Greetings!

I got the i5 6600k cpu and need some help with overclocking. I know I can do it in the BIOS but it would be nice if I could use this program so I dont have to restart my pc when I want to overclock.
Since I cant find good OC guides and I want to be sure I am not doing something terrible I got a couple questions.

- If I slide the CPU ratio to x46.0 this means its 4,6 ghz?
- I need to add more voltage to the Vcore but whats the i5 6600k base Vcore voltage? Because I can only add voltage not just type the amount of voltage I want. In youtube videos they start with around 1.4 voltage and just test the settings/benchmark.

You need to really take your time and understand overclocking. For most 1.35v is the maximum and I certainly never go above 1.35v but as a hard limit 1.4v though I never go there....as to what is the base voltage is around 1.2v... most can get a safe 4.6GHz at 1.3v to 1.325v. For a 24/7 overclock 1.28v should get you 4.5GHz...

But as mentioned, you really need to better understand overclocking and each CPU can be different, with some needing less vcore for a high overclock and others needed too much vcore....Things like LLC which is load line calibration can be needed for a stable overclock to stop a voltage droop.

As an example and for testing you can start at say 4.4GHz at 1.3v and then start dropping the voltage in very small...
