it but the 4.2ghz seemed to be bottle necking my cards in some games (100 percent cpu usage 60 percent gpu and stuttering)
Anyways i did some minor research, i went in my bios turned intel speed step off, changed my cpu ratio around a bunch and my v core voltage each time i would run prim95 blend test most of the time one of the cores would fail and drop the cpu usage down 25 percent or so.
i finally got it to pass 15 tests at 4.8ghz 1.31 volts. Now the question is during the test the actual clock speed would go all over the place rarely hitting the actual oc speed, temps would hit 84-85C but it passed all the test. Now when i play say PUBG i def notice a improvement overall in performance, and NZXT Cam has the cpu running at a steady 4.8ghz with load temps around 71C.
So would this be successful? Does everything seem correct?
