Hello,
I managed to increase the clock speed of my i5-6600k to 4.4 GHz with a 1.3 Vcore. Is a 1.3 Vcore considered high? Should I consider lowering it?
The temperatures are typically under 60 degrees Celsius.
Thanks

1.3v works well as long as your temperatures are acceptable. It's best to aim for lowering the voltage if the system remains stable at 4.6ghz, rather than randomly selecting a value for stability. Conduct some tests.

Ignoring standard temperatures, focus on activating Hwinfo sensors mode, conducting a game or stress test, and identifying the peak temperature.

What temperatures are we seeing? CPU package and core temps?
We’re running what tests? You’ll notice they always use the same hardware and games when testing GFX cards—exactly the same setup.
Run the RoG CPU Benchmark while monitoring core voltages and temperatures using HWiNFO
