    Does anyone know of a guide, or is someone willing to write one on how to get the best performance out of a 8700k in a Sager body?

    Overclocking, undervolting, delidding, prema bios, etc?

    All of the above. :vbwink:

    Overclocking will focus on helping with performance. Undervolting and delidding aid in temperature, but consequently will avoid throttling and, thus, help with performance. The PREMA BIOS gives you more control.

    Is there any difference between overclocking an 8700k in a normal desktop machine and when it's in a clevo body?

    Not for the basics, just the cooling is more limited.

    Mostly general information. Dialing things in exactly tends to be specific to each individual's needs/wants and the machine. There's some good stuff here, thanks to
