Alright, today I tried to push my new 6850k under a H100i AIO cooler. The CPU at its default voltage operates between 1.133 and 1.166. I adjusted it to 1.170V and increased the multiplier to 42 for all cores and cache, using a voltage input of either 1.850 or 1.855 (I didn’t remember which one).

After running Cinebench R15 twice, the system stayed stable, so I also ran an AIDA64 stress test for several minutes—around 40 minutes or more—and it performed well too. The maximum core temperature reached was 1 or 2 cores hitting around 57°C. I’m currently testing some games for further evaluation, but everything seems normal.

Here’s a photo from the AIDA64 stress test. It’s unclear why AIDA only shows 4 cores instead of 6.

Is there anyone with advice on this overclock? Additionally, could you share what an optimal voltage for the cache would be? I'm currently using 1.15V with a 32x multiplier.
