What should a 9700K overclock to?
I currently have my 9700K overclocked to 5GHz @1.300V, but seems to become unstable when pushing it any higher.
Now I have seen multiple posts online stating that they have the 9700K overclocked to 5.3Ghz and that 5.2Ghz should be easily achievable.
So does this mean I have lost the silicon lottery?
I have the ASUS Hero XI motherboard and a Corsair H110 CPU cooler.
Temps are not an issue as overclocked on Prime95 my CPU reaches 78c max, and doesn't go any higher.
Although I am sure there are CPU coolers out there much better than the 5/6 year old H110.
