Over Clocking 

[Question(s)] i5-6600k at 4.6Ghz ?

Hello, i recently defaulted the bios before a fresh new W10 install and i cant seem to remember exactly what my core was clocked to before. ( and no i didnt save a profile before defaulting, im stupid.)

I was wondering what volts you guys would recommend for a 4.6Ghz clock ?
Or should i maby aim a little higher ?


I also got a quick question about RAM clocking.
Ive got a set of these 4x4 Vengeance C13 DDR-4 and i have them set to 2133 via XMP profile at the moment.

Can i do something with them if so what do you suggest ?

Anyone could help me figuring this out ?

Why do you intend to overclock ?

We can't just recommend a voltage because every chip is very different from the next.
Chip A could probably do 4.6GHz at 1.31v, but another chip could do the same overclock at 1.25v.
You have to test to see what's stable, and what isn't.

I tried 4.6ghz at 1.3v.. It went ok. It seems that my CPU cooler is a bit to weak i ran up to 87© in AIDA stress test and turned it off. ATM i went with 4.5ghz and 1.265v and im landing at 74-77© so it feels a little more stable.
