Hi,
I've just replaced most of the components from my AMD rig and made the move to glorious Intel! I've never overclocked before and decided I was going to give it a try this time around. I'll provide the spec first:
i7 6700k
Maximus VIII Hero[/code]
16GB Corsair LPX DDR4 PC4-25600C16
850W EVGA Gold 2
Corsaiir H110 (with 2 x Noctua NF-A14 on rad)
Gigabyte 980ti Xtreme Gaming
Phanteks Enthoo Luxe
2 x 140mm Phanteks fans, 1 intake at front/1 exhaust at rear
I've overclocked using the auto tuning function from the BIOS and I appear to have a stable 4.6 overclock. However, from my research I appear to have a couple of issues after looking at CPUID HWMonitor and AIDA64:
1) My CPU temps under load seem to max out around 70c, reading around it would seem that I probably shouldn't be getting that high (this was when using Realbench stress test). Is this correct? This is what I'm taking from the package temp.
2) My VCORE seems to have maxed out at around 1.392V which I again understand is too high?
3) My 3.3V voltage value is 3.312. I again seem to get the indication that's not right.
Any guidance would be appreciated!
EDIT: Okay, so the temps seem to not be an issue. I had seen others commenting elsewhere that 6700Ks shouldn't be pushing much beyond 50s-60s under load. Of course, when you've read roughly a billion different discussions it can sometimes be tough to keep up
Thanks for replies guys. Anyone else who can pitch in regarding points 2 and 3, I'd be grateful!
