Hello people,

I have managed to get my i7 6700K to 4.6ghz at a voltage of 1.385v. Not the greatest but any lower voltage makes it fail the RealBench test. With temps of 27ish idle and 73ish max load using a H115i.

I have tried 4.7ghz on that voltage but to no avail. Even going up .1v at a time all the way to 1.45v.

It may be that that's what my chip can do and that's that. Just to clarify, these are my settings with XMP on:

The settings on there are from an attempt at 4.7. No luck as stated above. What other possible settings may help in this circumstance?

If this is all my chip can do then fair enough. It's a lottery after all.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Ah, I guess I could give that a try. Thanks for the reply.

I was lucky with my i7 3770K which managed an overclock all the way to 4.5ghz @ 1.380v. Great chip.

Might not be so lucky with this one. But I'll try what you have suggested. Any settings from my images you would change?

Thanks.
