[SOLVED] Overclocked without changing the voltage now it’s messed up

[ristocaissie1]

I overclocked my cpu to 5ghz without changing the voltage and now it’s messed up, I only get like 20-60 frames on fortnite when before I got 260

List your specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:

Are you on an aftermarket cooler for your CPU? You should also mention what you messed around with as opposed to generically stating what you've done(leaving a lot to guess work/telepathy).

CPU: I7 7700k
Motherboard: Asus Rog IX Formula
Ram: 32gb trident z rgb
SSD/HDD: SSD: 960 Evo 250gb
GPU: GTX 1080 ti
PSU:
Chassis:
OS: windows 10 home

What’s PSU?

All I did was watch a tutorial to overclocked the i7 7700k and did all he did but it messed it up

Just reset your bios to factory defaults.

as christopherjames said, just select "Default settings" in your BIOS and it take you back to original settings

here's a link to a pretty decent "OC by the number" guide, follow it religiously and you won't have any issues

I already reset to default and it’s still screwed up

That's odd. Have you tried a CMOS battery/jumper reset? It's a harder reset than just using the BIOS. Your mobo manual should have instructions on how to do it, or look up youtube videos.

I havnt tried that but yes I have litterly tried everything else

I suggest you give that a shot. Also, you might want to use MSI afterburner and have your FPS, cpu usage, gpu usage, temps all showing while you game. This way you can see what's going on.

Kk and also I litterly can’t play games anymore because of how glitchy and laggy it is because I get like 15 FPS lol

That sucks.

Oh also, do a cpu benchmark like Cinnebench R15 and compare your result to others with the same cpu. At least this way you can confirm your cpu is performing fine or not. Helps narrow down the issue.
