Hi guys,
A few years ago I bought a new rig with a i7 6700k and a MSI Z170A Pro gaming carbon motherboard. I've never had the need to OC the CPU, but now I'm kinda interested in the fps gain I can get in some games that are pretty CPU based.
Could you guys provide me with some vital info for my first OC? I really have some specific needs for this OC:
The OC is more out of interest than actual performance gain as well. Are there any other things I need to concider?
Would be great if some of you could provide me with some help!

Could you guys provide me with some vital info for my first OC? I really have some specific needs for this OC:
- I want to do a small OC (4,4/4,5Ghz?)
- I want to keep the voltage as low as possible since I also do a lot of office stuff for work on this PC. Can I keep stockvoltage?
