i5-6600k overclocking 4.5Ghz?

[KingZombie]

here are the specs:
i5-6600k
AsRock Fata1lty Z170 Gaming K4
2x8 16GB DDR4 2133 Ram
Noctua NH-D15 cooler
s
What would you say these specs could reach for (stable)overclocking it to 4.5Ghz at what voltage.

lots of guides you can find with Google.

Your odds are good.

As of 5/2016
What percent can get an overclock at a somewhat sane 1.40v Vcore.

I5-6600K
5.0 2%
4.9 11%
4.8 36%
4.7 64%
4.6 88%

is 1.4vcore safe/stable under load for gaming? I read that 1.4vcore is reaching towards dangerous limits or anything above that is unsafe/unstable. what are my odds of reaching 4.5GHz at 1.35v or 1.3 etc and would it be stable/safe under load while gaming?

It all depends on your individual 6600K, it's the silicon lottery, no way of telling beforehand 😉

i heard of that. isn't there at least a good idea i can get based on my cpu cooler/motherboard choice for the i5-6600k on what frequency/voltage i could get from overclocking?

It's more CPU itself than anything else, a good quality mobo helps, i.e. don't get one with poor Power Phases, VRMs etc. Voltage will very greatly at times, have seen 6600K do 4.7 at a low voltage and others needing much higher or not even able to hit 4.7 without an an unreal voltage

I'm just curious, how can you tell if a MoBo that has "poor power phases,VRM etc"? Or is it just stay away from the cheapest Z170 mobo?
