whats your i7 6700k overclock.
I've heard a lot about people who have overclocked their CPUs, most say mine runs around 4.5ghz at 1.25v, sometimes 4.7ghz at 1.30v or similar, but you rarely see the results, so I think it's mostly about that.
LLC remains strong on my Z170X UD5. BIOS voltage stands at 1.32v, but it stays dynamic. It's consistently stable since I assembled it in February. I ran tests with Prime small FFts and Intel Burn Test simultaneously for eight hours. Temperatures stayed under 70°C on each core, except during both stability programs running together. These are continuous settings, not just a one-time check.
Yes, 1.25v on VCCSA and 1.15v on VCCIO with XMP active. Each board will behave differently.
The two I've created for others perform consistently well, maintaining around 4.8 with a speed of about 1.32. One reached 4.7/1.30 and the other 4.5/1.27 as temperatures increased beyond my preference at 1.3.
When I got my i7 6700K, I chose the 4.8GHz model regardless of the vcore. I ended up with around 1.41V at that speed, but the temperatures were extremely high—about 88-90°C during maximum load. It was a real concern. Then I saw Salazar Studios using an i7 5820K on a 4.4GHz overclock with temps at 94°C. Now I’m thinking that staying under 90°C is safe.
But after all that, I discovered I wasn’t applying enough thermal paste and used a new one. Now I’m running 65-70°C at 4.5GHz with 1.34V, and I’m considering going back to the 4.8GHz again because the temps will be lower.
Excuse me for the grammar issues...
Results are in my sig. No where near an optimized overclock though. That was basically just me playing around and it ended up completely stable. Never felt the need to try for higher.
I had a good shot in the silicon lottery. My chip is clocking at 5 ghz, though I don’t recall the exact frequency off the top of my head—it might have been around 1.42v.
When i got my i7 6700K, i chose the 4.8GHz even if the vcore was anything else. I ended up at about 1.41V with that speed, but the temperatures were really high—around 88-90°C during heavy use. Then I saw Salazar Studios using an i7 5820k on a 4.4GHz overclock with temps at 94°C. Now I’m thinking that staying under 90°C is safe.
But after all that, i found out my thermal paste was too little and I replaced it with something better. Now I’m running 65-70°C on a 4.5GHz at 1.34V, and i’m considering going back to the 4.8GHz again because the temps will be lower.
Excuse me for the bad grammar in the text...
The two I've created for others both achieved around 4.8 around 1.32. I settled on 4.7/1.30 on one and 4.5 1.27 on the other because it got too hot at 1.3. The results are in my notes. It wasn't really an optimized overclock; it was more just experimenting, and it turned out to be very stable. I never felt the urge to push higher. How is it possible to run 4.8ghz on 1.32v and stay stable? What settings did you use?
