CPU Overclocking voltages

Hellooo,

 

I'm currently overclocking my i5 6600k on an ASUS Maximus VIII Ranger and i'm in the process of trying to squeeze every bit of performance out of it. I've overclocked a few times, but only really touched on the core voltage and left the others on auto; so I'm just wondering whether adjusting the others will have a significant effect on my overclock? Also, are there any features specific to my motherboard that would be best turned off?

 

Thanks!

Jord

keeping uncore voltage the same as core can increase overclocking potential, just like increasing vccin. asus auto settings are quite good, theyre disabling the stuff that needs to be disabled once you change the multiplier. i bet theres a guide on the rog forums of your board too.

IF YOU WANT ME TO REPLY TO YOU, QUOTE MY POST.
