Issue with 6600K overclocking voltage
I've increased my 6600K overclock to 4GHz with a vcore of 1.350, but during the stress test it reached 79°C/174°F. Many users have reported similar results at 4.6-4.7 GHz with the same voltage. At this temperature, should I be concerned? My Corsair H90 cooler is top-notch for this workload. Is this level safe to keep? I'm using Prime95 for the test.
If the system is set to 4.0, why such high voltage? Examine how much you can reduce it. Each CPU is unique and requires varying voltage levels for optimal performance at a specific OC. Test lowering it to 1.25 and observe stability and temperature changes. Higher voltages raise temperatures.

If OCed to 4.0 why such high voltage? Check how much lower you can reduce it. Each CPU is unique and needs different voltage levels for stable operation. Test lowering it to 1.25 and observe stability and temperatures. Higher voltages raise temperatures. I tried that before, it worked, but at 1.250 it reaches 70°C. I can't exceed 4.0 GHz because it will eventually cause damage. Some users must have exceptional cooling solutions.
