If you're wanting a quick guide to overclocking an 8700k or 8086k processor on an ASUS Maximus X Motherboard, this is the video for you.

In this video I go through the settings I'm running for my 5.2GHz overclock, as well as my recommended settings for initial setup of your processor. The video also explains what all the various settings mean at a overview level, as well as some discussion around safe VCORE settings and how CPUs become damaged.

I will be creating a more detailed overclocking series in the coming weeks and months where I will go into the fundamentals of overclocking and what all the settings mean in more detail to help you fine tune your system for the maximum overclock.
