I have been using low-mid end gaming laptops for the past 5 years so this is a huge leap for me as it is.

Yeh, you're probably right, won't see a major difference between 4.2 and 4.3, but I guess I don't really need more power same as you don't. I would rather stick with lower voltage and stable system for now and try to OC in case I am not satisfied with the performance. I mostly use my PC for work...

Thanks azzazel, I might try that, however I believe my particular chip is not too prone to overclocking as when I did a 4.5 OC (without even setting voltage manually) it was very unstable and I had constant bsods. Do you think I would really see a difference between 4.3 and say 4.5 in gaming? I...

Posting this update for anyone who has the same issue or is interested. I have now tried to OC my system and it seems that 1.29 is the lowest I can go with 4300 mhz clock speed and RAM OC to 3000mhz. I have tried lowering to 1.28 and OC CPU to 4400 mhz but my system was not stable and I had an...

So today I have tried to set my cpu voltage manually and I must say it worked like a charm! I haven't tried overclocking yet, but after setting the voltage to 1.29, my cpu runs a lot cooler - max temps under full load never exceeded 50 C which is amazing! I will try to OC and lower volage...

Thank you so much Gamer1985! I will follow your advice.

Thanks a lot for your reply. We have a similar setup with a similar problem so it is indeed very informative. Another question, might sound stupid, but anyway, did you get a decrease in performance (clock speed) after you changed your voltage manually? And btw, what are your temps with 100% load...

Thank you for your reply azzazel_99, would you be so kind to provide some instructions on how to do the same? Should I just set the voltage to 1.2 and that's it?

A screenshot from Asus AI Suite 3 AI Suite 3 P.S I forgot to mention that I am noob at this, this is my first build and I am only strating to learned about OC and so on. I would prefer stability and peace of mind over OC.

Thank you for your reply. Can you please provide some guidance? By OC manually do you mean reduce to voltage manually? What would be a safe value to set?

I also want to add that iddle CPU tems are usually 20-25C. Maximum temp under 100% load was 79C

Hi everyone, As the title mentions, I am worried about high voltage on my I7-6700K CPU. I have just built a new PC with the following specs: Motherboard: ASUS Maximus VIII Hero CPU: I7-6700K CPU cooler: Zalman CNPS10X Optima RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) 3000 MHz CL15 XMP 2.0...

Hi. I am considering buying Lenovo IdeaPad Y510p,to be more specific I want this model : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834312834 This model has 5400rpm 1tb HDD which in my personal opinion is not good enough for this laptop so I was planning to upgrade it to this SSD...
