I just recently purchased a I5 6600k from silicon lottery that is certified at 4.9Ghz at 1.44v and is Delidded. I got the CPU yesterday and ive been missing around with it and have been able to get it to 4.8Ghz at 1.365v (I could probably go lower if I wanted). I run my pc alot and the applications are going to be pushing the cpu extremely hard for extended periods of time so i dont feel comfortable going over 1.4v. Heres my current bios settings

CPU multiplier-  48

Voltage- 1.365v

Speed step-disabled

spread speed-disabled

intel turbo boost-disabled

I tried a bclk overclock but could never get a boot no matter the settings.

I want to get 4.9ghz or higher on it and i think i can. Thermals arnt a problem at all when I stress tested at 4.8 i got 46c max.

So i am seeking BCLK or just OC'ing advise in general. Rest of specs

CPU-I5 6600k

CPU Cooler-H110i GTX

Ram- 16gb G-Skill 2133 ram

Mobo-Asrock Extreme 7+

GPU-Reference GTX 970

PSU-650w EVGA GS

OS-Win 10 64bit

Thanks any help is appreciated

They rated it at 4.9 for 1.44v. There was a reason they did that, it needs 1.44v for full stability. Unless you can't keep the temps down, or need to save cents a month on your power bill -set it to 1.44v.

Is that safe for the chip to run basically 24/7?

All speculation at this point as no one has really compiled a decent data set for voltage degradation. Most OC sources are putting it between 1.4-1.45v for 24/7 safe max values.

 

Using an adaptive voltage with max offset at 1.44v and then testing your applications should give you a good indication of the actual voltage you'll need to sustain whatever it is that you're doing. Without knowing what you're doing it's hard to make any kind of recommendation. If it's F@H I wouldn't want it that high, if it's something like Photoshop/Premiere/encoding I'd run it at that all day (as evidenced by my clocks :P ). Entirely up to you.

What does disabling Turbo boost actually do? I have mine on atm and do not notice anything.
