Max core TDP i7 6700k

[MrBeasa]

I have my 6700k overclocked to 4.5 ghz @ 1.245v + 0.005 offset and according to Intel extreme tuning utility my core TDP is around 91w-93w (whilst running Prime95) I was just wondering how people overclocked their 6700k to 4.7/4.8ghz without exceeding the Max Core TDP of 95w ? or is this just a guideline that people tend to ignore ?
Thanks for the help.

TDP is a specification for how much heat a cooler for a given component must be able to dissipate. So a cooler must be able to dissipate 95+ W to adequately cool a stock 6700k. People doing significant OCing will have better coolers capable of dissipating a lot more heat, so the stock TDP of the CPU becomes largely irrelevant.

Prime95 is a poor test for overclocking.
It uses non traditional instructions.
Test with OCCT.
The key variable to monitor is vcore. It seems like about 1.4v should be the max under load.
Silicon lottery bins chips at that voltage.

How high you can go is determined by the quality of your particular chip.
89% can do 4.6 ,51% can do 4.7, 12% can do 4.8.
You hear about the higher numbers from those with golden chips.
Those with dogs remain silent.

If you use adaptive voltage and speedstep, your cpu will lower the multiplier and vcore when there is less to do.

You exceed the TDP. Just like you exceed the speced voltage and clock speed while overclocking.

Thanks for that, will give OCCT a try.
