i5 6600k up to 4.0Ghz with a 520W power supply unit
Hi, I'm looking to boost the overclock of my i5 6600k to 4.0Ghz without changing the voltage settings. Is this stable at the standard voltage? Also, is it safe to use a seasonic M12ii 520W PSU or should I consider purchasing a new one? Here are my current specs: CPU, Intel I5-6600k; cooler, DeepCool Gammaxx 400; GPU, Palit Gtx 1060 6GB Jetstream; RAM, G.Skill Ripjaws V 2X8GB at 3200Mhz; storage, Asus Z170 Pro Gaming; SSD, Sandisk Ultra 120GB; HDD, WDC 1TB Black 7200RPM.
Each CPU is unique. Determining if you can achieve 4GHz at stock voltage isn't certain; you'll need to test and see based on the specific CPU's quality. Give it a try, boot into Windows, and run a stress test. Overclocking comes with no assurances—it's like a lottery. Your power supply should handle moderate overclocks (such as 4 GHz) without issues.
