Hi guys

I have a 6700k on a Asus Z170 Gaming Pro with 16GB Ram. The cooler is a Noctua NH-D14.

Now i have it at x45 and Vcore Adaptive 1.290 that gives me 1.315 at full load.

When testing with Intel Burn Test 2.54, 10 loops in Very High i see that the max temperature in three cores was 83 degrees. I think it is high for the voltage i have. I have also Vccio at 1.10. Is better in auto?

Any ideas?

I copied and pasted this from another post I did as it is a lot to type




Skylake can handle voltages up to like 1.4ish. The max for me would be 1.35v. Thats kinda hypocritical because i run my haswell chip at 1.432v but oh well.

So to start overclocking you will need Hwmonitor, OCCT, XTU, and CPU Z. Once you have those installed you can start overclocking.

Go into the bios and set the core voltage to manual and set 1.0v, next set the multiplier to 35x
Now boot into windows and stress test in XTU for 5 minutes. If it passes, go into the bios and set the multiplier to 36x. If it fails, add 0.025v to the core.

Now boot into windows with 36x and stress test again. Make sure to keep your temps under 75c max. I try to keep mine under 70...

Now boot into windows with 36x and stress test again. Make sure to keep your temps under 75c max. I try to keep mine under 70 but im also on a closed loop.

As long as you pass stress tests and your temps are alright, keep upping the multiplier. Once the system is unstable, add 0.025v to the core until stable again.

Rinse and repeat until you have your desired/ max overclock. Once you are at your desired/max, go into OCCT and stress test infinite for about 15-30 minutes and watch your temps because OCCT puts out alot of heat. If it passes OCCT then you are good. If it doesnt. Add voltage to make it stable and test again if your temps allow.


Hope that Helps. Cant wait to see your results!

Is your case airflow good?

what are your ambient temps?

Might want to check your mount on cooler.

Just ran same test, ambient temp 22c - 6600k at 4.5 - vcore 1.328 - NH-15S my cpu temp was 64c. Your 6700k will run a bit hotter due to hyper threading, than my 6600k.

83c is too hot for my tastes, but is well within the thermal limit for that cpu.

An IBT run will be way hotter than your likely to see in real world use.
