Hello everyone! I currently have a i5 7600K and have some questions about it:

*What is the max overclock capacity of the I5 7600K? I got it at stock speed with a 212X from Cooler Master, but I want to buy a H100iV2 from Corsair to cool it and be able to OC it.

*Will this i5 (Properly Overclocked) be enough for a 1080Ti to avoid botteneck?

*Will this i5 be enough for streaming on YouTube/Twitch?

Thanks you so much everyone for the answers.

The i5 7600K should overclock reasonably well on the H100i V2, probably around 4.7 to 4.8Ghz, but this is not guaranteed, you may get higher or lower results due to silicon lottery. With most games, the 1080 Ti should be fine with the i5, especially at higher resolutions. However, I would not count on streaming to Twitch or YouTube with only a 4 thread processor.

Thank you so much for the reply. I was thinking on OC it to 4.5 anyways. What about 1080p@144hz? I know is a little bit overkill, but i want also future proof (and the possibility to upgrade to a better screen on future maybe).
Finally I want to ask for an option to stream... 7700K should be fine? Or i´ll need more threads? Thank you again :)

Many games still only use 4 threads anyway, so realistically, the 1080 Ti should not be bottlenecked by the CPU. Depending on the stream quality, you can stream on the 7700K, but streaming does tend to favor more cores and threads and at the price, I would not see it as a worthy upgrade over the i5. That said, you may be able to pull off i5 streaming if you lower the stream quality and/or play around with the settings a bit.
