Hi guys,

I would like to seek your expertise on overclock settings with i5-7600k cpu and Asrock z270 extreme 4 mobo. I've tried searching but the most I've seen is for i7 7700k. What could be the best and stable setting that I could achieve? This would actually be my first PC build and first time to overclock just to maximize K series

In case you might be interested/need on the components , I'll post it here as well

CPU: Intel I5 7600k
MOBO: ASRock Z270 Extreme 4
CPU Cooler: Cryorig R1 Universal
GPU: Galax GTX 1070
PSU: EVGA 650B3
RAM: 16GB(8x2) 3000MHz

Stability depends on the overclocking potential of the processor. I overclock my i5 7600k to 4.6GHz just by increasing the multiplier, you could go all the way up to 4.9GHz+ with some Vcore. Just limit max Vcore of 1.4v and temperature of 90c.
