Hey guys,
I am a BRAND new overclocker. I just put together my PC today... i7 8700k 3.7ghz with a CORSAIR HYDRO SERIES H100i v2 AIO Liquid CPU Cooler. I have an ASUS ROG Strix Z370-E. I followed a tutorial on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=os8x9AV4ToI&t=559s) and followed the instructions. The only thing I didn't do was set the cores for 51 like he did. I set it to 42 and assumed that would mean that I'm overclocking at 4.2 ghz. He mentions that he set the voltage override at a certain number based upon his overclock speed. I didn't know what to put for mine because it doesn't correlate. Any idea what I would do?
Also, I ran a cinebench test and got a 1364, no idea what it means. My CPU temp gets to 77-79 during that full load. Should I decrease the overclock based on the temperature i'm reaching?
Thanks very much for all advice
