Re-uploads are for when you accidentally leave out important parts about voltage and BCLK adjustments

[@geniusaur]

Paul's Hardware haha, glad i hadn't watched it yet!! :)

[@tf2vsl4d]

Paul's Hardware hope no one have already tried to overclock their 6600k or 6700k

[@adrianwarner8686]

Paul's Hardware Gives another chance for all the arguments too of course :-D

[@Zalle335]

+Gandalf The Pink why not?

[@HaanSoIo]

Paul's Hardware this is why we love u paul :D

[@Tanzu15]

I7 2600k all the way!!! 5.2GHZ stable and cool. Liquid cooling.

[@masaharumorimoto4761]

Tanzu15 nice oc dude! 2500k 4.4 liquid cooled. you make me /jelly

[@d7rkn1ghtmare64]

Tanzu15 nice, i got mine used with a motherboard for $200 and i got it to go all the way to 4.7 ghz. intel should just give up and start making sandy bridge again, they were so much better lol

[@Tanzu15]

***** omg if they brought sandy bridge back with updated features and ddr4 support.

[@d7rkn1ghtmare64]

yeah, that would be nice. i actually am running an x79 setup right now because sandy bridge-E was so nice too. my 2600k is my extra computer. but im trying to save up and get a nice i7 3960x or 3970x

[@Tanzu15]

***** im jelly bro!!

[@erikb454]

I have followed your tutorials on how to build a comp and various other tuts, and I gotta say you rock man. Please keep up the good work. You videos are easy to follow and you have a killer voice! Thanks for you hard work.

[@mdaveyphoto]

Amazing video! For just jumping into OC'ing after lightly reasearching and exposing myself to it for about a year this helped me understand some of the basics of reading the Z170X MB; which is my latest. Thanks!

[@ripciu]

finally someone who actually knows what he's talking about. subbed!

[@TheZMDX]

To restart BIOS in older motherboards you just have to pull out the battery that is in your motherboard. Just an advice if anyone was looking for that.

[@dedpxl]

they usually have some pins you can touch with a screwdriver to trigger a reset from the bios shorting. it's better than pulling up the battery IMO.

[@ThePimbax]

+Scribbity scrooby Or the jumper, much easier.

[@time4tradin]

Yea the jumper like others have said can be shorted with a screw driver

[@antonioshatzimichalis7927]

Thank you for the awesome video Paul! I'm getting a 6700k soon and I was wondering if I could overclock it to 4.5ghz without messing with the voltage and leaving it at stock. Keep up the good work!

[@mattc4431]

I wanted to thank you for putting together this very useful video. I was able to overclock my 6700K very easily thanks to you!

[@UKPhoto111]

i7 6700K, OC to 4.8 GHz on an Asus Maximus VIII Hero, cooled by a NZXT Kraken X61. Happy days! :)

[@papahuge]

+UKPhoto111 what did u use for ur voltage?

[@UKPhoto111]

+Uberphat I actually am not sure as I used some auto settings in the BIOS. I'm pretty new to the OC game.

[@UKPhoto111]

It's one of Asus OC profiles, that I used - from XMP memory profile I think.

[@ToneRetroGaming]

+UKPhoto111 You might want to check your voltage if you used an auto overclock feature. Just make sure it's not over 1.3. If not you have no worries with that cooler. It's a good one.

[@basserfelt]

+Tone Tech and Gaming relax I am running a 4.4Ghz stable with 1.35V with a Noctua aircooler. Temperatures stable and everything is fine and dandy.

[@mac2pro99]

Thanks for this video Paul! Have been sitting on my i7-6700k and decided to OC it for the first time today.

[@speedyMaldo]

Thanks for doing this video! I have never overclocked a processor and am about to build a gaming rig with almost the same board (a gaming 7 instead of the g1) and the exact same processor!

[@elRiku00]

6600k and cm hyper 212x clock speed at 4.6ghz voltages at 1.375 ran AIDA64 with good temps for 12 straight (temps peaked highest at 62c with one core avg. for all the cores were like 55c) When I start GtaV it runs with solid 60fps no issues for ½h to 1h then my computer just crashed. I there any way to fix my problem.

[@creeperraper1337]

i love how a few years ago everyone was like "NO, dont overclock your stuff, its bad mkay" and now everyone is like "OVERCLOCK EVERYTHING!!!!!!1!!!11!"

[@doubledragon2074]

Thanks Paul you gave me the confidence in this video that I needed to overclock my cpu!

