so i decided to overclock my i5 6600k today and i have achieved some very impressive numbers with fairly low temperatures.
i have tested the overclock with intelburntest and it seems very stable. i am currently clocked at 4.5ghz with 1.265 vcore, however i have yet to see the vcore go over 1.252v. also, my temps under load reached 58c maximum, while my idle temps are around 30c. i am a little puzzled though because i have an evo 212 and i thought it would run a lot hotter at these clocks but it isnt. is 1.265 vcore good for 4.5ghz? or should i try lowering it more, i tested 4.2 ghz at 1.25 vcore and my stability test failed so i bumped it to 1.265 and got all the way up to 4.5 ghz. will this overclock decrease the life of my cpu substantially or is it safe? i want the cpu to last 2 years since i will likely need an upgrade by then.
