6600k 4.6gh temp
Hi there
After reviewing many guides on CPU overclocking, I implemented the following adjustments in my Asus z170a BIOS to hit 4.6gh:
- Core ratio set to 46 (all cores)
- Vcore voltage switched from Auto to Adaptive
- Turbo boost Vcore voltage configured at 1.260
- Offset left as Auto
No RAM changes were made—no XMP profile applied, everything remains automatic
Currently everything appears fine, but I’m concerned about my CPU temperature. When playing "Counter-Strike Global Offensive" in the Real Temp app, the peak CPU temperature reaches 73°C after more than 15 minutes of continuous play.
I wonder if maintaining a temperature around 70°C for extended periods could pose any risks in the future.
My system specifications are:
CPU: Core i5 6600K
RAM: G.skill Trident Z 4*4 (3200MHz)
Cooler: Thermalright TRUE Spirit 120M BW Rev.A
Please let me know your thoughts.
