Is it possible for a 6700k to reach over 4.5ghz?
Is it possible for a 6700k to reach over 4.5ghz?
so today i managed to get my brand new 6700k
i'm using gigabyte z170x gaming 3 bios f5b (f4 gave me same results)
kingston fury 2400mhz 16g 2x8
gtx 970 g1
ss 650+80 gold x-series
samsung 850pro ssd
i'm not sure if i'm that unlucky but
to achieve stable 4.4ghz i need voltage of 1.265
to get stable 4.5ghz i need 1.31!!! and it's not that stable either
after 4 hours of aida64 i got "failure" just red light without crash
the temps in 4.5ghz after 3 hours of load are 67c max
all my friends got 4.4ghz on 1.2v and 4.5ghz on 1.25v
one of my friends is running 4.8ghz at 3.5v and the second one is running 4.8ghz on 1.365v
both have been stable for a few days already
and me? i can't even reach 4.6ghz on 1.35v my pc crashes during booting or a few seconds after
i don't know what to do... i want to go back to the store but i'm not sure if it's a motherboard issue or a cpu issue ]
It seems you might have missed out on the silicon chance, with nothing you can do about it—everything guaranteed is that the multi will be unlocked and it will operate at the advertised speeds. Any other details are safe, and I want to make sure you didn’t actually attempt 3.5v vcore.
yes i tried 1.35v for 4.6ghz
just wanted to see how far i can push this pissOF****
i can't just give it back to the store?? should i tell them the cpu isn't working properly or something?
and it's a cpu issue for 100%? can't be something with the motherboard?
It could be either, but it functions as intended. They don't need to return it.
What cooler are you employing? Additionally, it's not advisable to run at 3.5v on the CPU, as this would cause immediate failure, and using liquid nitrogen will only bring you down to roughly 1.8V.
Always attempt a low multi high bclk oc and check if it improves performance. Make sure to adjust the memory settings to avoid issues.
What motherboards do your friends have?
What temperatures are you experiencing?
Even during stress tests, not games or software would ever reach such high demands as Aida reminds us.
4.6 isn't bad; many people need to use 1.4v to achieve 4.8ghz:

What cooling solution are you using?
Some have the ASUS Z170-A, another has the same as me.
Temperatures are around 4.4GHz with a max load of 1.26V and 59°C,
at 4.5GHz it's about 1.31V and 69°C max.
Is there a way to check if the issue is with the CPU or motherboard?
I didn’t reach 4.6GHz and I wish I had...
My PC crashes during startup, and at 4.5GHz it’s not very stable either.
