Hello all!
I currently have a core i5 6600K on an ASUS Z170 Pro (with last BIOS version), I have overclocked my cpu to 4.8GHz with a vcore of 1.40V (I have tried 1.35V and it works too) and everything seems to be normal, Windows boots without a problem and I can use the computer to surf the internet and play some games like Age of Empires II without freezings or restarts.
My question is: Should I keep the 1.40V or roll back to 1.35V? I have tried to run Prime95 and when I start the blend test, 3 workers (cores) fails when initiates the test but the first worker test keeps running, the only problem I have found is that the cpu temp. reaches 78ºC-80ºC. If I stress the cpu with CPU-Z, I get all four cores running at 4.8GHz but the temps. keeps on 62ºC maximum.
On Idle time, the cpu keeps 22ºC, which is good, because I am using a 360mm radiator to cool down.
So, what are your thoughts guys?
