Overclocking i5 6600k votage

[ztdz800]

i have an i5 6600k brand new i got to 4.4ghz at 1.310v but my pc crashed in aida 64 top temperature was 65c so i was wondering if it was safe to raise more the voltage the test stressed everything cpu gpu memory

Really depends if you have sufficient cooling. Some enthusiasts can take the 6600K up to 4.5 Ghz with 1.44Vcore. Others get stuck at 3.9 Ghz. It all depends on you CPU and motherboard. Ref: http://www.overclock.net/t/1570313/skylake-overclocking-guide-with-statistics

When overclocking step up in increments of 100Mhz. If you have sufficient cooling, eg. not stock cooler, you may very well achieve your goal. Just remember that a CPU starts struggling at 85 degrees Celsius.

I stopped using synthetic benchmarks several generations back.

1. Some of them can damage your CPU

2. They present a load pattern that you CPU will never again see ... so limiting your OC because temps are high under a synthetic means you have artificially lowered your OC cause that load will never been seen again.

3. You can be 24 hour stable under AID / P95 and then fail in a multitasking type benchmark like RoG Real Bench.

That being said....

1. What is 1.310v ? Is that the voltage you set in the BIOS or is that the voltage including the 0.13 boost that arrived when AVX instructions are present ?

2. What is 65C ? Is that the CPU package temp or the peak instantaneous voltage observed during a 2 hour test ?

3. Personally, I limit voltage to a max adaptive value of 1.375 ... when AVX is present, it peaks at about 1.5 and I'm fine with that.... as for temps, I don't want to see anything above 72-75 for an average core temp... but won't get concerned unless I see a short duration instantaneous peak of 80C on 1 core using RoG Real Bench and HWiNFO64 for testing

The temps are the package and the voltage is the bios fixed one

 

[JackNaylorPE]

Neither is accurate.

The package is way less than the core temps and and the voltage will rise well above the BIOS setting when AVX is present

Do the RoG Bench thing with HWiNFO measuring core tempos and core voltages
