Administrators websmile Posted June 27, 2016 Administrators Share Posted June 27, 2016 You can oc with multiplier at 6700k, if you have decent cooling you can go for 45x and set vcore to around 1,3v, then do some stability tests with prime, Linx or xtu for the start if you can enter windows at these settings. If it works, lower vcore and try again until you found lowest possible vcore stable. I guess this would be a good start, no need to mess with memory settings at first for example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a good stable overclock At 4.5ghz ... Been running prime 95 for a few hours now and temps sitting Nicely at 61 degrees and passing tests fine , going to leave this on for a good while .. Really happy with the temps ... What have people got out of the 6700k ?? I have a cryorig r1 universal so it's doing a really good job at keeping it low !!!
