Question Overclocked my 8700k to 5.0 Ghz

[Swasis]

I've overclocked my i7-8700k to 5.0Ghz with my newly purchased kraken x52 on the MSI z370 Gaming Pro Carbon motherboard. I have no planning on delidding my CPU. I'm also running 16GB of G. Skill TridentZ RAM running at 3466. Anything I should know?

just keep an eye on your temps at load. if you are in the 80c area or above for sustained times, you may want to back it off a bit

whats your voltage set to? and is it stable in synthetic tests?

Test its stable under high load, keep an eye on temps.

I ran CINEBENCH r15 and it got to 85c at 100% load. But at idle or light gaming I usually range from about 45-55c. I set my voltage to 1.32V
