i7-6700k 4.2 GHz/1.350 V, 92 degrees Max during RealBench, what should I do?

I think that 28m is enough.

 

Look at the screenshot below, I took 2:

 

So yeah, you're still running too much voltage for a stock CPU.  Is everything in BIOS, and I mean everything in the OC area set to default?  If you aren't absolutely positive, go ahead and load defaults in the exit menu.

Look at this video that I recorded during the stress test: http://es.tinypic.com/r/242s7xk/9

 

I only have XMP enabled due to my memory ram 3200mhz.

 

I will load default settings again in BIOS.

I agree, but should those voltages trigger temps that high?

Voltage will impact temp greater than actual CPU speed.

Great job at providing the additional information and video.  Your CPU temps are in line with your voltage level.  I think you can go ahead and stop assuming that you have broken hardware.  

 

You're averaging in the 70's during RealBench and have some peaks popping up in the low 80's.  All of this is happening at 1.31+ volts.  There is nothing wrong with the cooler!!!

I know it just seems too much heat for that voltage. kinda hard to say i guess havnt tried that cooler

I didn't even see where anyone asked what his ambient room temps were.  Everything is relative...

 

With that said, OP what is your ambient room temp during the test?

Maybe using manual mode and lowering the core voltage as much as you can while keeping it stable.

Not sure what that would leave in terms of overclocking headroom. and Ks needs to be clocked

Defaults settings loaded.

Look at the photos of my BIOS below:

What should I do now, another stress test or what?.

Reboot and look at the voltage again.

No, before any of that.

 

Your idle voltage in BIOS should drop below 1 volt.  Maybe .8 to .9v area.

You're set.  Now let that RealBench blast off.  Keep doing what you're doing because you're on the right track!

Ok, RealBench for 30m again?.

15 minutes is fine.  We're just trying to track changes.  You can further stress test later.

Ok, I'll right back in 15m.

My unit is the V2 version, only has 1 3-pin connector that goes to CPU HEADER and another Y splitter 4-pin for the fans.

The pump is connected to CPU HEADER and the fans are connected to the pump using the Y splitter that came with the pump.

 

That's wrong. The CPU header with default bios does NOT default to 100% constant fan line (not curve). You should use one of these to connect your pump directly to your PSU:

 

 

It will eliminate the chance of you fucking up your bios settings and eliminate any current limitations of the board.

Hi,

My H100i v2 doesn't came with one of these cables.

 

just this:

1. pump > 3-pin header

1. pump > Y splitter for 4-pin fans

You can have it connected to your motherboard as long as two things are true:

1) Whatever fan header you're connected to is set to 100% at all times. No curve

2) Your motherboard is capable of delivering the kind of power required via a fan header that the pump requires. This is not always the case.

 

Remember, a pump is NOT a fan, and cannot be controlled like one.

His motherboard is more than capable of delivering the appropriate amount of power to the pump and fans.  It does need to be set to 100%, but his Corsair software is doing that for him.  

 

There is no need for a powered PWM adapter.

Question:

1. Why the temps on Max are still high?

2. Where is the Turbo Speed (4200 MHz), the processor kept  4020MHz all the time.

Notice how you're voltage has dropped dramatically?  Those max temps are not high!  You should really stop trying to compare your setup to those of other folks.

 

I asked earlier, what is the temperature of your room?

The manual of my motherboard say:

The CPU_FAN connector supports a CPU fan of maximum 1A (12 W) fan power.

Well, is not hot, I have a fan installed on the roof of my room at full speed. The thing is that my room is not hot at all, it's normal. I don't have any tool to measure it.
