6700K Overclock

[etihad]

Just thought to share my current OC. 4.8GHZ @ 1.36V. HWmonitor showing temps however my asus overclock monitor was showing 55-58 max temps and the same in corsair link. Which should I follow? The computer is 100% stable. I can also get 4.9GHZ @ 1.38V 100% stable. XMP 3000MHZ corsair dominator

Running multiple monitoring utilities at the same time will cause polling conflicts.

Even If I just have one mate, the temps read diff to the asus monitoring screen.

You mean the OC Panel?

What criteria are you using to determine stability?

I have found HWMonitor to be consistently accurate on multiple platforms.

Hello

The ASUS utility reports a CPU temperature that has filtering applied for proper fan control. The values shown by the DTS sensors are the approximate core temperatures.

1.36v ? your Kidding right? lol
obv your running at 1.45v for that speed also your temps are confirming that .


I run mine at 1.42v too with my impact for 4.8ghz

I've ran realbench for 2 hours and did aida64 for 1 hour. I have played for hours on bf4 max settings snd crysis 3 project cars, and some light office work and also used the cinibench benchmark, 3dmark benchmark. Yeah I mean the asus oc panel lol.

I can assure you I havnt gone over 1.39v in the bios. Can't you see the pictures? overvoltage to 1.39v and the lowest was 1.36v . if it's not clear I'll upload another one.

I have also recorded a video to show that it isn't set anywhere near 1.45v.

ya it doesn't matter, your motherboard will overshoot the voltage to match cpu speed which will result in 1.42~1.45 v .. even if u set the voltage to lowest as possible...
also ASUS motherboards tend to use high figures on LLC (level8 ~) option if you leave at auto.. which will make the voltage overshoot more.

look at your first screenshot ... you can the max voltage used is 1.42 and that's not even accurate... probably more than 1.43~ which is the norm for any 6700k running 4.8Ghz even your temps.

Ah I see. while it does the stress tests it only touches 1.4v once maybe and the rest of the time 1.36-1.37. I thought the whole purpose of having manual is to contract the voltage and not let the board choose the voltage automatically. What's the point of having the option?
