Hi, I'm currently in the process of overclocking my i5-6600k. I have read a lot about overclocking skylake processors and the max vcore I see is between 1.35v and 1.45v.

My question is : If my temperature are fine on a stress test with 1.45v with a Noctua Nh-D15, is 1.45v ok ?

Thanks !

4.7ghz and 4.8ghz might be beyond your air cooler or on its limits

i would aim for 4.5/4.6ghz and see temps then decide and my personal choice would be 1.4v max

but i was happy at 4.7ghz at 1.35v another 100/200mhz didnt seem worth the extra voltage it would take to me

I was hoping for 4.7ghz or 4.8ghz. I just started overcloking and I am stable at 4.4ghz, 1.35v and 60 degrees using the stress test x264 from Overclockers.net
