6600k overclock 1.408 vcore normal?

Go to solution Solved by Lays,

If it's set to auto in the bios, isn't anything in the auto range considered safe?

 

It's fine, I've talked to a few people that received review samples from Intel and other companies, they were told anything under 1.45v is fine for 24/7.

 

I would recommend trying to lower it, you should be able to hit 4.6 or 4.7 at 1.4v.

Everything is set to auto except the multiplier, which is at 44. The vcore jumps to 1.408v at auto is that normal ? Does everything look okay?

Manually dial the voltage in mate. Leaving it on Auto is stupid

1,4 is high..

 

The maximum you want to have is about 1.3V if you care about lifespan

 

 

that seems way too high tbh

 

 

1.45v on Skylake is the new "1.35v" It has higher voltage tolerances.
