i7 6700K OC 4.6 Ghz

Hi, I have achieved a stable overclock at 4.6 Ghz @ 1.335v. My temps at idle are 29-31 C°. Temps while gaming are 50-65 C° and in some cases it will jump up to 75 at the very max. I am gaming at 1080p on ultra settings.

My question is, is this overclock ok? or should i do 4.5 Ghz at a lower voltage?

My specs are:
i7 6700k
CM Evo Hyper 212
16 GB RAM 
Asus Z170 Pro Gaming
RTX 2060 Asus Strix
750W XTR XFX

As long as it is stable it should be ok.
The temps look fine.

But you have to remember that there is no safe overclock. Additional voltage will after some time kill the cpu

Sounds fine to me, provided it is actually stable.

 

If you're looking to test for stability, use something like Prime95. If you run with Small FFTs and AVX though, you will definitely see temperatures beyond 75C. It isn't the most realistic load scenario, but it's a good show of worst-case performance. Running without AVX is fine since it isn't widely used, Small FFTs is recommended though for stability testing.

 

I wouldn't be worried about temps unless it breaks 80C with Small FFTs and no AVX.

I have 1.335v on BIOS. Cpu z and HM shows between 1.328v and 1.344v (maybe even 1.376v i think it was). Is it ok? 

On the other hand, if i use 4.5 Ghz i just need to set 1.285v on BIOS for it to be stable.

shown cpu voltage and real voltage can be really different
there was a video on gamers Nexus i guess where he set his voltage to 1.2V and it was 1.4 when he measured it

so you might wanna check it if you stay wit the oc
