14nm i7 6700K to 5Ghz, What do i need?

[RedHaze1911]

So i hear that the new msi bios has a game boost option that goes up to 11 wich is a 5 ghz boost and im getting a MSI Z170A GAMING PRO mobo in a couple of weeks. So i was wondering what i would need for the 5 ghz mark since im also getting the new 6700k chip with the mobo? I have a v8 gts coolermaster air cooler,a fractal design r5 blackout case with two 140mm fans currently but i will get about four more 140mm corsair fans in the future. iI have a RM1000w corsair gold rating psu, a 980 ti msi twin frozr V gpu and its about 18 dregrees Celcius in the room il have the pc in. Oh and also ddr4 corsair vengeance ram 4x4 gb.

Do u think its possible that i could reach 5 ghz? if not,what should i aim for considering that i plan to use the cpu for about three or four years. Or just tell me what i would need to add/change in the build to get the best overcklock possible while maintaining a long lifetime for the cpu.

And also try and rate my build as its my first attempt to order a pc thats not mass prodiction and il build it myself once it gets here. 😀

Any reccomendations are appreciated,thanks

Good luck! First, you need to have the good luck to have bought a chip that is capable of reaching that speed at a low enough voltage. The probability is low (less than 25%, although we need more data to get a good handle on the statistics)

Some people have gotten there, with 'normal' cooling rigs, but it is all a matter of the luck of the draw. 5.0 Ghz is VERY likely to be too high for 24/7 use, you could halve (or more) the life of your CPU.

Delid it and use best tim u can get

How would you halve your CPU life if the temps remain within the normal operating range?

I too would like to reach that magical 5GHz level. Currently on 4.7GHz.

Plenty have done it on the 4790k so I am hoping it is possible on the 6700k.

Delid it. Temp drop is 20 C

Because we are now dealing with a 14nm process, and electromigration is dependent on both temperature AND voltage. Temperature alone results in 'random' motion when combined with high voltages, the motion become more 'directed'.

An estimated eight years, reduced to only four, is still OK, but I would be concerned that the 5.0Ghz will go away as the voltage needs increase over time.

In a couple of years, as the processing procedure improves, the likelihood of 5.0% increases, as 4.8 and 4.9 has for Haswell.

I'm not sure about that. (It may run cooler, all right, but that may not help as much as it has in the past) So far, indications are that Skylake is far more voltage limited than Haswell; you hit the Voltage wall before the Thermal wall, so delidding may be of very limited value.

As the die shrinks with 14nm process, and beyond , the balance of the Physics changes.

It's not impossible but your temps are going to be pretty high up there. I managed to reach 5.3GHz but with the temps i was having i didn't even try opening a picture. http://imgur.com/U6ZZ1Ll

Im using the ASUS Maximus VIII HERO with a H110i GT. I down clocked my CPU and got a stable OC of 4.9GHz with decent temps. I ran Cinebench R15 and got a score of 1067, almost neck to neck with the 3930K. http://imgur.com/oPYeey2

What was your voltage?
