Check if the Corsair RM550x RXT 2070 i5 6600k can be overclocked.
Hi All,
Looking to boost overclocking for better frame rates, but unsure about the PSU. I have an i5 6600k, Corsair RM550x PSU, 16GB G.Skill RAM, RTX 2070, and a Corsair H60 water cooler. Anyone's advice on whether a safe overclock of 4-4.2 is feasible? I'm aiming for around 4.5 FPS but worry about the power supply capacity.
200w for the whole PC. 200w for the GPU. This means even under maximum load, you'd only reach around 400w, leaving a small margin. That gives you 150w for overclocking, and with the right cooler, you might squeeze in another 50w. You have plenty of room.
It's a great option for the PSU. It's very reliable!
Budget Cooler should avoid overloading it.
Please share any supporting data or confirmation you receive, and I will review it to determine if it indicates safety for overclocking. Let me know if you'd like me to check for specific metrics or test results.
Review my profile near 24,000 Best Solutions, I understand exactly what you mean.
Additionally, I've assembled more than thirty gaming PCs, excluding those for friends. I understand why you're surprised since you have an AIO cooler budget.
What adjustments should I make for maximum performance? 4.2 is the target.
I own the same Cooler the H60 model. I achieve a consistent 4.6 with maximum temperatures staying below 60°C and Adaptive Vcore never exceeding 1.24. For initial configuration, it's best to install AI Suite Version 1.05.13 and execute the Optimization process. This should likely verify up to 4.9, though it may fail when attempting full core testing. I've experienced instability with version 4.7 on my machine, including random crashes in certain games, so I upgraded to 4.6, which has remained stable for more than a year.
My system specifications:
i5 6600k 4.6Ghz
16gb Corsair Vengance 3000
Corsair H60 (cooling)
EVGA 650 G1
I've observed my CPU reaching only its maximum of 100 watts under AIDA stress. Your power consumption should be within acceptable limits.
