Hi I have just Build my first gaming PC Specs are as follows

Core i5 6600k
Zotac Gtx 1060 mini
Corsair CS750 PSU
Gigabyte GA-Z170N-WIFI
NZXT Manta Case
Deepcool Captain 240 Cooler (120mm dual fan rad)
3 Corsair AF120 Performance edition fans
1 250Gb SSD and 1Tb WD HDD

The issue im having is that my radiator fans (intakes) keep cutting out even while running on full load, my rooms temptation is at around 20-22c and on idling the i5 idles at 20, and on full load (with Aida64) hovers at 32-35, My i5 is running stock and all 3 Corsair AF120 fans are set to exhaust and only the radiators are set as intakes
Should i be worried? Ive tried using SpeedFan but i cannot control the fans nor do they show up in the application. Sometimes while gaming one fan of the radiator will come on
all my fans are running all very low rpms and the pc is super silent

That's a lot of fans just for an i5. As long as you don't go above 55-60, you should be good. Nothing to worry about. You are pushing a lot of air to that CPU, so cooling down is to be expected. Nothing to worry about.

Honestly, a ftermarket cooler would have been just fine. I have a Hyper 212 EVO and mine is overclocked to 4.4GHz. It never goes above 55 C, even on full load.

Since you have a 6600K, I would leave the voltage alone and bump the multipler to 44. If you are not doing anything extreme, you will have a stabled system. What do you do with it? Game? Video editing?

Agree I would start OCing without any voltage hikes. Run prime95 or whatever you like to do your stress testing. Once you find out where it bombs then back it down one multiplier then test again. If the OC is high enough stop otherwise its time to do small incremental voltage hikes and bump the multiplier up one. Once you think you have it nailed I would run a long multi-hour stress test to make sure its rock stable.
