Overclocking i5 6600k
I aim to boost my CPU speed to 4.0 GHz and need guidance on the process.
Adjust the CPU multiplier to 40 and test it out. The result will vary based on your specific 6600K, but it should work smoothly at stock voltage around 4.0.
Tradesman if he sets the multiplier to 40 and that's it, that wouldn't be stock voltage that would be auto voltage which could supply way more voltage than needed.
I'd start with 1.2v and run a stress test; if it passes, keep reducing the voltage until it fails, then increase it slightly back. If it fails at 1.2v, raise the voltage again by a small amount.
Just for reference, my 6600k runs at 4.5ghz with 1.35v.
