I5 6600k overclock with Cryorig H5 Universal

[jay1091]

Is the Cryorig H5 universal good for  overclocking an i5 6600k and how much can you overclock with the cooler. 

[UnlimitedTMD]

yes, depends on your cpu, around 4.4 probably

I have the ultimate, I think it's rated for slightly more TDP than the universal but not by much and it was able to handle 1.35v just fine on a 4790k. I actually just bought an H7 to test it and to use on a 6800k so we will see how it goes. I got the H7 because I wanted to mount a 120mm red Riing fan to it.

That CPU cooler will likely not limit your OC'ability, the silicon will. 

 

The temps may be higher, but should still be under max no matter how high you push the frequency. 

 

Given, that you are also respecting a ~1.4v max range to achieve that frequency.
