1.6V OC On 6700k

[CaptainAustin]

So I just got my rig all upgraded and I wanted to OC my 6700K. I have the Asus impact viii and I used its auto OC feature which put the 6700k at a 15% OC. I booted into windows and did some tests on prime95 and the results where interesting. The cpu was sitting at 1.6 Volts flat at 35C, Nothing higher and nothing lower. I shut off the test because 1.6V is way to high. Why does the automatic OC feature want to burn up my brand new cpu lol? Is there a setting i'm missing?

(Just writing this my cpu was sitting at 1.4 Volts. I want to OC but i don't want to fry my cpu. What should I do?)

Use Aida64 to stress test, HWmonitor and or NZXT CAM to monitor your CPU.

 

1.6v is really high, dial that shit down to like 1.35 at the most depending on your cooler.

Do it manually. JayzTwoCents and LTT have videos on how to do so. Also be sure to play a stressful game as part of your process.

Had an old Asrock board (Sandy Bridge) that underclocked my multiplier and raised my voltage. Funniest performance improvement I've seen.

LOL

 

its fun taking old stuff and doing shit like that. the stuff you're not supposed to do , and then get to see why.

 

there's been a few posts like " I raised my voltage to 1.399 cause that's the max that im allowed. so should I just raise my multiplier now to see how high it will go ? "

Auto ocer is just silly. Puals hardware had a asus board try overclock his 6850k to over 6ghz before he manual stoped the process. Just avoid it, its for people that have absolutly no idea about pcs then wonder why its busted in 6 months time.

[Enderman]

Uh.....yeah.....do it manually

35c? you sure you're reading it correctly?

Why these Auto tuner puts every new K CPU on 6Ghz lol

In Paul's Hardware Videos, Intel Core i7-6850k got pushed up tp 6.1Ghz 

[scottyseng]

Yeah, I remember AI tuner on my ASUS motherboard tried to put my 2500K to 5.3 GHz at 1.61v...I did it just to see what the software would do just for the lolz.

 

Manual overclock (with sensibility) I got was 4.6GHz at 1.38v.

I would do it manually but I cant. When I go to sync all cores in the bios and click on 1-core ratio limit its stuck on auto. I get no dropdown to change it.

You may have to type in a number in some spots or enable "advanced" mode.
