i7 6700k overclock

[SHADY16]

So i was able to get stable at 4.6 ghz but im wondering if my temps or voltage is too high and mind you any less voltage its unstable so i cant decrease it.  max temp i got was 89c during stress testing with realbench and intel burn idh aida64 too cheap to buy it. and i am at 1.385 vcore. my average temps in gaming and everyday use so far have been about 65-72c range nothing more

What cooler do you have?

[themctipers]

you could push a bit further (since your usage runs at good temps) ,but honestly that's where I would stop (temps too hot for 100% load, voltage is nice, you got .065v headroom)

EVGA CLC 120

I have my 6700k at 1.330v and its rock steady. With using a 120MM CLC you would likely not be able to push any further as 120MM CLC's are ham strung unfortunately and are similar in performance to something like a Cryorig H7. It gives decent to good performance, but not enough to really push the curve in terms of performance.

If it's hitting 89, then voltage is too high. Lower it down a couple notches; generally, you don't want to go over 1.35 on a good cooler, let alone a half decent one.

 

Try 1.34, should be more adequate to your cooling solution.

i would so do that but anything lower then 1.385 i crash @ 4.6 highest my processor gets at that vcore is around 4.3/4.4

Im abit late but I run 1.45v for 4.8ghz an during stress tests hovers 90-95 max which is hot but under any other scenario it rarly hits 80c. I have a 280mm aio. Dano if this helps. Has been solid for me and a friend that brought it of for well over 12 months now.

Keep in mind that the 89c you saw was under full system load during synthetic stress testing.  You'll more than likely never see those temps again under daily use / gaming type loads. 

 

As long as you feel that the overclock is stable, I so go for it.

I like your style.  Nothing wrong with pushing chips.

Then knock it down to 4.5ghz and see how it goes...

4.5 even crashes under 1.375 need at least 1.38 for 4.5. even at stock i need 1.26
