Overclocking i5 6600k votage
Overclocking i5 6600k votage
Neither of these statements holds true. The package performance is significantly lower than expected, and the voltage will exceed the BIOS limits when AVX is active. It's worth checking the RoG Bench test using HWiNFO to monitor core temperatures and voltages.
It mainly comes down to having enough cooling. Some users can push the 6600K up to 4.5 Ghz with 1.44Vcore, while others hit around 3.9 Ghz. The exact result depends on your CPU and motherboard. Ref:

When increasing the speed in steps of 100Mhz, ensure you have adequate cooling—like a non-stock cooler—to reach your target. Keep in mind that a CPU begins to struggle once it reaches about 85°C.
I stopped relying on synthetic benchmarks a few generations ago.
Some can harm your CPU,
they create a workload pattern your CPU will never encounter again, which restricts your overclock potential because the temperatures under synthetic conditions artificially lower your limits.
You might remain stable for 24 hours in AID or P95 tests, but then struggle in intensive benchmarks like RoG Real Bench.
Regarding questions:
1. What does 1.310v refer to? Is it the BIOS setting or the voltage with the 0.13 boost available when AVX instructions are active?
2. What is 65C? Is it the CPU package temperature or the peak instantaneous voltage measured during a two-hour test?
3. I cap the voltage at a maximum adaptive level of 1.375, since AVX causes peaks around 1.5; for temperatures, I aim to keep average core temps below 72-75, but worry only if I notice a brief spike to 80°C on a single core using RoG Real Bench with HWiNFO64.
Including RoG Real Bench and HWiNFO64 for testing.
The temperatures make up the package and the voltage is the fixed bios part
