Can anyone recommend any settings to alter to get the 5000MHZ figure. I can managed 4960MHZ @1.44V

After some tweaking....5GHZ

Well crashed at 1.42v while install 3Dmark, so upped to 1.44V

I need to push more, probably 1.455V and I don't feel safe doing that. I'm impressed though. When I get to the physics test in 3Dmark, it runs it about halfway then crashes, that's why am sure if it give it more juice it will work.
 
Yeah dude, currently am running 4.8ghz at 1.35V fully stable. At 4.9ghz it needs 1.38V. I was just seeing how far I could push it. LLC is always set at 6.

The 110igtx is a awsome cooler mate, really the best I've had out of all the hydro series...I've had the h100i h100gt. The only problem I've found with it is if the fans spin up even on medium they are loud.

Nice. I take it the heat generated at 1.45v on SL is similar to the heat generated by haswell at 1.3v?

Because if it was haswell at 1.45v that would be a LOT of heat. :D

Yeah roughly...my 4790K at 4.9GHZ, at 1.38V if I remember right was producing similar heat. However skylake cpu's are not only effected by voltage, but by temps as well, or that's what am lead to believe.
 
Well I was happy with the stability I got, playing games, watching videos and realbench stress testing. I mean it's true, it's not really the best stability test, ideally need to stress test it in aida64 realbench for 24 hours. However I just wanted to see if I could hit the 5GHZ mark and actually have it so it's useable. I wouldn't leave my voltages that high and stress test for 24hours am more than happy at 4.8GHZ. I guess you can say it was a challenge I set myself. Plus I thought if I had invested in the components that I have, I might aswell push the limit slightly.

You're welcome :)

If it was me, I wouldn't be happy saying an overclock is stable just by booting, it needs to be stress tested.

I have done much more than boot fella. I have stress tested it, and carried out normal activities that I do on the computer. Have a look at the video. I agree however a much longer stability test is required before saying it's 100% stable.
 
Yeah precisely, that's why I have gone back to 4.8GHZ at 1.36V. Like I said previously am more than happy at this speed, and very unlikely to see significant gains with the extra 200MHZ, but it was just to find out how well my cpu does in the silicon lottery and also how good my setup is...eg motherboard, ram etc. I was never intending to go for 24/7 5GHZ overclock, as you say it will degrade much quicker. I can get 4.9GHZ at 1.38V and I refuse to have it set at that to keep the cpu healthy.

Realbench, Aida64 and XTU are my personal choice.
 
I said something that Am convinced by, and am not holding a gun to peoples head making them run 1.45V in there system! It's upto them whether they want to run 1.45V, and everyone should do there own research, just like I did, and I came across many reviewers and forums that have said 1.45V is the max safe value. If you want to contact asus and intel be my guest.

People have a brain and choice, and they have nobody to blame except them selves if they want just go off by what "I said".

Agreed maybe the wording could have been better.

With my setup, am also on ROG forum where Asus tech guys are active.

https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?81400-24-7-voltage-on-the-6700k&highlight=voltage+skylake

for me after reading through I have decided FOR ME 1.45V would be the max even though I wouldn't go that high personally.

p4Clock whats wrong with you? Are you the kind of person that just picks fights from behind a keyboard because your upset someone can achieve something? I didn't pull it out of my arse saying I made it up. These are links that all say 1.45V, so stop saying am making it up

I didn't disable the turbo boost when I was aiming for 5GHZ, I just set it to manual in the bios, set my volts, altered the ratio and BCK. Am sure I could have it much more stable if I had spent more times and tweaking here and there however 1.44V was my limit and I didn't want to go any higher or have it run for an extended amount of time at these voltages. I have read having 1.44-1.45V is fine as long as you're just gaming and not stress testing or constantly putting it under heavy loads; however there isn't much difference between 4.9GHZ and 5GHZ tbh, although it did feel very snappy at 5GHZ. I have it set at 4.8GHZ at 1.34V and more than happy with it.

AFAIK for Skylake 1.35v is the max if you are worried about prematurely shortening CPU lifespan and 1.45v absolute max for where it "should" work as intended but you will shorten the lifespan of the CPU by a non-negligible amount and/or could run into other issues (though how much will depend on a lot of factors).

Generally Intel CPUs can take a fair beating core voltage wise its some of the other voltages, especially VTT, that seem to kill them when set too high especially when combined with insufficient cooling.

Would it also effect the life-span of the cpu if it is left on automatic mode in bios? I noticed when I first got it (LLC also on auto) the cpu was hitting 1.46V and that was on stock 4GHZ TB 4.2GHZ. So that split second where it does go upto 1.46V will that have any impact?

How is the pump noise on your 110i gtx at idle?

I had to return my 110i gtx the day after I bought it. At idle speeds where my fans are configured to go to the lowest RPM, the loudest thing in my case was the h110i gtx pump. Really annoying when watching a movie, or doing any kind of desktop work.

Pump noise benchmarked in a review:

To be honest I haven't ever had noise pump issues. I have it set in push/pull configuration. Am using 2 sp140, and the other 2 are the stock ones. The stock fans are ridiculously loud in any other profile apart from quiet. Due to my graphics cards blowing a lot of heat, sometimes in gaming the fans start revving like a car, they rev for about 6 seconds, going high and quiet then settle at 1800rpm. It's become so annoying due to the noise that I have disconnected them. I may buy 2 sp140 quiet editions and remove the originals.

When I had issue with my Maximus vii extreme I video's it and I was using H110iGTX, ...

cant hear the pump unless am confusing the noise with something else

Tbh I've always been under the impression 1.45V was the max for skylake after reading many posts reviews etc.

Some cracking number Crinkleshoes....I wanted to go watercooling but unfortunately decided after I bought my components and they don't make a waterblock for my GPU's and am not willing to change them since I actually do love them they are awesome but would like to reduce the overall heat inside my case. max I get while gaming is 53 degrees with ambient temps of 24ish
 
@wam7

Yeah I guess what goes around comes around even though I proved I wasn't lying on a few occasions. I don't know what his problem is.

Regarding the watercooling I'm actually happy with the H110igtx, if I decide to go watercooling I'd rather go the whole way graphics card cpu and chipset (Asus maximus viii formula). The swiftech stuff does look much better than the corsair AIO tbh, plus the customisation aspect!!!

@crinkleshoes

Sweet dude, I wish I could get my pc to be silent...It isn't loud but it isn't silent. It doesn't really effect me as I wear gaming headphones but there is always something to complain about hehe.

@illogic

That's probably the best cpu I have come across! post some benchmark scores dude!
 
@wam7

It certainly looks that way mate, doesn't do his credibility any good.

Yeah, I think that's what attracted me to AIO just the simplicity of installing to forgetting to a point.

Maybe I have come to be accustom to the noise pump because I actually cant hear it, unless am very lucky to get a quite one, or I'd realise how loud it is if I got a MCP30 pump. Am not really an expert with watercooling, I did but my first watercooling system when I was 16 and didn't touch it again. It has come a long way since then! I had a watercooled 4600+ AMD on a Epox motherboard lol.

I think id be concerned mainly about picking the wrong rad size or fitment, everything else will be simple. Also I'd like to go down the acrylic route but I think that's for the experienced watercoolers tbh. Its weird OcUK don't stock these though.

@crinkleshoes

so many people use the Noctua fans, makes me think am missing out!
