Hi, I'm just getting started with overclocking and wanted to check if my settings are safe for my system.
I have an i7 6700K, Noctua D15, Z170A Xpower Titanium, and a 750w PSU.
During stress testing, the CPU ran at 4.5ghz with 1.30V, reaching a max temp of 72°C and a min of 25°C.
I tried 1.25V but got a watchdog error. Should I aim for 4.3-4.4ghz at 1.25V or stick with 4.5ghz at 1.30V?
