Hi all, new build recently completed. 6700K with a H100i v2 cooler. Initial overclock of 4.6ghz at 1.35V on a Viii ranger and have been reducing by .01V. Temps are easily less than <70C in ambient of 20C.

Currently stress testing with Realbench and is stable at 1.26V. Should I just keep reducing the voltage until is becomes unstable or is there is a minimum I should hit and just stick with?

Cheers

Stress test it with Intel Burn Test and run max memory setting. Only if it passes on that setting would I consider it stable. My 6700k was failing the test at anything lower than 1.30 with higher than level 1 vdroop on my asrock extreme4 board. I put the vcore to 1.30 and vdroop to level 1 and passed with temps at 70c. Sometimes your stable clock isn't so stable.
