I5 6600k OC results Post urs :)

[Dawid_45678]

Pc Specs: ( I think i got a golden one 😀 could go up to 5 Ghz maybe)

1. CPU: i5 6600k
2. CPU Cooler: H80I V2 (x61 Kraken coming in some days, but tests done with h80)
3. Motherboard: Asus Z170-A
4. RAM: HyperX Fury Black 8GB DDR4 2757mhz (XMP)
5. Boot/OS Drive: Crucial BX100 256GB
7. GPU: 780 TI
8. Case: NZXT 240 Phantom
9. PSU: Seasonic 650 W Gold+
10. Fans: 2x NZXT 120mm
11. Monitor: Asus VG248QE
12. Windows 10 Pro 64bit.

Ok, the newest (Steady so far) OC:

HWMONITOR for monitoring and AIDA64 for a stresstest 9 hours stresstest I achieved the following results:

IDLE: 26C

BIOS Settings

1. VCore at 1.360
2. Clock to 4.7 Ghz
3. BCLK to 103.00
4. XMP

Results are as follows...

MAX Temps:
Core Max: 66C (after about a hour the temps didnt go up anymore)

GHZ Score: 4.845 Ghz

MAX VCore: 1.316V

MAX RAM: 2757 mhz

Pictures will follow Pc is not running right now dont have a cooler 😀

I highly doubt you'll get to 5ghz. Maybe 4.9 at the most. Your already pushing way to much voltage at 4.7ghz for 4.9 to even be feasable in my opinion. (unless you have a chip that can do 4.9ghz at below 1.375)

So 4.845 Ghz at 1.316 voltage is too much ? with a heat of 66 c ? and yeah didnt mean to go past 1.36/7 to get a better lifespan 😀

You will never tell the difference between 4.5Ghz and 4.7GHz when actually using the PC.

But you will certainly notice the difference if your CPU fails through setting the CPU voltage too high.

Suggest that if you care about the life of your PC you should go a bit more conservative on the speed and voltage, and don't bother with a bigger cooler.

Even 1.30 is too high for daily use from what I've heard. The max you want to do is 1.275 for 24/7 use.

However, if you want to temporarily up the voltage to 1.3xx to see how high the CPU goes, go for it.

My Vs are just under load in a stress test like aida64 on 1.316 (66c)

Idle doing Desktop Things its on about 1.25/6V (25-28c)

When playing my main game (cs go) it goes up to 1.288 and not higher. (under 50c)

So i dont pass the 1.3 mark anyways im not doing Rendering or some type of that Things

But yeah im gonna try to get to 5ghz gonna post latley a Picture if ist gonna happen waiting on my new cooler 😀

Idk, I've read a number of places that Skylake is more resilient to higher voltages (I believe something to do with a new gate dielectric material, or how they fab it). People seem to be going as high as 1.35 V for regular use. Of course, whether or not that is truly safe is hard to say.

 

[Gamer1985]

Normal operating voltages have been reported as 1.25v-1.35V with 1.45 being overly extreme for Skylake. Most experienced OCers say do not exceed 1.40V but that is still pushing into unknown dangerous territory with possible degradation occurences. I would say stay under 1.35V and your chip will last just like it would at stock settings.

Got it up to 4.9 but then it ends, not going over 1.32 V and 55C with my new kraken x61

With any good cooler those chips tend to hit the OC wall from voltage before you have real temp problems.
I run my 4790K @ 4.6 1.22 volts nice and cool 62C on a air cooler no real reason to overclock it any higher except just to brag.

Asrock z170m pro4s
4.4ghz 1.39v

Couldnt get the vtage anylower without causing a bluescreen
