Hey guys ,

I have 6600k with a Corsair H105 water cooler where I took off the fans and replaced with NOCTUA Industrial 3000 RPM .

Im doing at the moment the 4.6 Ghz stress test which in the last 30min stable and my max temp 72 C and the avarage is 59-61C

Im on 1.258-1.270 V at the moment

You guys think I should stop or I can try 4.7 ? or that 72 max C is to much ?

Thanks for the help this is my first OC

4.6 ghz at 1.27v is pretty good. If you're looking at a 24/7 overclock, I probably wouldn't push it anymore since you're at 72C. Besides, there isn't much left to be gained with another couple hundred mhz. If you just wanted to see what your chip could do, you could push your vcore up to 1.4, but you will really have to watch the temps.

Whats the max safe temp 80C? Thanks for your answer btw

Meanwhile I went to shop for 2 hours and when I came home the PC was off ( maybe the windows turned off to saver mode or something ) and when I moved the mouse started to continue Prime 95 Looks like did not crashed meanwhile .

Im did adaptive +100 Offset before now I try Adaptive +75

Im not sure exactly whats the difference and why I can not give in a fix voltage number I just watched the TEAM EVGA how to oc on EVGA board and I just did what they sad .

Adaptive + 100 Offset sounds right ?

Your CPU will thermal throttle at 100C, so even running at 80C isn't likely to cause any harm. I just like to leave a little margin to allow for high ambient air temps, cooler getting dirty, etc. Don't know about your adaptive setting, one of those things you just have to experiment with to see what works in your particular case.
