Overclock i7 6700k to 4.4 ghz with a 1.25 volt core voltage
Hello everyone,
I've just increased my i7 6700k to 4.4 Ghz. My vcore is at 1.25 volts (adaptive mode) on an Asus z170 pro gaming. I haven't seen any blue screen or error yet. Temperatures look normal. On HWMonitor the max temperature is 53 °C and the min is 22 °C (Wartercooler: Corsair Hydro Series H60). From what I've read, my vcore should be higher for this overclock. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Is this acceptable?

It'll be okay as long as everything runs smoothly
But no... try a game that uses a lot of CPU, like Battlefield 1. Perform some stress tests with prime95. This is one of the few methods to truly check stability. There are others too.
You can also increase the multiplier and boot into Windows. When you put the system under stress, you'll see if it remains stable.

Thanks for your advice. I've been stress testing for over an hour with CPU-Z and seen no errors. I think I'll stick with these settings now.

It should work as expected if everything functions properly.

You can increase the multiplier and boot into Windows to see how the system handles stress. That way you'll get a clearer picture of its reliability.
Cpuz isn't a trustworthy measure for stress testing. However, I'm pleased it's functioning well for you. Best of luck.

Cpuz isn't a solid measure for stress testing. Still, it seems to be helping you. Wishing you success.
Appreciate your guidance.
Also agree with urbancamper. Follow through on what I intended/did say.
