Finally located a reliable OC for my system. Just wanted to let anyone know about the i5 6600K. Runs Intel Burn Test on Extreme without ever going over 72°C.
Performance: 4.7Ghz
BIOS set to 1.380V (average drops to 1.355-1.370V under load)
Maximum temperature: 72°C in air with Noctua U12S
Cache size: 4.6
Minor tweaks on memory and GPU, mostly auto settings
Gigabyte Z170MX Gaming 5
EVGA GTX 950 2GB DDR5
EVGA 650 Supernova G2 PSU
8Gigs DDR4 Hyper Fury X
3 case fans (cheap insignia for better exhaust)
Corsair 300R case
OCZ 250 around 250GB
1TB HDD from previous machine
Disk drive from old computer
That’s a win!
RealBenched (V2) at 125,000 ish.
Not too bad considering it’s around $600.

Isn't this rig meant for casual play only?

Are you really not using this setup for high-intensity gaming, huh? Flight Simulator? What's the point?

Just hope you have a stronger GPU that matches your CPU and you can overclock

just wish you had a stronger GPU to match your CPU and overclock
gotcha
Flight Sim X isn't too much on GPU, so it doesn't bother me much
head over heels better than my i7 860
