Intel 6600k Overclocking Suggestion

[P10N33R]

Today i decided to Overclock My 6600k. I wanted to Overclock it at 4.5Ghz but i tried and it didnt boot even at 1.35V. So i though to overclock it at 4.4Ghz and it finally booted at 1.3V later i tried to lower the voltages at i managed it to run around 1.245V but it runs at 1.264V. 4.5Ghz got booted at 1.27V but it failed the AIDA64 stress test.

 

My PC Specs:

 

Intel 6600k

Asus Z170 Pro Gaming

Coolermaster 212X

G.Skill TridentZ 8x2 3000Mhz 16GB

Adata SP550 240GB SSD

 

Please look at my settings and stress test results and correct me if i am going wrong anywhere. This is my first time overclocking a CPU so i am scared to damage it  That is why i am posting this for Suggestions  

 

Here are screenshot/pic of my BIOS Settings and Stress Test Results.

AIDA64 Results:
 

4.5Ghz Failure

 

4.4Ghz Results

Do not overclock if you want your CPU to be a live. get atleast AIO cooler.

Don't listen to him. You don't need a silly AIO cooler to keep a CPU in normal temperature range. Your max temperatures were fine. Maybe a bit warm since AIDA is not a demanding test but cooling is not the problem. You just lost the silicon lottery. There's nothing you can do about it. I suggest you get 4.4 with lowest voltage possible and be satisfied with it.

Ok thanks for the reply i'll stick to 4.4 OC but I got BSOD couple of times so can you please suggest a good minimum voltage number? I think my current voltage was too low for the OC xD. Is 1

27 good for a 4.4Ghz OC?

Well voltage is not something you can guess. Go higher until you can boot and pass a quick stress test. For example i have the same cpu and i can boot at 1.192 on 4.5 but it's not stable, i can boot 1.28 on 4.8 but also not stable. So being able to boot is just the basic tell it's beginning to get somewhere. 1.3v for 4.4 is generally considered not very good but like i said, we can't do anything about it. 

I noticed your XMP is turned on. If you have extra time, revert bios to default and don't touch anything but the cpu. The xmp could be making the cpu OC unstable. So without XMP push the cpu as far as it can go, then dial it 1 step back and start working on the ram separately. My XMP doesn't even boot for example, my ram sticks turned out bleh

Ohh will do what you said thanks for the guidance
