Intel i5-6600k 4.2ghz temps MSI z170a gaming m5

Xxmusic4lifeXx · Jan 4, 2017

Hey, I recently upgraded my whole rig, here is the upgrade: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Xxmusic4lifeX72/saved/cmzFf7

Anyways, I decided to do a slight OC to 4,2ghz from the stock 3.5ghz. After doing the processes, I used AIDA64, my vcore was staying at 1.232v out of the 1.250v I have it set at, and the cpu was staying around 57c. I then went over to Prime95 and CPU Core temp to do another test, and the highest it reached was about 64c on one core. Idle I stay around 30-34c overall. I just wanted to be sure that everything went smooth into the OC and nothing will break, thank you!

Not sure what your asking here but your temps are excellent as is you low Vcore. I would enjoy the OC and not stress things. This should be good for a long term OC. As for things breaking there are no guarantees with OCing.

just don't mess around with vcore if you don't have deep knowledge mate..., search for more detail if you planing on OC'ing just play safe and don't risk your investment.
anyway... your condition is ok right now just don't go over 1.35v with good air cooler, 1.45v with liquid cooler, and as long you didn't hit over 75C at full load you're save.

As stated above you don't want to go over 1.35v on an overclock and IMHO not over 1.3v for a long term 24/7 OC. He is correct on you should read some tutorials!

Thank you for the response! Yeah I watched a tutorial on my specific motherboard and cpu, knowing they are not all the same, but I did not want to go past a 4.2ghz clock with a 1.250v knowing the dangers if it crashed. I just wanted to have others to ask about what I did. Is there something else I should be checking to be sure everything went smooth?

just to ensure stability I would run intel burn test for at least 20 times on maximum. Again keeping an eye on your temps but besides that, no you are all good as far as I can tell.

atomicWAR :

here it is with about 15-18min, really late where I am and need to shut her down soon for work, but it was really consistent with these temps with no issue with crashing or freezing
