need help in overclocking

JHY · October 28, 2016

I'm completely new to overclocking cpu, and I need help with. I want know how to find the best voltage for i5 6600k with speed of 4.6ghz or above. I do have aio cooler, so temp isn't really a problem.

It has to be able to endure more than 2 hours of stress test. I have tried to overclock, but it couldn't endure 30 mins.

My mobo is ASUS Z170-A, and I can set voltage mode in auto, manual, and adaptive mode, I've tried auto and manual, but I have no idea how to set voltage on adaptive mode.

This is how you overclock skylake. This particular guide is for a 6700k, but a 6600k follows the same steps (fortunately for you, you have the same BIOS as the one used in the guide so it should be apples to apples for you!).Your exact level of performance and required voltages to get there will vary on a lot of potential factors (silicon lottery, cooling potential, ambient temperature, motherboard, and so on)
