hi folks,

I got a question.

I want to do some simple overclocking on my i5 6600K 3.5GHz to 4.2 and I am curious to know do I have to change the voltage too or do I only have to change it if I crash?
 
Solution
The average 6600K will run at 4.2GHz at 1.2v. You should switch the CPU voltage to either Manual or Adaptive and put the value at 1.200v. The Auto setting will likely over-volt it.
