Good Evening,

So I like to play around with my 6700k and typically do a happy small overclock of 4.6 ghz at 1.3v. Now, I've taking it to 5 ghz at 1.42v before, but didn't want to take it any further without asking the people I trust on Tom's for some advice...

I'm not planning to run it 24/7 on this voltage/overclock, but what voltage would be the max for my chip...? I'd like to see how far I can push it past 5 ghz...

My specs are...

i7 6700k (4.6 Ghz OC)
Corsair H110I Extreme
Asus Hero Alpha
16 gig G skill trident 3200 Ram
1080 Strix ROG (2126 OC)
Some SSDs
1000 watt Roswell PSU
A boat ton of fans
A nice thermaltake case for the boat ton of fans... :)
Some pretty RGB lights for the thermaltake case with the boat load of fans! :)

Thanks guys... I think I'll have to accept the max on my chip of 5.0 ghz since I don't think I could go much higher on the voltage... Cooling is not a problem but burning up my chip would be...

I think 5 ghz is a respectable speed anyhow... Though I'll stick with 4.6 at 1.3 for longevity purposes... :)
