temperatures

what is good temps for a watercooled i7-6700k? i have an idle temp of around 30 degress and about 50/55 when the cpu is at 100% usage (intelBurnTest)

That sounds perfect to me.

okay great

what clock speed? what voltage? custom loop or AIO? if AIO what size, so many factors effect temps we need details.

 

Personally I reach low 70's on my 6700k O.C.'d to 4.5Ghz on 1.29 volts while doing an Adia64 stress test being cooled by an H100i V2, also remember to wait for the loop temp to stabilize before looking at the temp.

standard clock, custom loop with and ek se 360 radiator. it was a stable temp at 55-56. i get the same results after running aida 64..

im very satisfied with how my loop ended up

now get to overclocking, no point in a loop that big to run at stock clocks.

i finished it 2 days ago xD, needed to play a few games on it before i started with that. but i will do that soon. any tips before i do it?

just watch for the point where you have to do a HUGE increase in voltage to get stable and drop back down to just under that, Like for me for example I am stable at 4.5 at 1.29 volts but for my chip to hit 4.6 and be stable I have to go to like 1.345 or some number like that, with that cooling you could probably handle the heat of a large voltage increase like that, but I prefer to stay just below the crazy voltage jump of like 0.05 volt increase.

okay, im just afraid to fuck up my cpu when overclocking..

as long as you don't go over 1.35v (possibly even up to 1.4v) you won't damage the CPU, remember to expect crashing when overclocking, it's part of learning how far you can go.

but crashes are nothing to worry about? i just remove the cmos battery and then everything will be reset and then i just start over? or is that how you do it?

if it crashes just jump right back into the BIOS and make adjustments. basically start at like 1.35 volts and 4.6 Ghz, see if it's stable, if it is and temps are good try for 4.7, if not then drop to 4.5. Basically see how high a clock you can get stable at 1.35 without exceeding temps you feel comfortable at (for me thats not exceeding mid 70's under stress test), then once you find the clock begin lowering the voltage till it becomes unstable then when it does bump the voltage back to the last stable point, you've got enough cooling capacity you should be fine to run 1.35 volts without being concerned with heat so you can go ahead and start there.

okay great  thank you for your help. May i contact you through PM if i have any further questions later on?

I can help where I can but i'm sure there are far more knowledgeable folks, I did my OCing on an Asus board so there BIOS setting are the ones i'm used to, I would assume terminology should be similar on the MSI bios
