Hello everyone,

Recently I'm a owner of the following PC specs:

Intel Core i7-8700K
Corsair H115i Hydro Series
DDR4 Corsair Vengeance RGB, Noir, 2 x 8 Go, 3466 MHz, CAS 16
Asus GeForce GTX 1080 Ti ROG STRIX, 11 Go
Samsung Série 960 EVO, 250 Go, M.2 and Samsung Série 860 EVO, 500 Go, SATA III
Seagate BarraCuda, 2 To
Case: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX, Satin Black
+ 5 fan Corsair LL 140 RGB

I would like my i7-8700k to be overclocked to 4.7ghz
Thank you so much for your help.

Hello FassTech

Welcome to the ROG forum.

At default settings the i7-8700k boosts to 4.7GHz, at default settings it's likely getting overvolted and could run with lower voltage. Try the CPU Core/Cache voltage at 1.15v - 1.20v.

You may be able to hit 5.0GHz with the H115i cpu cooler.

What hardware monitoring program are you using?

I use: GPU Tweak II and Corsair Utility Engine (3.2.87)

GPU Tweak II is for overclocking your gpu, I'm not familiar with the Corsair Utility Engine so I'm not sure what all it monitors.

I use HWinfo and it monitors pretty much everything in your pc.

HWinfo download, click the green Download Installer then click FossHub - https://www.hwinfo.com/download.php

I'm using the i7-7700k and have the Core clock, Core Voltage (Vcore) and temps circled in red, click the pic to make it bigger.

How can you have the same layout as you have in HWiNFO sensor status
