I5 6600K overclocking performance and durability
Hi everyone,
I just got my new i5 6600k with h115i corsair aio. I’m planning to keep this chip for at least five years, so that’s something to consider. I’m open to overclocking, as I previously had an fx6350 running at 5GHZ before. My goal is to maintain the maximum stock voltages or a very safe buffer, regardless of the frequency it supports. AIDA 64 showed a max vcore of 1.188 at 3.5GHz stock speeds. Any suggestions?

I’m not afraid of overclocking; I had an FX6350 at 5GHz before.
I’m aiming to stick to the maximum stock voltages or a very safe buffer, accepting whatever frequency it supports.
Running AIDA 64 for an hour shows a peak of 1.188V at 3.5GHz stock speeds.
Any suggestions?
It seems these chips can last five years under normal conditions—PC longevity depends more on usage cycles than time alone. You can safely overclock to 4.4-4.5GHz for added protection.

When overclocking, remember to protect your CPU by maintaining temperatures below 70 degrees. Aim for 60-65 degrees for optimal performance.
