ok so I have been trying to overclock my cpu just like most other people but I seem to be having trouble with the overclock and vcore. I have attempted around 4.8ghz/5ghz with 4.2ghz cache. most people can get that with like 1.3 to 1.33 volts, but when I try that my computer requires at least 1.4v if not like 1.42 which is too high don't know? clearly didn't win the silicon lottery, PCS why did you give me a bad processor ;( .
anyway here are the specs:
case: game max falcon case
MoBo: Asus rog strix z270e
RAM: 8gb 2x4 2666mhz ram with xmp enabled
cpu: i5 7600k
video card: gigabyte gtx 1060 g1 6gb rev 2
cpu cooling: corsair h100i v2 AIO
case fans: stock that comes with max falcon at the front, other two from AIO are on the top of case
power supply: 650w txm series
drives: 850 evo 250gb, 256gb wd nvme ssd, 1tb wd blue 3.5"
also the fans and pump are on performance mode but have tried different settings. no matter what I keep the cache on 4.2ghz I guess but for core I set 4.4ghz its fine at 1.3v if I set 4.6ghz its fine at 1.32v but as soon as I set it to 4.8 to 5ghz the vcore requirements fly up and it requires like 1.4/1.42 vcore voltage. any suggestions to why? did pcs just give me a terrible processor?
another thing to mention when I tried 5ghz at 1.38 volts the pc was able to run and even play rainbow six siege benchmark at ultra settings without crashing the pc quite yet but the fps was bad as in like the 30's when I usually get 120 to 300 when stable.
