Vcore opinions for skylake

>>55446872
I thought 1.4 was the limit.
I'm at 1.34 for 4.6
I might be able to go lower, but it's stable and I got tired of rebooting 12 times.

Apparently an Intel doc says 1.52V and 72C is safe. However it is common for people to suggest staying below 1.4V, and on a 212 evo, you'll definitely hit 72 before 1.4V.

And peaking above 72 is alright, but you don't want it to sit at ~80C for hours while you are gaming or rendering projects, so make sure to test in scenarios you actually plan on using the processor with, not just in benchmarking tool/torture tests

It looks like the average vcore for 6600k @4.6 is close to 1.35 and this tends to be near the upper limit for acceptable temps on air cooling. So you might want to just start here to test the temp, then lower the vcore until you get unstable (instead of slowly working your way up from stock).

are you watercooled? mine isn't stable at 1.350v at 4.4ghz

>>55447413
also idk if it's autoclocking down during prime95 or ibt because max it hits at 1.35v is 63c

>>55447481
What are your ambient and idle temps?

>>55448160
33-37c

>>55446872
Am I the only one who thought you were asking about a Q6600 instead of a 6600k?

>>55447413
No it's on a low-pro cooler also.
63 is great for p95
Do you have all cores enabled?

>>55447413

4.5 Ghz at 1.368 core voltage

I just left my bios on auto voltage adjust and bumped my multiplier to 45.

all cores should be enabled it runs 4 workers when i set it, i'll remeasure temps in a sec

>>55450004
how'd you get 1.368 it will let me do 1.370 but not change it to 1.371
>>55451218
yeah it was running for 3 hours 30 mins i just stopped it and was 56c constant and 62c peak

>>55451303
getting these temps from hwmonitor btw)
