Huh, I just saw the 5.71GHz in his original screenshot, but I mean, errors happen, and Windows isn't perfect. If you think his stuff is a lie, then I'll need more proof.

I did take the screenshot after I stopped the stresstest, I hope that's okay
Awesome!
I was curious to see how high my cpu could go after seeing this thread
I'm afraid 4.8 will be max for now, not feeling comfortable going over 1.4v to reach 4.9.
It's likely not worth it, let's be honest.
You've got a solid overclock, enjoy it now! Maybe tweak it if you didn't already? I don't know if this was just a stable voltage you happened on, but didn't tweak it down at all? Never a bad idea to try and get the voltage to the absolute minimum. If you didn't, good luck!
Well, the bios voltage I used to achieve the 4.8 was 1.35.
1.34 is giving me BSOD in realbench so I'll have to settle for 1.345
I'll probably give it some aida stresstesting tomorrow to check if it's really stable.
That's incredibly close, either way! You probably have it at the minimum, no doubt. Not much room in between those numbers. Well done!
But damn, a +.05v at least, to get up to potentially 4.9GHz? Yeah... pass. :P
Yeah..
I'll amazed at the difference in voltage I need to get from 4.7 to 4.8, 4.7 seems doable with 1.28 but again, need to put some hours stresstesting on that to confirm.
Meanwhile I'll give a go at overclocking my gtx 970, see where we get there.
Yeah, there's always some spot with CPUs where it's just an absolutely massive jump in voltage compared to previous steps up, where you start getting into the tougher territory, both to stabilize and to cool.

RAM 4x8GiB @ 3006 MHz 1.325v 15-15-15-35 1T, 310 tRFC, 32767 tREFI
The liquid loop's heat exchanger actually sits outside, so no noise and no room for the heat to get stuck in. It's also winter ready, recorded coolant temperatures as low as -15c in the winter. Here's some picture with some ice buildup from the winter. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...4/SAM_2218.JPG
CPU might actually be AIDA stable at a lower voltage, running now. But 4.9GHz is an absolute wall. I did a get a few 5GHz shots during winter but didnt do much with it.

Hi, sorry if this isn't the right place to be asking,
After having help with my CPU the other day i've tested a bit of Overclocking, still new to it but i'm hoping to get a 8 hour test done at some point to post here, only thing is, i'm having heat issues,
I had my i7 6700k 4ghz @ 1.18v 5 hour stable(i might've been able to push lower, didn't try) max temp was around 66c in OCCT 64bit, AMX, logical cores
but when i try push it higher, the temps jump massively
for example i had 4.4ghz @ 1.27v with a max temp of around 80c, tested 4.4 @ 1.26v later, and the temps are running higher? hitting 82-83c
I'm assuming it's just the weather in general getting hotter?
Just tried Alda stability test, only for a few mins but it seems like it's much less stressful on the cpu temps than OCCT? hit a max of 71c at 4.4@1.26v whereas OCCT hit 83c.
OCCT AVX - 64 bit - Logical Cores
4ghz @ 1.28v - 66c max
Started to OC from this point, or try, I also set ram to XMP - they're running at 3000mhz now, could this add heat?
4.4ghz @ 1.27v - 80c max
4.4 @ 1.26v - 83c max (did 1.27v just before and that one hit higher too, actually hit 85c last night, was warm).
I could always increase fan speed JUST for the tests since normal usage wouldn't produce this much heat? Do you think theres anything wrong with my temps/heat sink maybe?

1.6volts? Are you mad? I am surprised you didn't fry the chip. Do what you can with 1.35volts , call it 1.4v if you have a very good cpu cooler.
Yeh my bad lol i meant 1.26 ofc, edited it now.
Yes, that's normal. There's usually an area where your heatsink might not perform quite as well (intense load situations, think high voltage) and thus it takes the heatsink longer to dissipate it. This is normal though and 80 Celsius is okay. No game will ever push your CPU that hot.
What heatsink do you have?
And yeah, I turn all my case fans up to max pretty much just to get the best temperature results and such, so that's obviously a good idea! ^_^

Quick question - I could not find option to make voltage exact - in BIOS it was set to manual 1.35v, but in CPU-Z it was showing 1.392v to 1.408v during aida64 stability test (I only had time for 10min of testing). Also I'm not sure if I really can use hyperthreading when having such OC without causing problems (and I would like to have it since I render stuff).
You didn't read the original post.
8 hours minimum is required.
Screenshot with temperature monitoring software is required.
Your name in a notepad text box is required.
What problems with the high OC and hyper-threading are you talking about? And sounds like there's something wrong going on with your motherboard... maybe you didn't remember to save your settings?
Also, since the screenshot is missing the above bits and wasn't taken while the test was running, I can't tell that you're actively running and testing at 4.8GHz.
The H100i GTX should have no problem cooling that CPU with that OC, though, and you would be disqualified if you turn off hyper-threading.
