Hello, this is my first post here. Hopefully I can find some help
I have an i7-8700k that I am trying to overclock. It's struggling to do 4.7ghz even when I bring it all the way up to 1.43v. Most people I talk to can get much higher frequencies with less voltage. I'm very new to overclocking so I'm afraid I may be doing something wrong.
Relevant Specs:

I checked https://siliconlottery.com/pages/statistics and they say the top 99% of CPUs should be able to hit 4.9 at less voltage than mine... makes me think there's definitely a problem

Relevant Specs:
- i7-8700k, Vega 64, 16gb DDR4 3200 ram
- Asrock Z370 Taichi motherboard
- Cooler Master ML240 cooler and Fractal Design Meshify C Case < [Should be adequate cooling right? I've got lots of case fans as well]
