Hello,
I read here that 1.45v is the max safest voltage for a 6700k. So I did so, and bumped my multiplier to 47 (4.7ghz) when I run aida64 extreme stability test, the max ghz I get is around 4.2ghz, and then with prime95 v26.6 I get a bit less than 4.5ghz. Although when I'm casually using the internet (writing this post for example) and idling, its speed is almost 4.7ghz (4.65-4.69) Why is this? Is it because my motherboard is protecting me from overheating? I have a hyper 212 evo. I hit 70 degrees max on both tests, so idk why it wouldn't go over 4.5ghz.
