So I was actually tuning down my overclock on an I7 6700k from 4.8ghz 2 core and 4.7ghz other 2 cores ---> 4.7ghz 2 cores and 4.6ghz other 2 cores. At the first set I was running 1.405v and I was slowly bumping down the voltage until I got a crash to settle at a lower voltage for the lower frequencies using the in Windows Asus AI suite. Somehow, I don't know how, maybe i clicked the slider on the voltage and didn't notice, i bumped the voltage up to 1.5v... eeek. I didn't notice until I was running a benchmark to see if it would crash and saw it thermal throttling. Naturally I quickly stopped the benchmark and was a little worried when i saw what voltage I was running. I bumped it down to 1.35v and ran the benchmark again to see what result I would get, I was getting 1316ish prior to thermal throttling. After Thermal throttling i was getting 1650. I went down again to 1.335 and finally the app crashed. At 1.345 it would still run but with a slightly lower score so I settled on 1.35v. After I went back to cinebench R20 and got a similar bump in score.From 2410-2420 to 2450. Can anyone explain this? Here I am worried that I damaged my cpu and it's running better? Just for the record I am not recommending anyone run an I7-6700k higher than 1.4ish volts but I'm trying to understand just what's going on.
