6700K OC advice

[BuildToLast]

Dear fellow clockers,

 

I bought a new Gaming rig about 4 months ago and thought about OCing it for quite some time. I got as far as going to 4.6ghz at around 73 degrees while running aida64 full load on the package. I was wondering, I am using a custom loop made by EKWB because I wanted to overclock in the future. I got a 360mm rad for both my 1070 GPU which is not OCd yet, and my 6700k which is running stable on 4.6ghz at around 1.330 vcore. Can I get anymore juice out of it, because when I go to 4,7ghz it wants me to go towards the 1.360vcore which makes my temps go around 90ish..

 

What are my options, I could fit another 240mm rad in my case but I dont know if its a big advantage or delidding is an option since I see people get 20 degrees off their CPU.

 

Im running a Asus Z170 - Pro motherboard with it. 

 

If you would like to know my full hardware list of the PC please let me know!

if you are okay with risking your CPU, delidding is an option, but I'd save it as a last resort.

if you can add another rad to your loop, it should definitely improve temps, especially if you want to OC your GPU in the future.

Delidding would help, But you will void your warranty, risk damage to your CPU and have to reapply paste every 2 years or so (for best possible temps)

Keep it 4.6 ghz or delid and take the risk to kill ur cpu but the performance gain ffrom 4.6 to 4.7 is not noticeable with human eye so I don't see why you don't just keep ur setup like it is seems just perfect.

Do you think there will be a big diffrence in temps after adding the 2nd rad? Because I feel like its only a minor diffrence..

yes, there will be a noticeable difference for sure. I'd say it's necessary to add a second rad if you want to OC your GPU in the future really high.
