Results for the CPU OC from the Skylake i7 6700k processor

I managed to reach 4.8 at 1.37 with max temps around 55°C during 100% load. Idle stays between 27-30°C. The new gens I7s are not living up to expectations... particularly the 4790K and 6700K. The 4790K is just a rebranded 4770K with improved thermal paste, and it now has a base clock of 4.0ghz instead of 3.5. The speed gains seem mostly due to overclocking the CPU a bit. In truth, the base performance is only slightly better. Since Intel doesn’t have much competition, their CPUs don’t see much improvement. My 4790K can be overclocked from 4.2ghz to 4.7ghz at 1.3v, but it’s already getting very hot—around 90°C. Looking at older generations, like the 2600K, it was a top-tier CPU five years ago! You could easily overclock this unit from 3.4ghz to 4.8ghz on average! At just 1.5V, it reaches about 70°C. Its overclocked performance can even match the boost clock of the 4790K. For just $180! This is why the 4790K and 6700K are let down... barely able to overclock from 4.2 to 4.6ghz... I’m done.

Looks like you got a really good chip!
4.6 is quite acceptable. Those achieving 4.8+GHz are applying a lot of voltage to their chips, whereas most users with weaker OC's are handling it like Haswell and keeping it below 1.3V. A stable 24/7 O/C on a Skylake chip operates at voltages in the range of 1.3 to 1.4. It's less prone to degradation compared to Haswell. A study by Intel suggests it can require 0.1V more than Haswell while still offering similar lifespan.
Hello,
Are there any users with a Skylake CPU? What is your stable configuration on that CPU?
Thanks
I have 4.8ghz with 1.47V.
