6700K users..Share your speed

[Ah_Yong]

I am not familiar with the potential of 6700K cpus, hope can find more knowledge here from bros on how far I can push.

I start off with mine. Cooled with H80i

 

[arcana75]

What are your temps?

 

[Ah_Yong]

What are your temps?

with aircon turned off.

 

[kaixax555]

with aircon turned off.

Any temps at full load running AIDA64 or Prime95?

 

[Ah_Yong]

Any temps at full load running AIDA64 or Prime95?

Tried running Prime95 at 100% full load, each core is about 95C

Tried running Prime95 at 100% full load, each core is about 95C

cannot, pls lower ur voltage n clock, that's dam bad for long term

Tried running Prime95 at 100% full load, each core is about 95C

Something is not right.... my 3570K with H80i is running 4.3ghz on auto voltage.... peak stress test temp at 80degs. idle at 40-42deg. No aircon in house haha.

try with OCCT

I think the latest Prime95 quite problematic

For skylake <1.4v is save and quite common to see clocks around 4.5-4.7. golden chips top out at 4.8-5.0 ghz

Sent from Huawei NEXUS 6P using GAGT

 

[DJSnip3r]

Using H100i
But my clock speed and Vcore is very jumpy

Spoiler

Current Prime95 versions are causing CPUs reaching these temps, not surprised by it.

After spending one week tweaking my 6700K, best softwares to use IMO are RealBench and x264, with 12 hour runs on both. At 4.6Ghz, Lowest Voltage I achieved was 1.28V @ 69 degrees max.

Ya current Prime95 can hit high temps now

I suggest something like OCCT

 

[arcana75]

Actually I damn noob. I using Asus Z170i mb and have no idea how to oc the way you did by increasing the multiplier and leave the bus speed alone. In the BIOS I can find only the option to change the BCLK value, which while does increase CPU speed, it lowers my 2666Mhz ram to weird numbers like 25xx mhz...

Haha, OCCT gave me alot of errors at my voltage, but during gaming, perfectly fine . But yeah, if people want to have a super stable OC CPU, I'd agree, OCCT is highly recommended.

Did you enable X.M.P. when overclocking?

 

[arcana75]

Did you enable X.M.P. when overclocking?

Yes I did. Does that prevent OC?

Also, if I use the Asus AI Suite, the Dual Intelligent Processors app, I set:

BCLK 100Mhz
Ratio 44
CPU Cache Ratio (what is this?) 44X

And I get 4400Mhz CPU Frequency, but my DRAM frequency is 2394.6Mhz, and I can't find an option to turn on XMP. My RAM is supposed to be 2666 Mhz. Also the CPU Core Voltage auto-increased to vary from 1.36V to 1.45V. The CPU Frequency reported will keep jumping from 4400Mhz to 800Mhz, why is that?

 

[koicafex]

xmp is to overclock your ram...

im too lazy to play with overclock
just press gaming mode...auto OC to 4.4

because 1-click auto-overclock is bad and only a marketing gimmick .... thats why your voltage (and possible temperature too) ventured into the unsafe zone ......
because the motherboard 1-click auto overclock only know it must accomplish mission for the owner which is to hit target clockspeed or as high as possible ... it does not understand what voltage or temperature is unsafe

Yah... finally figured out how to use the Asus AI program, press optimise and gave me 4700Mhz oc

But DRAM Freq still show 2392.3Mhz

Oc very easy ma.. dont touch bclk. Thats only for those non k cpu on older bios to use. Just change multiplier to example 45 and core voltage to about 1.32 and test. Xmp enable will set your ram to its advertised speed. For mine, xmp enabled..my ram speed become 3200mhz

Do all of this in bios and not those software on the desktop.

 

[DJSnip3r]

Moi got question, if bios set 1.32v cpu-z shows voltage fluctuating between 1.28v to 1.328v, but stress test on intel xtu is stable at 1.296v, means can lower the voltage somemore? Or cpu-z not so zhun?
