How much voltage for 6700K?
ok :unsure: :wacko: I am a bit scared, but I shall listen to thy staff as they know best. How long do you recommend an OCCT Stress test to run for? Keep in mind my dad needs to pay the power bill and we aren't made of money.
Run it for as long as you're comfortable with. You can never confirm that an oc is stable but longer stress tests can determine how stable it probably is.
Not much more than 1.3 unless you have extremely good cooling(custom loop or better). A bit after 1.3v, you start to get electron mitigation which can lower the lifespan of your CPU by a lot.
What's electron mitigation?
any other sources for that info? My temps are fantastic even at 1.4V on my 5820k but people have said it will still degrade the lifespan or risk breaking it so I've always been extremely hesitant to go above 1.35V.
I'm not sure which exactly but my recommendations are from a combination of different overclockers. Since there aren't any official numbers from intel that I know of, I draw from the general consensus of people who seem to know what their talking about--mainly overclockers and their in-depth guides. Most seem to agree that beyond 1.45v, you're asking for degradation and the range below that is generally fine with adequate cooling. I haven't read any stories of any serious degradation with voltages below that.
My max core vid is 1.36, I can't tell if that is safe or not, temps are fine! why so much mis info?
@LinusTechTips WHERE IS OUR VOLTAGE VIDEO PLEASE
That's fine.
There is no mis-info, every generation and every CPU is different.There is no magical formula.
^Ditto
According to Intel, the people who actually made the chip http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/core/core-i7-lga-2011-datasheet-vol-2.html This is for the CPU I have, the 5820k, they recommend you not go over 1.35v. For Skylake which is 14nm vs. Haswell which is 22nm, the recommended voltage is obviously lower at around 1.3v. You're killing your CPU if you go higher, but it's not like that matters to much if you plan to upgrade in the near future.
This is for 2011 and not 2011-3. Also, I don't see where they mention 1.35v.
For Skylake, Intel states max safe voltage at 1.52v http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/core/desktop-6th-gen-core-family-datasheet-vol-1.html
