I5 6600k OC outcomes after urs :)
Pc Specs: ( I think i got a golden one
😀
could go up to 5 Ghz maybe)

Ok, the newest (Steady so far) OC:
HWMONITOR for monitoring and AIDA64 for a stresstest 9 hours stresstest I achieved the following results:
IDLE: 26C
BIOS Settings
1. VCore at 1.360
2. Clock to 4.7 Ghz
3. BCLK to 103.00
4. XMP
Results are as follows...
MAX Temps:
Core Max: 66C (after about a hour the temps didnt go up anymore)
GHZ Score: 4.845 Ghz
MAX VCore: 1.316V
MAX RAM: 2757 mhz
Pictures will follow Pc is not running right now dont have a cooler

Dawid_45678 shares concerns about achieving high frequencies. He questions the feasibility of reaching 5ghz, suggesting a maximum of around 4.9ghz at most. He expresses doubt about maintaining 4.9ghz with 1.375 volts and mentions the heat generated would be significant. He also notes that using a cooler might limit performance due to voltage constraints before temperature issues arise. He shares his experience with a 4790K running smoothly at 4.6ghz with stable temperatures, emphasizing the importance of balancing speed and thermal management.
I really think you won't reach 5ghz. Probably only around 4.9 at most. You're already applying too much voltage for 4.9 when aiming for 4.9, in my view. (unless your chip can handle 4.9ghz below 1.375) So 4.845 Ghz at 1.316 volts seems excessive? With a heat output of 66 c? And honestly I didn't mean to exceed 1.36/7 just to extend lifespan. 😀
Never be able to tell the distinction between 4.5Ghz and 4.7Ghz while actually using the PC. However, you will definitely perceive the variation if your CPU is damaged by raising the voltage too much. Recommend that if you value the longevity of your PC, you should choose a more cautious approach regarding speed and voltage, and avoid investing in a larger cooler.

I really question reaching 5ghz. Probably only around 4.9 at most. Your current push is way beyond what's practical for 4.9 at 1.375 unless you have a chip that can handle it. (66 c? and I didn't mean to exceed 1.36/7 just to extend lifespan) 😀
Even 1.30 is too much for regular use based on what I've heard. The ideal max should be about 1.275 for continuous operation.
If you're willing to temporarily boost the voltage to 1.3 or higher to test performance, that's fine.
My Vs are just under load in a stress test like aida64 on 1.316 (66c)
Idle doing Desktop Things its on about 1.25/6V (25-28c)
When playing my main game (cs go) it goes up to 1.288 and not higher. (under 50c)
So i dont pass the 1.3 mark anyways im not doing Rendering or some type of that Things
But yeah im gonna try to get to 5ghz gonna post latley a Picture if ist gonna happen waiting on my new cooler

Idk, I've read a number of places that Skylake is more resilient to higher voltages (I believe something to do with a new gate dielectric material, or how they fab it). People seem to be going as high as 1.35 V for regular use. Of course, whether or not that is truly safe is hard to say.
Normal operating voltages are listed between 1.25v and 1.35v, though 1.45 is considered too high for Skylake. Most seasoned experts recommend not going above 1.40V, as this could lead to unknown risks and possible damage. I suggest keeping the voltage under 1.35V to ensure your chip performs just as well at standard settings.
