Hi guys, I am having tons of fun overclocking my i5 6600k, I have a mini-itx build and am using a Corsair GTX 100i Water cooler and wanted to get the most out of my system, using the ASUS z170i Pro gaming.
My :auto: OC was clocked at 4.5, voltage 1.320
When it tried to auto oc at 4.6, voltage would not really go up automatically so it crashed. then i changed the voltage to MANUAL and changed the voltage to 1.370 and am now stable at 4.6.
I read that the max safe voltage is 1.52 but that sounds pretty darn high, even for water cooling, So..
Im going to be trying 4.7 at 1.42 because at 1.4, 4.7 it is crashing and freezing a bit after logging into windows.
I wanted to ask, with 1.52 being rated at max safe voltage and some OC forums recomending max oc voltage between 1.4 and 1.45, so i guess 1.42 should pretty much PERFECTLY safe, right..
My question is, what do you guys think of absolute safety and also, WHAT ARE THE DANGERS IN SKYLAKE by upping the voltage to 1.42-1.43, are high temperatures the only danger, shouldn't it auto turn off or something before it can be harmed especially when that far from the official intel 1.52Ç
Thanks again¡
