4.56ghz at 1.28v on i5 6600k

05-10-2016, 01:58 AM

Initial overclocking experience achieved stable performance at 4.56ghz (101.5 x 45) with a 1.28v vcore. Only minor BIOS adjustments were needed: clock frequency increased from 100 to 101.5Mhz, voltage set to auto at 1.28, core multiplier raised from 35 to 45, XMP enabled, memory multiplier changed from 32 to 33, system agent boosted by 0.010v, LCL activated in high mode, and used a Corsair GA-Z170XP-SLI motherboard. The system ran on a Corsair H100i v2 cooler, maintaining temperatures between 70-75°C.

That worked well for me at 1.35v and 4.5ghz. I kept the voltage on auto, which lowers it when I'm not gaming. It never went over voltage, and my CPU stayed stable (some users face problems with auto-overvolting).

That worked out well for me at 1.35v and 4.5ghz. However, I left the voltage on auto, which causes it to lower when I'm not gaming. It never exceeded the voltage limit, and my CPU also stayed within safe levels (some users face problems with auto overvolting).

I was just wondering if I might have made a mistake since it was so low in voltage.

LLC on high is assisting, along with a solid chip. I question if you really had to increase the voltage for the system agent.

Seems high to me, especially considering that my 2500K can do 4.4Ghz at 1.25V. That said, the temperature is fine, and that's what really matters.

The majority of users with Skylake typically require about 1.35v at 4.5ghz, indicating a solid processor.

Thanks for the responses, it seems like you might have received a lucky chip.
