i5 6600k overclock help
So I have my 6600k for some time and its been clocked at 4.3Ghz @1.225v, this week i tried to overclock it at 4.5ghz and got it stable at 1.31v (after stress and gaming tests). My question is if this is a safe decent overclock for like more +2/3 years?
do you have any suggestions? should i stay at 4.3ghz 4.4ghz?
My max temp is 62ºC

thanks for your time
4.5ghz on the 6600k isn't a major jump, and it should be fine for years if used regularly. You might manage a few hundred more MHz, but temperatures could rise. Depending on the CPU and board, you may reach around 4.8ghz before stability issues appear. For me, keeping voltage under 1.35 and temps below 80°C during load is ideal. I’d push the CPU until it hits those limits or it becomes unstable.
