Getting 2600k to 5Ghz

benjo · 23 Oct 2016 at 16:21

At the moment I've got my 2600K booting into windows and benchmarking at 4.9GHz. 100x49 with 1.36v (CPUz). Temps are maxing out at 65c on air.

Obviously 4.9GHz is great, but I feel like it could do 5Ghz with the correct voltages.

The settings I'm using at the moment:

CPU Offset Voltage 0.015v
Additional Turbo Voltage 0.043v
VTT Auto
PCH Auto
PLL Auto
PLL Overvoltaged Enabed
VCCSA Auto

C1E Auto
C3 Disabled
C6 Disabled

Well I upped the Offset Voltage and now my vcore in windows is 1.392v @ 5GHz, running some stress tests now.

Not a bad results but not an overclock for everyday...

vcore too high?

thats fine sandy is good upto 1.4v easy on air and 1.5v on water, but they do degrade a bit at 1.5v
