Hey everyone,

I recently built a new PC and was wondering if anyone could give me some advice for OCing (CPU and GPU) so that it's optimized for Battlefield 1. I'm new to overclocking and though I think it's a solid PC stock I would like to get the most out of the parts.

Here are the PC specs:

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cr3q7h

CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor

CPU Cooler: Corsair H75 54.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170N-Gaming 5 Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard

Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory

Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Video Card

Case: Thermaltake Core V1 Snow Edition Mini ITX Tower Case

Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA G2 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit

Monitor: Dell S2417DG 23.8" 2560x1440 165Hz Monitor


Everything fits and operates fine.

I'm running 2560 x 1440 @ 165hz (G-SYNC enabled) and using the OC setting on the MSI GPU.

Thanks!

Your cpu can be easily OCed by the automatic overclock feature of your motherboard. I say go for a max of 4.2 GHz. Your cpu cooler could support a higher OC but your motherboard only has a 5-phase MOSFET system. Make sure you enable or have enabled intel speedstep. For the 1070, go for something in the neighbourhood of 150-200 MHz. That's a safe and well rounded overclock. If you want to go higher I suggest you get some benchmarking and monitoring software.
