Overclocking my i7-7700K to 5.0Ghz at 1.270V (crashes)

What software are you using to stream with?

If I stream I use OBS and use the NVENC encoder set to 1920x1080 60FPS, with a 4500 bit rate and have no issues with performance on the games or stream.

If I was to use the CPU I would probably have issues with the frame rate etc, as OBS will use up to 100% of the CPU leaving nothing for the game.

hello guys,

UpdatE: i managed to OC to 4.8 with 1.270V and stressing using prime95 was successful and lasted for 1 hour now i know thats not enough but after that i streamed for two hours and didn't crash so all of these are good signs and might ran longer tests.

temps reached 100c a few times during stress test but while gaming and streaming for two hours of high quality and 2k graphics in csgo it never reached anything above +85c
