Is the automatic overclocking setting excessively high?
Is the automatic overclocking setting excessively high?
I've just put in an Intel 6700k processor with a Corsair H60 water cooling unit, and my Asus Z170-P motherboard automatically overclocked it. Now I'm noticing in CPU-Z that the core speed is above 4.6ghz. Is this a safe setting? I've heard that the top speed for this CPU is around 4.6. Also, Core temp shows some cores reaching over 80°C at times.
The issue with automatic overclocking is that it often doesn't restrict the voltage supplied to your CPU.
This may lead the chip to change into unsafe conditions, resulting in excessive temperatures during high load.
The most effective method is manual overclocking. Adjust the voltage gradually and steadily.
Although this process is slower, it ensures a stable chip and improved temperatures compared to any automatic program.

The issue with the automatic overclocking is that it rarely restricts the voltage supplied to your CPU.
This may lead the chip to change into unsafe conditions, resulting in excessive temperatures during heavy use.

Thanks for your response—I've just changed it back to default in BIOS and won't rely on automatic overclocking again.
