Help overclocking Intel i7 2600K

[Subnated]

I wish to OC my 2600K to 4.1GHz (I may go higher, I just want to see how 4.1 will do) and doing it through the Asrock Extreme Tunning utility, but I'm not sure about the voltage settings?



I'm not sure if I should touch the voltage settings and even I need too, what should I set them to? Thanks for any help

And yes, before anyone asks, I am a noob at overclocking.

Open up cpuz and tell us what voltage its showing under prime/IBT/Linx load.

It looks like your using offset mode (Can't be sure, not used an asrock board with that bios) which is a little different to setting a standard manual vcore.

As I said though, see what cpuz says under load, let us know and we can take it from there, you should probably be able to get 4.1 stable at ~1.28v maybe less, maybe more, depends on your chip!

i'm on 4.6 with the 2600k but it's runs pretty hot.

Use prime as suggested or intel burn test to see what temps ur getting @ load
