I have established a stable overclock with reasonable temperatures using several stress tests (Intel Extreme Tuner, Old Prime 95, etc.), however there are other more extreme stress tests (new 64-bit Prime 95, Core Damage, ...) that drive some core temperatures much higher than I want to see. The default thermal throttling temperature for the i7-6700K is way too high for my comfort (Tjmax is 100 deg C). However, the chip itself has additional configurable protections described in sections 5.1 - 5.7 of the following Intel PDF. http://www.intel.com/content/dam/ww...sktop-6th-gen-core-family-datasheet-vol-1.pdf
I'm going to see if I can demonstrate thermal throttling at around 80 deg.
Edit: I had no success with the existing controls in my bios. I haven't found parameters TDP or cTDM in my bios.
I did find the DPTF driver for Win 10, which is supposed to be able to set these parameters

Edit2: Here is a link to a forum that discusses using ThrottleStop, an application that works on older Intel i series processor chips. http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2297457/lenovo-y50-cpu-throttling-issue.html
Edit3: Well, this seemed to be possibly a good idea because throttling control via the bios would be a lot less risky than deliding the CPU chip.
Also, the information originated in an Intel PDF. However, I spent most of the afternoon scanning the internet for usage experiences that turned up mostly negative. Some users were helped but too many others suffered poor performance. At this point, I have to consider this concept to have problems in its implementation and not quite ready for prime time... If anyone has had positive experiences please let me know.
