Can't push performance beyond 4.6 on the Asus Hero VIII using an Intel i7 6700K processor.
Can't push performance beyond 4.6 on the Asus Hero VIII using an Intel i7 6700K processor.
I started with the overclocking guide on YouTube using the Asian chick video that matches the question. My clock only reached 4.01, and I'm aiming for 4.5 or 4.6.

Kindly suggest other configurations and software options. Thank you ahead.
Adjust the voltage to 1.35 and enable overclock at 4.6ghz. Also, download the newest drivers. What are your temperatures? The CPU performs poorly at 100 degrees when you set the voltage to 1.35 from the default setting; the lag should stop. If you're unsure about overvolting, try adjusting the CPU voltage manually. Set it to the default and then change it to 1.35, press enter, and restart your PC. If the issue persists, increase the voltage further until it no longer causes problems—don't exceed 1.45 volts. Please clarify any questions for more details.
Review the instructions the other person shared, also achieving a chip to reach such high speeds is similar to winning the lottery occasionally you end up with a top overclocker sometimes not. The 6700k boost frequency stands at 4.2ghz.

Check the guide the other person shared, getting a chip to hit that high is kind of like winning the lottery sometimes you end up with a great overclocker but other times not. Plus the 6700k boost frequency is 4.2ghz. OK, I added my own tweak and it's now at 4600 ghz on aida64, right? That’s what I’m aiming for—play games longer without freezing or the FPS dropping after a while if I’m lucky.

You can also download CPU to check if your overclock is stable; if not, you should download the drivers. If it works, test games to see performance. But if you can't play for two hours to test stability, then download cinebench r15, open it, and check the real temps to find out your current temperatures.
