I just got my 6600k a few weeks back. and overclocking it something seems off. I seriously doubt I won the ultimate silicon lottery with this thing, but my results was: I was able to get 4.5 stable at 1.14 v with it jumping to 1.15v for brief second or so every now and then. I can even push 4.6 out of it at the same voltage, just not stable over 15-20 minutes. Does this sound correct to anyone else? Looking around online it seems people breaking the 4.2-4.3 barrier takes a slight overvolt to achieve it. All readings I got was from cpu-z and the bios. Just seems fishy to me, like my MB isnt reporting it correctly? Or am I just being paranoid. -We don't control what happens to us in life, but we control how we respond to what happens in life. -Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times. -G.

as long as you dont go over 1,3v vcore you are fine (1,3v is already heavy, but needed for ~4,8ghz on most cpus) 1.14-1.15v for 4,5ghz is awesome. bad 6600k cpus would even need 1,2-1,25v for 4,5ghz

yea, just seems a bit shady to me that is what its reporting as the voltage. Whats strange is its stable, and lists 4.5 as the speed. but the bench results are horrible. I know the CPUZ stress test isnt the most accurate, but its saying Im 1/4 the speed of a 6700k? If i put it back to stock I get BETTER results compared to 6700. It's like its not using all its power due to not enough voltage, but it isnt crashing, or throttle due to heat. I can run hyper pi for hours. Just that result seems really odd. Overclocking makes my results worse.. -We don't control what happens to us in life, but we control how we respond to what happens in life. -Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times. -G.

Ok....rebooting and changing it from 4.5 to 4.4 gives me this: Im completely lost as to why. -We don't control what happens to us in life, but we control how we respond to what happens in life. -Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times. -G.

dxwarlock run cinebench the cpu z bench is off on most things where cinebench is reliable cpu z is giving totall wrong numbers for my I7 5960x no matter if oc'ed or stock boosted where cinebench is giving the right results lol in cpu z i lose almost a 1000points when running my mem @ 3200mhz where i gain a load in cinebench and also you might need more agent voltage finding a stable oc can be a pain but just like with the 5960x just stay below 1.25v and your fine Case: Nanoxia Deep Silence 6 (Black) \| MB: Msi X99A Gaming 9 \| CPU: i7 5960x CPU Cooling(temp): Corsair 110i Gtx \| PSU: Evga Supernova 1000w \| GPU: Gigabyte G1 Gaming 980ti 6gb \| RAM: 16gb Ripjaws 4 3200mhz \| Screen: Asus MG279Q / LG 23" Ips

Yea cinebench seems more stable.. 700ish for it. Also maybe its windows 10, but balanced vs performance in windows power settings I figured out makes a BIG difference not sure why. Didn't do that on windows 7. Balanced is almost as bad as having it on power saver now. Only downside is on performance the multiplier doesn't drop from 45 even on low load . Oh well. -We don't control what happens to us in life, but we control how we respond to what happens in life. -Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times. -G.

Turn off Speedstep (EIST) in BIOS, and set 'high performance' in Windows - check min/max processor state is 100%. CPU will run max 24/7 of course, and why not?, unless you're a 'green' junkie? Recommended for clocking anyway. In fact, if I use the 'auto' clocking method on my board, it's the first thing it disables from the off
