I am getting the nzxt kraken x62 , i was wondering what voltages should i stay in for the i7 6700k atm im running at 1.335v @4.7ghz around about was wondering how much higher i could go before i am a bit to high on voltage. Wanting to just get 4.8ghz . Forgot to mention the threads i looked at werent clear on voltage

Current rig :
Asus Maximus Hero VII
i7 6700k @4.7ghz
32 gb 3200mhz Corsair Vegence ram
Asus Rx480 8gb
Samsung evo 850 500g
Noctua nh d14 (givin to my dad for his i7 870)
evga g2 1000w ( i know its overkill but was cheaper then 750w an 850w at the time)

Intel suggests voltage limit at 1.4V, although for a daily use try to stick with 1.35V. your CPU is fairly similar to mine (1.33V for 4.7Ghz) so my guess is you need around 1.39V for 4.8Ghz. They are all luck based of course, could be much higher could be lower. As you can see, even though I got 4.8Ghz at 1.39V I'm actually sticking to 4.7Ghz at 1.33V for daily usage.
