I5 6600k overclocking help

[random user9999]

I am trying to overclock my I5 6600k to 4 Ghz and was wondering if anyone knew a good voltage or any other helpful information since this will be my first time oc something. I have a Corsair H60 cooler and an ASUS Mobo.

ALL CPU's are different. I could have a i5 6600K as well and only get 3.5Ghz with the same voltage.

What i would do is set the voltage to 1.3V and keep pushing the core clock up by 100Mhz until you get a Blue Screen. Then change the Voltage to 1.35 and keep going till you get to 4Ghz. DONT PUT THE VOLTAGE PAST 1.5V OTHERWISE YOU COULD FRY YOUR CPU

 

I got 4.7Ghz out of my Pentium G3258 with 1.56V :3

try not to go above 1.35 V on your Vcore and use the multiplier before you try your Base clock

[Beeeyeee]

set her on 1.35 volts and keep upping the clock until its unstable. maybe drop the clock a tiny bit for stability, then lower the voltage as low as you can get while having complete stability with the highest clock:)

Ok how much should i try to move the multiplyer up by?

:3 i had 1.7V on my Pentium and somehow it hasn't been fried yet lol.

dang what cooler do you have on that? i put my 3570k on 1.25 i believe  and it thermal throttled on a 212 evo.

H60

Given your cooler, I don't recommend going over 1.3v

 

As for the multiplier, 41 should be a good start. Silicon can always get the best of you, but you shouldn't have any trouble with 4.1ghz at 1.3v.

if you going to 4 ghz 40 is what youll need. ( 100 mhz x 40 = 4000 mhz,- 4Ghz

CoolerMaster Nepton 240M

With that cooler and at 1.7V it spins at 800RPM and i get 60c at 100% load

yeah you'll be pretty good to probably go above 4

you said dont put your cpu past 1.5 volts and then said this. I got 4.7Ghz out of my Pentium G3258 with 1.56V :3. key word: 1.56 volts. LOL what?

I have a Haswell CPU and you have a Skylake CPU

They are different architectures so my CPU can take more V

My CPU is also a Pentium - They are made for Low Power Usage and very low Heat Output

You have an i5 - Made for heavy gaming and can be used for Rendering

So I got it to 4.4 Ghz using 1.3V and it has passed a 15 minute realbench test and a 470 minute test at 1.33 volts. I would like to try another stress test though on a different software for free. Any suggestions?

[silverjay928]

aida64 use the trail version for about 24 hours if you want to make sure, or if this is a gaming machine test it for how long you usually game  plus half or full hour extra ( EXAMPLE if you usually play BF4 for 4 hours each time you play stress  test it for about 4 1/2 to 5 hours) that how i test all my overclocks usually and nothing has failed me yet.

Ok thanks
