I5 6600k OC advise
I5 6600k OC advise
I attempt to increase my 6600k from 4.6ghz to 4.8ghz at 1.350v under a stress test using AIDA64, aiming for under one hour without throttling. My heat sink is a Cryo H7 push-pull design.
My questions are:
1. Is this an effective overclocking target?
2. Should I try to hit 4.9ghz or maybe even 5ghz if I'm lucky?
Aida64 performs mild stress tests using OCCT, Prime95, Realbench, etc. Begin with the CPU, then evaluate RAM separately. If you require 1.35V for 4.8Ghz, expect to hit around 4.9Ghz. Cryorig H7 may struggle to maintain temperature, so a larger CPU cooler would be necessary.
