Overvolting my Kaby Lake?

[tobehedgehog]

Hey guys, I need some help with overclocking my i7 7700k. I'm pretty new with overclocking, I just did it for the first time yesterday, and I was able to overclock to 5200ghz. I wanted to try and push this number even further, but I know that messing with the voltage can be very dangerous. I was wondering if anyone had any tips or instructions for changing the voltage?

My Specs:
Cpu: i7 7700k
Cpu cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
Motherboard: Asus Prime Z270-A
Ram: 8GB DDR4 Ballistix Sport Gaming Memory
Gpu: Gigabyte GeforcE GTX 1060
Power: Rosewill 650

Also I was wondering the highest you would recomend pushing my cpu with my specs.

You didn't mention your temp readings, or your voltage. It is best not to go above 1.4 volts with that cpu, as it is considered to be the max voltage you should use. Also your going to want to stress test it with prime95v2.26(small fft). The max temp before it throttles is 100c. However for practical every day use you really do not want to take it above 70c. Anything above 75 is considered too hot, and will degrade your cpu. Especially if you run it all the time above 80c.

On top of that the i7 7700k runs very hot. The Hyper 212 evo is weak. you need a beefy cooler like this. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835709011

Even that is not enough for the voltage you have to use for 5.2ghz. It is highly unlikely that it was or will stay stable at that speed without having a custom loop, that can cost several hundred dollars to assemble, to keep it cool at the voltage you will need.
