Okay so, i keep reading that everyone seems to be having trouble with the I5-8600k and overclocking without raising the voltage by that much. Ive been running at 4.7 ghz for about a month now after benching it for hours and im 100 percent perfectly stable, and my temps NEVER get above 55c at around 90 percent load. H100i v2 is my cooler. I mean, did i just hit the CPU lotto? Or are the forums im reading BS?

In all honesty, i really want an I7-8700k lol. I went with the cooler CPU temp wise because my case only supports a radiator blowing inwards. Cant have all that hot air blowing on my 1080ti and z370F ;). Negatives of having a micro build. Cant find a case with great airflow and that looks flashy

No, its not exactly 1.000. Its like, .006 above that or something. I dont remember the exact number, but its just barely over.

Well, in games such as The Witcher, i do get 100 percent CPU usage and some pretty bad stuttering. I just feel that having the most badass GPU would like to be accompanied by the most badass processor.

I am using Intel XTU. The max voltage was 1.100, but it was only there for a few seconds durring a 15 minute bench.

Also, would you happen to have any knowledge about how much of a difference i would see in the temp of the air that would be blowing out of my radiator if i were to get an I7-8700k? I ask because i can only have my radiator blowing inwards, and i dont want to blow that hot air onto all my components. Thats literally the only reason i didn't get an I7-8700k in the first place.
