Is this too great to believe? (i5-6600k overclocking)
I overclocked my i5-6600k to 4.6 Ghz and adjusted the voltages using the setting just before it changed color. These temperatures are really impressive, or is it just my perception?
The temperatures aren't matching expectations. Consider using prime 95. If it runs without crashing, check the readings again. Alternatively, try a CPU-intensive game to observe the temperatures. Remember, idle temps don't indicate real performance issues.

That's right, you just surpassed Andre Yang's world record.
What? I think it's a bit of sarcasm, hehe.

Those temperatures aren't at load. Try using prime 95. If it doesn't crash, check the temps then. Or play a CPU-heavy game to see what happens. Temps while idle are meaningless—only stress levels matter.

What are you using to maintain the temperature?
You're not demonstrating anything there. You can't push that CPU to its maximum with the overclock fully strained at those temperatures. It isn't even displaying your actual clock speeds. I use the same processor, and I understand its capabilities. I also know the temperatures it reaches, and at 4.6ghz it would be around 70°C under full load. Plus, if you stress test it with a proper tool like Prime95, the temperatures would rise above 70°C.
So go elsewhere or present the real data. Unless you're not familiar with how to do that.
There seems to be an issue with the hardware monitor. Consider installing CPU-Z to check its readings. For temperature testing, use software like prime95 for at least 30 minutes. A short test won’t give useful results. Did you read my previous message? You’re repeating what I already said. cpuz only shows current speed and core voltage, not the details you need—like test duration, heat under load, or speed during load. You’re correct that the HWMonitor image is inaccurate. My guess is this person is just a troll. I use the same CPU and know its limits.
