So I've had the 6600k for a few days and been messing around with it to find its potential.
normally on my 6400 it would tell me from the get-go on boot up if the overclock is no good.
right now i havent had any problems booting up.
ive gone to 4.8ghz but no tests or anything.. just was playing around to see if it actually would boot. i didnt want to run tests on it yet because i knew the temperatures were already high at 4.6-4.7 and didnt want a crispy 6600k just yet.
im finding prime95 failing on last core within a few mins at 4.5ghz
and at 4.6-4.7 it pretty much fails in seconds.
ive played around with the voltage and gotten up to 1.35vcore, with that i was peaking at 92c-95c
that point i just shut it down.
what im basically looking for is to confirm that the chip is able to run past 4.5 but i have a core thats limped. Ive done some searching and it seems like a common event to have so what is the solution if there is?
drop the multiplier on that core to 45 (x100) or until it stops crapping out?
or run as is and see if the other cores fail?
or... run different types of tests?
ive been using intel extreme tuning for bench and tests also and it seems more forgiving than prime95. but i have crashed before and bumped up my vcore and it became stable so i know its able to determine the threshold.
