You're considering overclocking your i7 6700K, but others say it's not worth the effort. Think about what you hope to gain and whether the risks are worth it for your specific setup.

The 6700K is just like the 6700 except it supports overclocking. Get the best value, upgrade that part.

Using a solid board or cooler will help push it to 4.5GHz without issues. The 6700K should handle it smoothly.

It's a complimentary show and you've already covered the K cost, right? Well... I hope I could have a K too so I could join in the fun...
