4.3Ghz @ 1.275V

[Rian]

Hi guys, I'm only running my 6600k at 4.3Ghz with 1.275V but it keep crashing during my stress test with Intel extreme tuning utility at about 8 to 9 mins mark.

 

Max temp during stress test is only 60 degree C. I use a hyer 212 x for cooling

 

I don't understand why.

cus the voltage is not enough.

I guess you haven't done well in the thing that's called the Silicon Lottery.

I've heard things about the Skylake chips supposedly being better in this aspect so either you're extremely unlucky or that's untrue...or some combination of both.

yuup. 4.3 at 1.275V is a lot. I had my 4790k at 4.8Ghz at 1.3V, ran stress test for 20hrs feel super solid. and then it crashes a week later lol

But  then for all we know that could be something else causing the crash...unless you can verify that it's the chip by running it for more than a week consistently when not overclocked.

 

I still need to get a good CPU cooler and venture into the realm of overclocking.

annnd then theres me with my 4790k @ 5.1 and 1.44 volts q~q

I must be so unlucky I read that 4.5Ghz can be achieved without any voltage adjustment...

yeah im pretty sure its the cpu.

Also. Micro stutter all over the place when Im tryign to use the pc, just normal tasks like watching movies and web browsing.

 

Im too lazy to readjust the voltage. CPU overclocking is a headache man, its fun at first, but super headache compared to gpu overclocking

[App4that]

I'm at 4.6GHz with 1.220v using a 4690K. Might be the lotto but I'd see what else you have running.

[Gofspar]

Ugh, you guys..

 

 

Skylake's voltage scaling is different and requires alot more voltage. OP try like 1.375v.

 

People run 1.45v 24/7 on skylake.

on all cores?

Yeah blue screens everywhere, with many many different type of errors.. I just passed a 10 min stress test though. Gonna go for 30 this time and see how well it goes

that means it is unstable. apply more voltage. ur not gonna get away it it, doesn't matter if its 30mins. I ran my test for 20 hours, and it still crashes a week later.

Yeah I read that skylake is able to handle higher voltage better. It's the fact that some review site is saying that they easily go 4.3 to 4.5 without voltage adjustment... Makes me sad

Welcome to the SiliconLottery, get a binned chip from SiliconLottery.com if you want good results.

Okay I'm going increase it. 

 

Few hours ago I went with 4.5 @ 1.35V. Guess what, it won't even boot

Is the temperature really the issue? I don't even pass the 60C mark at all with any test

That sucks. My GPU won't OC for shit even though its the OC edition so I've been there.

No. 60C is not the issue, but if u wanna apply more voltage. u need better cooling than the hyper evo

also, what mobo do u have?

[App4that]

He's applied voltage. I'd personally scale it back to 4.2 (edit oops) and see if it's stable there.

I have not heard anything really great from skylake about overclocking. Which i suspect is why intel went down in clock speed on their 6600 and 6700, as compared to the 4690 and 4790.

 

Then again, nothing will quite overclock as well as the 8350/20
