Is 6700k safe to overclock?
Is 6700k safe to overclock?
Hey guys,
I've OC'd my 6700k to 4.7 GHz across all cores with 1.4 volts. Temperatures remain around 65-70°C during stress tests using Aida64, with spikes up to 76°C but the system drops quickly when using the NH-D15. I've been running the test for about 30 minutes now. Is this a safe setting for continuous use? P.S. 20-25°C at idle depending on room temperature.
I plan to conduct some tests with prime95 later and will share updates soon.
From what you mentioned, 1.4 volts seems suitable for continuous use, correct?
P.S. I ran a few tests with prime95 and it reached 85°C maximum, but the PC didn’t crash, so I think the operating temperature is stable. Is this due to high temperatures or just because prime95 is putting a lot of stress on it?
