i5 6600k oc questions
Hello!
I've completed my 1st build today:
i5 6600k
Asus Z170 Pro-Gaming
NZXT Kraken x61
G.SKill Ripjaws 2x8gb 2666mhz
NZXT S340
Sapphire HD7950 OC (waiting on the 1070's)
Seasonic s12g 550w 80+ gold
And so I am now working on my 1st overclock ever. I am using RealBench as the stress test.
I ran into the 1st blue screen at 4.5Ghz with 1.2v and so I increased it to 1.225v
After a 15min test I had the following readings on HWMonitor and CPU-Z:
Vcore: 1,232 (sometimes jumping to 1,248 and back)
VID: 1,2 average (1,195 to 1,250)
all cores at 4,5ghz and 100% load with temps ranging from 45 to 52 celsius, and the Kraken running on silent mode with 25% fan speed.
I'm a little confused here... is it normal for the Vcore to go higher than what I set it to? It's on manual mode, not adaptive.
Also from all the 6600k posts I read, most people are getting higher temps and voltages at 4.5Ghz . Is my stress test too soft? I understand that a 15min test is really short, but the temps were really stable through that time span.
Am I missing/misreading something? Or is my chip just great?
It looks like the term "Load in line calibration" isn't clear to me. I'm not familiar with it, especially since I don't have much experience with AI Suite and usually just overclock via BIOS. Those voltages and temperatures might indicate a good chip, though. 😛
During the process, I retrieved the AI SUITE from Asus and noticed the Load Line Calibration slider was at 6 by default. Is this a concern?
