So I was recently just browsing through some overclock results that other people had with the 6600k because I was curious what clocks they were getting with what voltage. In doing this I ran an aida 64 test at 4.5ghz and discovered I was nowhere near the 1.35v I had set. It was actually around 1.15v. So I decided to see what I could do with the extra amount that wasn't being used. I have managed to get to 4.7ghz while only using 1.18v. IDK if I am just doing this all wrong or if I am apparently the luckiest guy with a 6600k. I would love some thoughts from someone on this. Should I continue going up to try for 5ghz or just keep the 4.7 and lower the voltage a little to match that is being used?
