Question about Intel Core i5 6600K BOX

So it now runs at 4.3Ghz.

Hey

There is no direct answer to this question. It always depends on your system and the type and effectiveness of the cooling. But I think 4.4 Ghz might be a bit high.

I can recommend this link: http://extreme.pcgameshardware.de/overclocki...

It goes into detail about these processors and their overclocking options.

I just wanted to say that I brought my Intel Core i5 4690K (LGA 1150, 3.50GHz, Unlocked) devils canyon to 4.2 without any problems. More would be possible since it doesn't run too warm yet.

a little weak because it only has 4 threads. i clocked it with the brocen eco 2 to 4..2hz. but i will buy the 6700k because it has much more power. abr quite OK for beginners.

I have the same clocked at 4.6 Ghz with the corsair h100i aio water cooling I am idle at 25 degrees at 20 degrees room temperature and 45 degrees at the stress test. Everything runs stable

4.6 on the first go with DH-15 and Hero Board, so far 12h Prime95 torture without mishaps.

It is always important to be aware of factors such as LLC, etc. If you clock at a higher rate, you should always keep an eye on the vdroop, otherwise things can quickly go wrong at idle, since the higher voltage is present there (as long as the multi is still up) than under load. This is usually dangerous from 1.3V, which is necessary for load, for example, as 1.4V is then already present in idle.

4.4 @1.216V. Taking into account that every 100Mhz on average (with emphasis on average) needs about 50mV more, 4.6-4.7 should be possible up to an acceptable 1.35V for me. Of course, this varies from CPU to CPU, but so far I haven't met anyone in the forums who didn't manage 4.5. Of course, decent cooling is important so that the temperatures remain decent. It doesn't get any better in the summer :-)

Don't you lose quite a bit of fps when you have it at 4.3Ghz? Mine is at 4.0Ghz and that's quite enough.
