after one and a half year with my i5-7600k running on B250 motherboard i finally got MSI Z270 Sli plus yesterday and my new cooler Arctic Freezer 34 duo and started reassembly my PC again and when i was done the OC began
at first i tried the MSI auto OC which boost to 4.5Ghz at 1.300v which i know is very high for this clock , but i wanted to test it bcs i was scared.
i got stable 4.5Ghz at 1.125v , after testing in prime95/aida / playnig some games which is mostly what i do on the pc i went back to BIOS to try 4.6Ghz and it was stable again with the same 1.125v i test it again and after a while i wanted to go 4.7Ghz but i felt like 1.125v wont run table 4.7Ghz so i up the voltage to 1.140v ( i know is not alot but ay ) but when i was in bios i was like "well i can try 4.8Ghz if runs it runs , right? so i just hit the 48 cpu ratio and start the system it ran stable but snice im greedy i went to BIOS to down the vcore to 1.130 and 4.8Ghz was still stable imo. so after some test n gaming i was sure this cpu can hit 5Ghz so i went to BIOS change the ratio to 50 and set the new cpu vcore to 1.200v and reboot , when windows logo came i got my first blue screen so i bump the voltage a bit again to 1.240v and i load windows i ran my tests i game for 1h temps were around 60-63C and today i was feeling like i can try new vcore so i down the vcore to 1.230v and the system is still very stable im running aida for around 24mins now average temps are around 63-65C with max 67-68 and my 4th core hit 70 , but i guess if with the aida running and im watching a stream on my other monitor and typing here on my main if it doesnt crash is good right?
Also if someone can give me some advice with the more advanced settings so i can maybe lower the temps or something im not very sure?
my PC specs are
mobo - MSI Z270 sli plus
cpu - i5 7600k
ram - 2x8 ddr4 2400mhz (ill upgrade it soon i guess to atleast 3000mhz , because i dont know how to overclock ram and i doubt it can go near close to 3000mhz)
cooler - arctic freezer 34 duo
psu - cooler master 600w 80+ bronze
gpu - aorus 1060 6gb + 750 ti for my other monitor (because my main monitor have Gsync and if i put both monitors into same GPU with gsync enabled is not good for your eyes
here's short test in aida64 for 30min , im still gonna run it for 1-2 hours more

update : lowering the vcore to 1.230v after 1h and 15min in aida pc started to freeze for 1-2 seconds on time to time when i was browsing the youtube so i guess 1.230 was too low so here we go back to 1.240v where is for sure stable 101%
ALSO i would like to ask if the heat for 5Ghz 1.240v is worth it? or i can just go back to 4.8Ghz with 1.130v ?
