Safe voltages for i5 6600?

Hi, I got an i5 6600 and was wondering if I could get higher clockspeeds from it if I added a bit more voltage. At the moment my voltage is at 1.136 V.

The i5 6600 only overclocks via BCLK, so just jamming more voltage into it doesn't change the frequency.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k (won) - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

Linux Proliant ML150 G6:

Dual Xeon X5560 - 24GB ECC DDR3 - GTX 750 TI - old Seagate 1.5TB HDD - dark mode Ubuntu (and Win7, cuz why not)

 

How many watts do I need? Seasonic Focus thread, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

It's a locked CPU. You won't make it faster in any way.
