Searching for straightforward I5-6600K overclocking options.
Hello everyone,
While playing, I realized my FPS sometimes doesn't reach 150+. My computer worked well after the purchase, but with limited game updates (CS:GO), some problems have appeared. I thought overclocking might help.
Here are my details:
CPU: i5-6600k @ 3.5GHz
GPU: GTX 750Ti
Mobo: Z170 Pro Gaming
Cooler: Noctua NH-U12S
RAM: HyperX DDR4 2666MHz
I just want a small overclock, as I think a little would be sufficient for me.
What suggestions do you have? Is there a 'safe' level to increase the speed? Thanks.
As long as your core temperature stays below 80°C at full load and the Vcore remains under 1.4v, you're safe. However, many users aim for around 70°C and 1.35v. Most 6600K units can reach at least 4.5Ghz at this voltage, though some may need higher or lower voltages. The safest approach is to proceed gradually, slowly raising the multiplier while keeping an eye on core temperatures and conducting stability tests.
