I7 6700k 4.7mhz performance at 1.392°C assistance
Hello everyone,
I7 6900k
Asus maximus viii alpha (updated to 3703)
H440 v2 case with stock fans connected to the motherboard at full speed 100%. Three fans at the front draw air while the rear fan handles exhaust.
H105 Corsair cooler, radiator positioned above it, exhausting properly. The water pump spins at 1800 rpm fully, and each of the two 140mm fans linked to the CPU fan runs at full speed.
16gb * 2 Corsair 2400 RAM, set to profile 1 in BIOS, and I confirmed yes when asked about Intel stock settings.
1080 gigabyte Nvidia Founders Edition.
I adjusted BIOS to XMP and confirmed.
Then I set the frequency to 4.7MHz, switched to manual mode, and set core voltage to 1.35.
External digital+ LLC reached level 6 (or 5).
Running AIDA64 at 4.7MHz, core voltage at 1.392.
After 15 minutes: motherboard temperature reached 27°C max, CPU peaked at 63°C average 58°C, CPU core 1 at 84°C average 66°C, core 2 at 77°C average 59°C, core 3 at 75°C average 58°C, core 4 at 75°C average 58°C.
Room temperature is ambient, between 18-22°C.
These readings seem safe; should I lower the voltage? I’m new to overclocking and apologize if the info is incomplete or outdated.
Thanks.
UPDATE 11.03.2018
Adjusted core voltage back to 1.24 at 4.5MHz, setting external digital+ LLC to level 6 with CPU cores capped at 65%.
Conducted stress test on AIDA64 for 8 hours—no crashes.
Changed voltage again to 1.23 at 4.5MHz, same settings, core voltage 6.
Passed Realbench (latest version) for 15 minutes.
Benchmark score was high enough to pass, but I’m considering lowering it to 1.22 for better stability.
Please advise if this is the right path.
Thank you.
It relies on the randomness of silicon production.
Because each CPU is unique,
Some perform exceptionally well while others fall short relative to top models.
This explains why certain CPUs can be overclocked more effectively than others.
My i5 2500k reaches 4.7GHz at 1.25v, which is relatively modest compared to what's possible.
It depends on the silicon lottery. Because each CPU is unique, some perform exceptionally well while others lag behind. This explains why certain CPUs can overclock more effectively than others. My i5 2500k reaches 4.7GHz at 1.25v, which is relatively low compared to others. What are your thoughts on whether my temperatures are too high?
Saksham_1 explained that since it's a stress test, the readings were accurate and the temperatures were fine. They mentioned the real-world conditions would be slightly different but still acceptable. They appreciated the community feedback and thanked everyone for checking their post.
