6600K How far I can go ?
6600K How far I can go ?
Hey everyone,
I have a 6600k with a Corsair H105 water cooler, removing the fans and swapping it with a NOCTUA Industrial 3000 RPM unit.
Right now I'm running a 4.6 Ghz stress test; everything is stable after 30 minutes. My max temperature is around 72°C, with an average of 59-61°C.
I'm currently at 1.258-1.270 V.
Do you think I should stop testing or try 4.7? Or is 72°C too high?
Thanks for your help – this is my first overclocking attempt!
4.6 ghz at 1.27v is pretty good. If you're looking at a 24/7 overclock, I probably wouldn't push it anymore since you're at 72C. Besides, there isn't much left to be gained with another couple hundred mhz. If you just wanted to see what your chip could do, you could push your vcore up to 1.4, but you will really have to watch the temps.

Whats the max safe temp 80C? Thanks for your answer btw
Meanwhile I went to shop for 2 hours and when I came home the PC was off ( maybe the windows turned off to saver mode or something ) and when I moved the mouse started to continue Prime 95 Looks like did not crashed meanwhile .
Im did adaptive +100 Offset before now I try Adaptive +75
Im not sure exactly whats the difference and why I can not give in a fix voltage number I just watched the TEAM EVGA how to oc on EVGA board and I just did what they sad .
Adaptive + 100 Offset sounds right ?
