i5 6500 OC with noctua dh15?
im running i5 6500 with 212 evo cooler, im currently at OC'd [email protected] voltage
i have 4 noctua f12 case fans with excellent airflow in my case. i can reach 4.6 stable but i decide to wait until i buy noctua dh15
i was wondering if i could reach 4.8 or 4.9ghz with noctua dh15? was planning on upgrading from 212 evo cooler. anyone here able to reach 4.9 with noctua dh15?
Why are you attempting to boost a non-K CPU? You’re aware that doing so could void the warranty if it causes harm. What makes you think overclocking is necessary? Also, you’re going into risky territory. The Noctua will definitely keep things under control, as it’s one of the top coolers available. What are your temperatures?
yes, there is no warranty. i've been using a 4.5ghz stable for weeks under proper stress testing, maintaining around 60+ on load. i believe the noctua dh15 can further reduce temperatures even more with higher overclocking. when i first began overclocking my i5-6500, i only had two default case fans; after getting the noctua f12 fans, i achieved even higher speeds, reaching up to 4.6ghz with significantly better temps. that's why i'm really interested in purchasing noctua's dh15 coolers.
i mean, it's not that bad to be running at 75-83c under load, but beyond that i get the idea. i'd like my cpu to reach its maximum, perhaps around 4.9ghz at 1.43 with declid, or without it it can hit 4.8ghz. i've already upgraded my i3 6100 and temperatures dropped by 10-12c (212 evo).
It seems you're questioning the value of spending a lot on a locked CPU, especially since it struggles with higher RAM speeds. At the end of its life, a properly lower clocked i5-6600k will still perform better.
