If you have an AMD FX octo core and two cards maybe... your rig even with a 250W GPU, would still be happy with a 500W PSU..even overclocked"make sure you have a good Powersupply Guys 850W and Up"

well this morning i made my test with my 6600K and my MSI z170A gaming M3 motherboard , last night was 4,2 GHz at 1.275v CPU core voltaje, temp.: 62°C to 67°C stable for 30 minutes. this morning it was 4.5Ghz at 1.350v CPU Core voltage, stable for 30 minutes using pgame95 stress test and "dont remember name of the Intel tool, very good tool comes with msi board CD tolos" well my benchmark was stock 7565 and overclock was 8356, temp goes from 60°C to 69°(remember you will be afected for the temperatura of the place you are, and if you have a good CPU Heatstink and fans of course)soo this are my results at 4,5GHz and 1.350v CPU core Voltage "if have some advice for me i will be glaad to hear it!

Have you tried to go beyond that 4.2GHz?Here is one screenshot after 40 mins memory stability test ( something like Prime95 blend ).

all on the same MSI ITX board and wc with 1x 120mm rad

well i get better results 4,3Ghz and 1.300v stable testing with prime 95 using small FFT option (is the same result if i go with blend option??) 13 hours and 44 minutes 268 tests passed , was really stable, min temp 26°C and max temp 72°Temps are fine. I wouldn't break 90C though during small FFT.
You maybe can you a Little bet higher iff want, but i think 46x 1.36v is really good and just 70C Amazing Temp....I am going 6600k 4.3Ghz and 1.30v 74°C max temp.I've been OCing my new rig - 6700K on MSI 170A M7 gaming mobo, and if I let the mobo's BIOS control the voltage, I can run it with a 48x multiplier (in dynamic mode), but the Vcore according to CPU-Z and MSI's Command Center jumps as high as 1.53v, and temps spiked as high as 93c.
I've scaled back to 46x, and locked the vcore are 1.36, which appears very stable and temps only get to about 70C under stress tests.
I'm wondering about OCing the cache? This is a new option (to me, anyway), and I see on HWBOT (I think that's right)- that others with a similar system have gotten higher scores in XTU benchmark by cranking that as high as 45x (normally 40x). Have others here played with the cache multiplier? Voltage settings for that? Warnings about chip-damage?
Mostly though, I just wanted to say that my basic experience with Skylake so-far is that it's quite cool at stock, but needs a (relatively) large voltage adjustment to go beyond 46x, and temps climb very, very fast as you go above stock values (for my experience of exactly one 6700K chip!)

wow that's big pic, how can I attach it smaller?
iBetter update BIOS and install latest chipset + ME drivers. I had the same on my MSI. Board was showing 1.05V under load @4.6GHz+ when in real should be ~1.3V. On the other hand ASUS on earlier BIOS was showing 1.325V auto/stock voltage without OC. On latest BIOS it's ~1.18V.
