Take a moment to explore your BIOS and become familiar with the different categories of settings. So restart your computer and enter your BIOS-usually this involves pressing "Delete" or "F2" as the computer boots. I recommend a large dual-tower heatsink-like the Cryorig R1 Ultimate CR-R1A (Opens in a new window)-or even a liquid cooling loop for best results.īefore overclocking, it's a good idea to get a benchmark of where your computer stands without extra frequency. If you're using the Intel cooler that came with your processor, you probably shouldn't overclock-at the very least, you'll want a bigger, third-party tower heatsink.
(For our trials here, we used the i7-8086K in a pre-built PC from Velocity Micro that we recently reviewed, the Raptor Z55.) There are ways to overclock some non-K CPUs, but Intel's K CPUs are designed with overclocking in mind, so we'll be sticking with those.
