6700K OC (Voltage)

Loxa · 27 Jan 2016 at 15:19

Anyone heard any news about the max safe voltage for the 6700K, i recon i could get 4.8Ghz stable at 1.375V but that would jump to around 1.390v+ with adaptive mode enabled.

----------------------------------------------------------------

From what i have seen it seems Intel said 1.52V :s

As long as temps are good I'd stick to a max of 1.4v. I'm running 1.375v on my 6600k.

Only thing i am not 100% comfortable with is the extra voltage Adaptive Mode adds.

See what it increases to on load. I've got LLC control on high so mine pretty much doesn't move from 1.375v

Unfortunately on my MSI motherboard LLC is pretty useless as it has auto or mode 1 and mode 1 really does not seem to do anything.

Just monitor it under load. A couple of minutes won't hurt (some people are running then at 1.45v anyway).

i use 1.35 on my 6600k, i just got an 6400 for the boy and i think 1.35 will be the most i try it on. temps on my chip are fine under normal load(game)
i cant see you having a problem with an extra 0.04v

i have the same board its poo for overclocking but tbf its a gaming board not an overclocking board.

Atm i am at 4.6Ghz with 1.320V and an offset of -0.020, i use the offset because while using adaptive mode it knocks my voltage under load up by about 0.028v

tbf i would be happy with that speed at that voltage
what sort of temps do you see

While my PC was idle it BSOD'ed, i think the offset is taking to much voltage as i was only attempting to use it for the over voltage from adaptive mode.

Adaptive no need just use fixed.

1.4 is about max on ambient.

That is a decent CPU, what memory and cache speeds???

after delidding my 6600k, I run mine @ 4.8ghz with 1.4 volts - temps only reach about 55 degrees on corsair h100. Dials down on idle though
