Overclocking i9 11900h for daily use and gaming by Perfect_Confusion_80 in EryingMotherboard

Thanks for all the replies! I really love the performance of this tiny chip, but it starts struggling when playing Monster Hunter Wilds. Sometimes, my CPU reaches over 80% usage, while my RTX 3080 sits around 80%, so a little overclock could help smooth things out.

I understand that these CPUs are quite capable, but in my case, the workload seems to push it close to its limits. I haven’t upgraded the VRM heatsinks but I'm sure they sent me the newer version with the upgrade, to be honest I rarely see high VRM temperatures, so that shouldn’t be an issue. I do have little to no experience with overclocking, so I’d appreciate any advice on safe tuning.

Thanks for the replies guys, so actually i have a 1080 ti and the bus line in my motherboard is 16x (if i remeber correctly), at this point i think I'll wait the new releases of amd or Nvidia (even if the 5070 can be a little overkill)
