He has a TX3 instead of a 212, which makes a big difference. The 1.35 is quite high. Starting backwards, I set the target speed first and then adjusted the voltage. I used my 4790K at 4.6 1.25 volts and got 4.6 1.22 V. I think 212 can lower temperatures by about 5C more than the TX3 (8C during Prime95). But 1.35 is safe for a 6600k. Only stress testing will tell if this voltage will cause higher temps than the TX3. The TX3 should handle 1.35 Vcore unless it's running with overclocked memory and XMP enabled. He could begin at 1.3V and increase the multiplier until instability appears. If he reaches 4.5 and sees a blue screen but temps stay below 80C, he’ll likely raise the voltage back to 1.31 to try stabilizing. It’s another approach to reach the same conclusion. As long as temperatures stay under 1.35V, that’s the starting point I’d suggest.
