Overclocking i5-6600k
Overclocking i5-6600k
Hi!
I'm checking if it's possible to overclock your i5-6600k using Intel Extreme Tuning Utility on a B250M motherboard.
Overclocking will cancel the warranty for your retail CPU.
It could also damage your CPU, motherboard, or system memory.
Moderate overclocking is generally safe now.
Intel and AMD have become more accepting of overclocking compared to a few years ago.
I don't know if they will enforce it if you try to return a dead CPU. Probably depends on the seller, but in theory yes it would void the warranty. Don't know if they can tell if the cpu died bc of oc tbh...
But the 6600K is a fairly old CPU, is it really still under warranty? Anyway, if you're careful and follow some good guides, there is very little risk.There is a really good one here on the forums. Just watch the temps and be reasonable with the voltage
It includes a warranty, I purchased it recently, and I appreciate your help. I'll look for a guide. Thanks!
