Good morning everyone, Bamanec here!
I wanted to share my experience from yesterday when I tried to upgrade my new CPU. I didn’t want to go all out, but here’s what happened:
I upgraded my i5-6600k from 3.5ghz to 4.2ghz (stock voltage). After running Aida64 for about 1 hour and 22 minutes, the maximum temperature stayed at 54°C. Then I increased it to 4.5ghz (voltage slightly lower at 1.325V, but still shows 1.360). I ran Aida64 and RealBench for 30 minutes each, and my temps were around the mid-60s (63-65).
My main question is: did I get a good opportunity to push more performance? Most results I saw at 4.5 and 4.6 showed cpus running in the mid-70s.
I’m using a cryorig H7 air cooler for this.

It seems like you're suggesting that running Prime would result in a higher temperature.

If I'm correct, Prime is still not optimized and may place significant strain on your system during the rigorous testing process.

I haven't heard of it, but it seems to be a genuine challenge. I don't usually run it since I don't need it; my computers provide sufficient stability for me.
