Do you possess the top-tier overclocking component available? (i5 6600k)
Do you possess the top-tier overclocking component available? (i5 6600k)
Chose to begin overclocking my chip yesterday, and in short achieved a 4.6ghz boost on my 6600k using only 1.3V vcore during stress tests. This is unusual since such high voltages typically increase power consumption (especially with my adaptive voltage that drops to 0.8V at idle). I don’t have a dedicated GPU as my R9 390 is under warranty (new build). Am I making a mistake? Are there any faulty sensors? Others online report 1.35V and say that’s acceptable. Temperatures are stable at 64°C with Prime95 (maximum package temp), using a Hyper 212 Evo and MSI Gaming M5 motherboard, and the overclock has held for two hours with Aida64. Appreciate any advice!

Am I making a mistake? Are there any faulty sensors? I’ve seen others online using 1.35V and saying it’s fine.
Temperatures are at 64°C with Prime95 (maximum package temp), and I’m running on a Hyper 212 Evo with a MSI Gaming M5 motherboard. The overclock was confirmed stable for 2 hours using Aida64.
Thanks for any advice!
you need to extend the test duration to confirm the descent voltage and temperatures thus far

That’s a fortunate CPU, really.
Stress tests are solid, but in my opinion, you should stick to normal usage for a week. If it runs without issues, you’re good.
