Safe vcore for 6600k?

[Intel HD Graphics]

What would you guys say is the highest i can go on the vcore without causing any damage ?

( i have z260 k6 gaming motherboard from asrock )

So, pretty much, nothing above 1.5 ?

I wouldn't risk it.

What did Linus say in his Skylake overclocking video? Something like don't go above 1.35 for daily use.

My 6600k doesent go above 4.4 ghz, i have even tried putting the 6600k 4.6ghz @ 1.4 and it  still bsod when stressed. Any ideas??

My 6600k goes to 4.6ghz on 1.25v but that's a extremely good overclock owing to the silicon lottery. You'res at 4.4ghz is a much more common overclock and is again down to the silicon lottery. If you can't push beyond 4.4ghz that's just the luck of the draw and you can't go beyond that by increasing voltages unless  you're doing LN2 cooling.

Did you touch anything like the cashe or did you only change the multiplier and voltage ?

@DELTAprime Just realised i had power saving mode on on the c states, now i can diable turbo. Does this mean i can get a higher oc?

You shouldn't be touching anything other than multiplier and vcore unless you know what you're doing. Really, just stick to 4.4ghz. As I said I got to 4.6ghz but that was completely down to the silicon lottery. 4.4ghz is normal, no need to cause an early death to your CPU by pushing a ton of voltage through it chasing a mear 200mhz more.

 

And yes I only had to touch the multiplier and vcore. Like I said, silicon lottery.

There are 2 ways i can set it to 4.4, by the preset or by me doing it manually. Will there be any difference in the two ?

Manually is normally better as you can manually dial in your overclock to use the lowest stable voltage. What I do is set the multiplier then start at 1.20v and increase in .01v increments till it boots into Windows. Once into Windows use the PC as normal until it crashes and increase the voltage again by .01v. I'm a big believer in having the lowest possible voltage because the CPU or whatever it is you're overclocking will run cooler.

@DELTAprime I can reach 4.6 stable on preset but not my me doing it manual. I think this has to do ith the fact the the preset lowers the cpu cashe from 46 multiplier that i would put in and and put it down to 39

I'm not familiar with ASrock's presets so I'm not sure what they are doing.
