At it's limits?

[MrBaker89]

Afternoon Guys!

 

Decided to overclock my I5 6600k some more ( either that  or go shopping with the mrs lol)

 

So I managed to get it stable at a mild 4.6ghz at 1.248 vcore

 

Am I at it's limits or is there abit more wiggle room?

 

BTW Temps are only hitting 60 degrees Celcius on aida64 cpu stress test.

try it very slowly

[TrigrH]

you can get more clock speed if you use a higher voltage.

You wont know until you try. Just keep dialing up the mhz up by 100 or so until you get instability, then add some voltage until its stable. Stop when you can't get it stable with 1.3v or you reach your temperature limits, whichever comes first (Running at or above 85 in real applications, not synthetic)

What cpu cooler?

 

Seems pretty good, you could still probably push it further tbh.

Well third attempt at 4.8ghz vcore set too 1.320v hopefully this doesn't crash on aida64

40 minute stress test on aida64 ( i'll leave it over night tonight) seems to be stable vcore at 1.336v and max temp hit was 67°c

Run some benchmarks. Sometimes they tickle stuff and crash that certain stresses wont.

 

XTU and CB R15 are good. Maybe wPrime 1024M + SuperPi 32M too.

I'll try xtu see what I get with that
