How to enhance performance of integrated graphics on an Intel HD 530?
I recently purchased an i5-6600k with a MSI z170a gaming M5 motherboard. I'm looking for advice on how to boost the integrated graphics performance of my CPU. I've adjusted the GT ratio in the BIOS and used Intel Extreme Utility Tool, but I still face crashes during benchmark runs when pushing the overclock limits. I understand I need to adjust the voltage settings, but I'm unsure about the right values. In the BIOS, the default graphics voltage is set to DEFAULT, but I don't know the exact setting for my CPU's graphics. My CPU is currently stable at 3.5ghz, and I'm trying to figure out how to safely increase it without causing instability.
Initially...
-You created a new build for gaming but didn’t buy a video card? What!?
-Second... Is your I5 6600K properly cooled with water cooling? If you don’t have a water cooling system and your case provides good airflow, it won’t work.
-Third, integrated graphics can’t be overclocked in any way. They’re not designed for that... I’d recommend maximizing your RAM as much as possible and aiming for speeds around 2100–2400 MHz (depending on your motherboard) would help, though it’s still ineffective.
and finally: This is just a suggestion... Consider buying a video card. Integrated graphics simply can’t reach the level of...

and finally: this is just a suggestion... Consider investing in a video card. Integrated graphics simply can’t reach even the lowest-end modern cards. Graphics cards are built for specific purposes, and their role is quite clear—making it essential to prioritize your GPU when setting up your PC.
Wait, what?! Do you really think an integrated graphics could match the performance of today's worst video cards? Can you imagine a better example? I need to know if someone could outperform an Intel HD 530 or even an Intel HD 630. Also, regarding "water cooling," you can easily overclock your Intel HD 530 to 1300-1400 MHz using the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility.
