Hey All, Just curious what's the max you've pushed the i5 6600k with the Hyper 212 cooler and still have safe temps? Right now I'm leaning towards 4.3 since I still have the stock case fan. I do plan on upgrading later. Let me know what all setups you are running and what you've safely pushed. Thanks!

I managed to get mine to 4.5 Ghz. It depends on the chip, mobo, and memory's capabilities, as well as the cooling solution.

CPU: Core i5-6600k
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Motherboard: MSI Z170-A-G45 Gaming
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Elite 16GB (8GBx2) DDR4 2666

I was able to make it all the way up to 4.8 before I got the BSoD. Not to bad at all. I did end up leaving it at the 4.3 just for good reliable power. More than happy with how it performs. I just came from the amd 6300 4.3 and the gtx 750 ti sc, so biiiiig difference. Lol.
