I have ASrock z370 Extreme4 MB with i5 8600k and I see that there is a option in bios to "load optimized cpu oc setting" I can choose 4.5, 4.6, 4.7 and 4.8 but that one is in red I assume the voltage is more then 1.4... I tried the 4.7.. Everything worked fine even my temps looked good but when I looked at the vcore it was set to fixed 1.34... Isn't that a little bit high for 4.7hgz OC? Would it be safe to use those setting but go down on the voltage? See how low I can go before it becomes unstable?

Yea last time I OCed a CPU was on my X5675 to 4.6ghz few years back and I remember it was much harder to do... This kinda sound too good to be true

Thank you

Yes, you could try that. Once the voltage is too low the PC will either not boot, or become unstable. You could then increase the voltage a little to get a stable setting. It might worth checking though - what other settings are changed when you use the Auto overclock function. It may bemore than just CPU input voltage and vCore.

I am not an expert in overclocking. You just happened to have an identical configuration to mine, and asked the same question I asked on the overclockers.net forum. So, for expert advice you might want to check out their forums. Overclocking is what they do :)

I know that but what if I set it to 4.7 and lower the voltage manually? Would the settings be still okay to use?
