Hello,
Potent Build Parts:
- CPU: Intel i7 6700k
- Cooling: Corsair H100i v2
- Memory: 16GB G.Skill Ripjaws 2133
- Motherboard: MSI XPOWER Titanium Edition
- Power Supply: Corsair HX1000i ATX Modular Platinum
- SSD: PNY 480GB 2.5" SATA 6.0Gb/s
- Video Card: XFX AMD R9 390 8GB DDR5
After I put my build together and has been working stable for around a week, I have decided to start overclocking the 6700k. The overclock setting I have been able to muster is 4.8GHz. I elected to leave adaptive cpu ratio on, as when running cinebench it correctly clocks up to the 48 multiplier and gets a 1035 on the cpu test.
The only issue I have is the voltage multipler. These more 'automatic bios settings' are confusing me a bit, so I elected to leave them on, as my motherboard has superb overclocking reviews. When running prime95 blend my cpu core sits at 70C with my h100i v2 on 100% fans (around 2700rpm). My voltage jumps to 1.51v. Is this too high? Since prime95 is a 'worst case scenario' am I ok to leave the automated settings, or should I lock the voltage? Or it my overclock too high for my system in general?
TLDR: My 6700k reaches 1.51v on adaptive cpu voltage during prime 95 blend test @ 4.8GHz. Is this safe?
