Pc freez with overcloking
Hi there
I have an i7 6700k with a Maximus Viii ranger motherboard.
When I overclocked to 4600ghz at 1.265 volts, everything worked perfectly and stayed stable under all stress programs.
However, when I pushed it higher to around 4700ghz at 1.295 volts, with the stress programs it functioned fine, but only P3D was smooth—even after raising the voltage to 1.325 it still froze for one game.
I noticed my PSU is only 500 watts.
I’m curious why others are using 4400ghz at 1.320 volts and it’s normal?
It might just be luck with the silicon lottery. What you're experiencing is part of OCing. You'll reach a limit where increasing voltage doesn't help much. Other factors like voltage, cooling, and PSU quality also matter. Still, 4.6Ghz seems reasonable for a 6700k overclock. If you use less voltage at 4.6Ghz compared to others for 4.4Ghz, you'll have a CPU that performs better than average.

Yes, but 4700 ghz or 4800 ghz would make a big difference for me in the flight simulator. It won't actually help, and even a 0.1 higher clock speed isn't going to change much.
