Should I Overclock Higher?

[TuckingFypo]

I recently got Intel i5 6600k and oc'd it. I was hitting 4.8 ghz with 1.245 v and a H100i V2. I was just wondering if it would be safe to overclock it even more?

ooooooh that's nice. 

 

Definitely push further, 5GHz would be very cool.

Use 1.325 and go has far you can!

Are you sure that overclock is stable?

I've been using the Prime95 stress test for around 2 hours now and the highest temperature out of all four of the cores was 50 C

1.245v for 4.8ghz?  What stress tests have you run?

If so, then you've hit the lottery.  Can you post a screenshot for everyone to admire?

yea go for a higher score just to see where you can get. you might find your highest score will not give you better performance in games

Definitely go for high as possible, but dont go too crazy on voltages. You dont wanna destroy that chip
