6700k, MSI Krait Gaming 3x, 1080 FE, Kraken x52.

Keeping just under 70C running P95 26.6 Small FFTs for ~10 minutes. Highest temps are right after P95 starts, before my fans kick to 100%. Currently running 4.8GHz @ 1.350V. This is my first time ever truly trying to overclock properly. In the past I'd just throw up 4.8 @ 1.4 and call it a day, it ran fine and never crashed. I'm curious what the next step is? Do i bring voltage down and find minimum that 4.8 can handle without crashing during p95, or do i bump it to 4.9 and see what voltage works for that? Or do i just say this is good enough and move on with life.

Its up to you whether you want to stop there and dial in, or go balls to the wall and hit 4.9.

I would start dialing in, since I would be pretty satisfied with a 4.8ghz OC, but hey, to each their own right?

I'll see if i can get 4.9 stable under 1.4v. I was able to keep temps down at 1.46v before so i think just how comfortable my voltages are is the limit
