Hi everyone,
I have a question.
I’m planning to overclock my i5 6600K to 4.2 GHz and want to know whether I need to adjust the voltage or only make changes if I experience crashes.

The typical 6600K will operate at 4.2GHz with a speed of 1.2v. Consider changing the CPU voltage to Manual or Adaptive, setting it to 1.200v. The Auto mode may cause over-voltage issues.

If your setup is not working well, (meaning it crashes), then raise the voltage slightly. Keep checking your CPU temperature with each change.
