Overclock 6600k 4.3Ghz
Overclock 6600k 4.3Ghz
Today my overclocking results are still poor but within an acceptable range. I set the i5 6600k Vcore to 1.3 with a multiplier of 43, and tested 44, 45, and 46 without success... Should I consider lowering the Vcore? The temperatures during idle are between 25-30°C, and the peak was around 60°C. Please advise, as I might have damaged the chip.

every chip is unique
but my 6600k runs at 1.324v for 4.7ghz as a rough estimate
I understand, but I haven’t encountered a Skylake k series chip that stays below 4.5Ghz. They don’t appear to fluctuate as much as earlier models.
mostly in line with what you said, 4.3ghz is straightforward, 4.5ghz should be manageable, and pushing past around 4.7ghz usually requires tweaking more than just the vcore.
maybe with more details it’ll be clearer
what would you recommend I do? I can tell my CPU isn’t top-tier
I’d suggest following the advice others have given—provide your full specs, as there are other factors to take into account.

It really isn't necessary to increase the voltage much to reach 4.3Ghz. 1.3v should suffice for 4.5Ghz, possibly up to 4.6Ghz. My 6700K works at 1.35v for 4.6Ghz and the i7s generally need a bit more than similar i5s. Temperatures are acceptable.

I understand this, but I haven’t encountered a Skylake k series chip that doesn’t reach 4.5Ghz. They appear to be more consistent compared to earlier generations.
every chip has its own characteristics

i understand this, but I haven't encountered a Skylake k series chip that maintains performance above 4.5gHz. They appear to be more consistent compared to earlier generations.
mostly in line with what you said, 4.3ghz is straightforward, 4.5ghz should be manageable, and pushing past 4.7ghz usually requires additional adjustments beyond just the vcore.
with more details it might become clearer

i understand your point, but I haven’t encountered a Skylake k series chip that stays below 4.5Ghz yet. They don’t appear to change as much as earlier models.
mostly in line with what you said, 4.3ghz is straightforward, and reaching 4.5ghz should be manageable—just might require some adjustments beyond just the vcore.
if you share more details, it could help clarify the next steps.
what advice would you consider? I think my CPU isn’t performing well.
