So I would like some feedback on the best settings for overclocking my cpu, gpu, and ram. This is for gaming and daily use on a 55" 4k suhd tv at 120hz. My build is as follows. I have a asus maximus viii hero motherboard, with a i5 6600k, corsair veng. Lpx DDR4 (2x8gb) 3000mhz, asus strix gtx 1080 gaming gpu (a8g) model, samsung 256gb 850 Evo pro ssd, corsair 850w psu. Would like some help on the best settings to oc the cpu and gpu to run game like bf1 in 4k at a good fps.

Personally I don't have neither the 6600k or 1080. But as far as I know, the 1080 should be able to gain about 100 Mhz on core and maybe 500-600 Mhz on memory.
The 6600k can most likely get to about 4.5-4.7 and be rockstable. Although, all cpu's are different, so you'll have to do some fiddling yourself. Personally I have the 4690k, and I'm able to get a stable overclock at 4.7Ghz @ 1.335v. I know those aren't the same cpu's but there shouldn't be that big of a difference.
But as said, you'll have to do some fiddling by yourself, since CPU's /GPU's aren't identical, and some can be amazing overclockers, while others barely can get a 100 Mhz overclock.
Anyhow. My suggestion would be something like this...

CPU: 4.5-4.7 @...

Anyhow. My suggestion would be something like this...

CPU: 4.5-4.7 @ 1.25-1.3v (This is for super stable usage. there "shouldn't" be any problems with these settings)
GPU: 70-100 Mhz on Core clock
400-550 Mhz on Memory clock

Good luck finding the perfect overclock!
