Ive ran Aida64 for 24 hours. Also Prime95 for 24 hours. And realbench for 12 hours. So i can only assume its stable now. Heat stayed around 70 degrees. I got the cpu now at 3.6Ghz on 1.350V with LLC 5. Ive tried 4.7 till 1.375. Didnt want too go further then that, and that didnt work out. Im pretty happy with the results so far:) Again thanks for the help.

Well i watched a video about LLC and the guy recommended 4/5 on a scale of 8 with Asus mobo. So ive set it on 5 for now. The Vcore is represented way more accurate now And stress test found instability within 2minutes on a vcore of 1.325. And later on 1.350 as well. So im trying 4.7Ghz @ 1.360 now. Thanks for helping me in the right direction. This is been really helpful! Do you perhaps know about prime95 and power virusses? All i can find is people confirming it and denying it

No its never mentioned in the video. I saw a video mentioning LLC to change it to 6. Would that fix the voltage being different? Didnt want to change it and brake something. Found the LLC settings, its set auto. And it goes from 1 to 8. Not sure where to start with a safe default.

Ok thanks for the reply. And is it normal that CPU-Z show a different, even a higher voltage then set in the bios?

After years of doubt i finnally started overclocking. I got an i7 6700K that i just overclocked to 4.5Ghz, by following all the steps from the video below. And now im running stress tests. But something is bothering me. The first attempt was not stable, i used a vcore of 1.275(in bios). Hoping in a higher clock with lesser power then i previously ran with auto settings in bios. But that failed after 2 hours. Then i noticed the Vcore was different then in the BIOS(think it was 1.320@cpu-z, not sure). And when i ran de CPU before the overclock it was at auto/default it was around 1.344/1.360. Now i changed to 1.325 vcore what Linus recommended in a video to start with(link below). Yet, when i look in CPU-Z or Aida-64 the vcore is 1.376. Which sounds really high to me. A totally different number then i set in the bios. So my question how i can fix this? Do i slowly lower the vcore and take geusses at what vcore i wanna get in CPU-Z? Or is there perhaps an option that i need to know, thats maybe making the vcore more accurate? And now it passed a 4 hour stress of ROG Realbench. And not sure where to go from here with lowering the voltage. So i would like to lower the voltage, temps are all fine around 70* and sometimes going to 75*. So thats not a problem. But i would like a modest overclock to 4.5Ghz, maybe take it further not sure. Would like to first narrow it down with the voltage. Also Linus mentions not using Prime95 in the video due power virusses and possible damaging hardware. Is this still true? Can and should i use it? I was thinking of using realbench or Aida64 and perhaps even prime95 to validate the overclock with 24 stress test. All advice is welcome! And sorry for my bad English. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjIweExETlI

Well i hope it would only be cosmetics. I can dig that and dont mind it at all. However the problem is LucasArts and Disney. They get the final say over visual representations of Star Wars. Everything in the games etc goes threw them. If they confirm it's fine and it makes sense in the Star Wars universe its ok to release. The amount they can change cosmetic wise, is not that much.

The industry is harming themselves.

Yeah Cloud II are really good for CSGO. Sound and surround are very nice, no complaints there. The only problem is the mic, only way to fix that is people tuning up your volume.

Got the Asus monitor. It's totally worth it, and this is comming from someone that only played CS and screen tearing all over the place. It's just a way smoother experience.

Looks really nice so far, cant wait to see the rest.

Yeah go for the 970, its still a good card for most games. As long you dont go crazy with settings or resolutions.

Yeah can't agree on that. Like said it takes some calibration. But it looks very good and a friend has the other model, at a LAN we could barely see any differences.

I can recommend the Asus Swift PG27QR they're TN or IPS and both are fine quality with a high refresh rate.

Spawn from cs 1.6. Very unique style and gamesense.

COD nazi zombies are really fun. Especially with the original 4 and the story/objectives.
