4.9GHz with an Air Cooler? Intel Skylake 6700K

If i'm being honest i've been working on lowering it to a good 4.7 today with lower voltages for that very reason

 

hahahah! :P I only use my overclock settings when I need it, which is just when i do gaming and video convertion. It goes back to a VERY minor OC most of the time

The Mistress: Case: Corsair 760t   CPU:  Intel Core i7-4790K 4GHz(stock speed at the moment) - GPU: MSI 970 - MOBO: MSI Z97 Gaming 5 - RAM: Crucial Ballistic Sport 1600MHZ CL9 - PSU: Corsair AX760  - STORAGE: 128Gb Samsung EVO SSD/ 1TB WD Blue/Several older WD blacks.

Yeah amazing. Only a very few gets those engeering samples while we, us, us consumers gets those shitty binned POS chips we never be able to do 4.9GHz unless we live in Alaska.

Actually, those ES samples have ran worse historically speaking. The best OCing chips are almost never ES chips.

Where's the source link in the OP? Or did I miss something?

I love how these new Skylake chips have only just become available and yet a number of people here are already experts on how to OC them and claim to know how much voltage will kill them or not. :/

It is impossible to tell at this point what voltage limits are "safe". Anyone that claims they know, are merely making assumptions based on what we know about Haswell. Haswell is nothing like Broadwell or Skylake. Broadwell and Skylake are voltage hungry. Especially broadwell, since its stock VID was 1.24v according to a couple reviews. To put that into perspective, my G3258's stock VID was 1.08v. 

 

We either need to wait for Intel to give an official statement regarding safe voltage limitations on Skylake (like they did for Haswell previously) or wait for enough CPU's to ship around for people to make these tests themselves. Until then, anyone's guess would be as good as mine.

Exactly this, I've limited mine to 1.39v until I see something from Intel about Safe Voltage.

Dunno how you guys are getting your numbers but I'm running 4.8Ghz 1.435v with temps as high as 88C and I'm using a Corsair Hydro Series H110i GT 280mm

Pls stahp... 1.435v... - 1.4v is the recommended limit from Intel, you might be slowly killing your CPU at that voltage, especially if you're unlucky.

Plus the higher the voltage the higher the temperatures.
