Brand new 6700k needs to be overclocked!

[Pepi93]

See sig for rig details...

The only lead I have is this generic guide to OC'ing the chip but I suspect there's more to it than that?

I Tried just the basic RealBench quick run and went up to 1.35v @ 4.7ghz.

I didn't do any stress testing yet because I'd like to see if there are other BIOS settings I should be looking at?

Man I'd love to hit a stable 5.0ghz but I think I'm shooting a bit too high...

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Doubt you'll go farther with that D14, 4.7ghz at 1.35 is really good. Usually if you can pull 15m/8gb-16gb (your max ram) test, hes ready for anything but 1h seems to be the general consensus on Realbench 2.43

Yeah I've been doing some testing and 4.8 is hard to do...

I'm still just learning so we'll see but I think I might take a different approach and try to hit a 4.5 with the lowest possible Vcore

So far I've decided to do a 4.5 and I'm pulling back the voltage...

I'm currently at 1.24 and according to HWiNFO 1.248 and it seems stable.
