i5 6600K - 4.6ghz Stock Voltage Specification
Today I got my i5 6600k and my MSI Z170A gaming M.2. I immediately started attempting to overclock it, reaching up to 4.6ghz with minimal effort. I'm curious about how it performs at stock voltage, but during my last Prime95 test the temperatures were a bit too high for me to accept. Although the readings fluctuate a lot, I'm not sure how reliable they are. My concern is whether the temperatures are acceptable or if I should stop now.
1.17v at 4.6 i'm not sure about that. I'm not claiming you did this, but it seems like a selective reset of hwmonitor when it wasn't actually under full load even though it reports 100%. Still, the system will automatically increase voltage as the multiplier goes up. Otherwise, hwmonitor must be misreading the data because 1.17v wouldn't reach the point where the chip hits 91c unless the cooler isn't functioning properly, nor would the package wattage rise significantly to around 131w. I'd double-check with another program to confirm these readings, and proceed carefully since running at 90c with 131w is approaching a risky area. Keep temperatures at a maximum of 75c regardless of your vcore."
