Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello, The chipset in my comp is core i7-8700 and yes you can overclock the system with no problem. You will however need a 3rd party app or through the BIOS to be able to do this because supposedly (I dont overclock so have not tried this) AW (DELL) has removed the OC button that use to be available. What people are saying is that the OC button was removed when upgrading to windows 10 and was able to get it back when downgrading back to windows 8...here is that link, scroll down a bit... https://www.dell.com/community/Alienware-Desktops/New-R7-with-8700K-can-no-longer-be-overclocked/td-p/5863275 Have a great day!

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It's the 8700, so no overclocking. The difference in speed isn't noticeable.