[@godofrainbows]

It'a awesome how easy this is. When I'm pushing my pc to the max in my DAW or video editing, overclocking from 4.0 to 4.6 makes a real, noticeable performance boost. Thanks for the video!

[@doubledragon2074]

I have noticed a huge jump too!

[@Explore531]

can I use this Corsair - Hydro Series 240mm Liquid CPU Cooler - Black/Gray on 1151 socket motherboard it saying 1150 socket that I dont have thanks

[@2009DanHughes]

Anything that says its compatible with a 1150 is also compatible with the 1151, they're the same profile but with 1 extra pin in the socket.

[@Drives31forhalo]

I'm using a i7 4790k @ 4.8Ghz kinda won the lottery on that one

[@jtomas812]

some one can up to 5GHz, they win the lottery :(

[@22Sangre]

***** What are the temps? I'm getting around 90°C at 4.5GHz with 212 evo.

[@Drives31forhalo]

Rom Hook i have a swiftech h220-X, so around 75C at max load (running at 1.33V) it's a little high for voltage but meh, it's fine.

[@Drives31forhalo]

***** i am using a water cooler -_-

[@d7rkn1ghtmare64]

***** i think coltc8 was talking to rom hook with his h212 evo

[@AZTech25]

Great video paul!! Iv watched pretty much everyones computer videos and i always look for yours first top notch work keep it up

[@RedmoonWHO]

Thanks Paul........ I recently upgraded to a 4790K thanks to the Intel Retail Edge program and thanks to your videos and a few others know I don't need to upgrade at all. As for overclocking I havn't had too much luck, but I wasn't expecting much out of my Devils Canyon processor since in a way it's overclocked out of the box. Most videos at the time of it's release never got an overclock above 4.7GHz and it boosts to 4.4GHz out of the box. Using a Coolermaster T4 which works rather well, I may try to OC again with the tips in this video, you explained it rather well.

[@Reids0me]

Hey it's the villain from Alvin and the Chipmunks!

[@waduushbaduush8341]

I have I5-6600k & Asus Z170 Pro Gaming and Cryorig H5 ultimate. I would like to overclock it to 4.2GHz with 1.25V ish. Would this be safe for 24/7 use if i plan to use my cpu for 3 years minimum

[@thomasscheeringa524]

You can oc it but it will make your cpu's lifetime shorter bc u push it beyond what is normal. I think you'll still be fine

[@TheMilleniumSurfer]

No, its lifespan will only be shorter IF the temperature of your cpu is over 65 C. It doesn't loose lifespan from being "pushed beyond normal", it loses lifespan if it gets too hot.

[@chrisriffs]

Thanks for the video! Running an i5 6600k and managed to get it to 4.2Ghz stable at 1.250 volts. I'm also using a Corsair H75 liquid cooler in a BeQuiet Silent Base 800 case. My cpu temps max between 60-65 degrees in the stress test. I tried pushing it to 4.3 at 1.280 volts and 4.4 and 1.305 volts but the clock speed didnt stay consistent in the stress tests, and it struggled to stay at those speeds full time. Whereas with 4.2 I'm getting pretty much consistent clock speeds so I stuck with that. Also to note I built my PC in January 2017 so its had 4 years use in stock settings. I just want to me able to play Cyberpunk 2077 smoothly. Recently upgraded my graphics to a gtx 1660 super and overclocked my ram with XMP to ddr4 @3200mhz (16GB). FIngers crossed the 6600k overclocked will cut it!

[@Wootguy238]

Thanks for the info. As someone who has never built a PC before this cleared a lot of things up.

[@shehzaanaabdulla3047]

5:02 What motherboard is arranged like that Passmark?

[@storm_rl]

Very old ones

[@s8wc3]

+Exiled Storm None. It's just something the devs made up, you can click on the components for more info.

[@Bytemybits]

Deja Vu

[@Rawr1Stuff]

Currently waiting on my new parts to come for a new build, have the z170 k3 (just a cheaper version of this MB i think) 6700k so i will probably do what you said put in 4.6 and leave it there. Nice video very straight forward and uncomplicated, thanks Paul!

[@WarriorsPhoto]

I enjoyed this video. Simple and well done Paul. Thank you.

[@mostlymessingabout]

It might be worth mentioning why you can overclock the CPUs and why there's a limit

[@fadenseiden]

"voltage not to high" what does high mean? 1,3v? 1,4v? 1,25v? ....

[@Rusouv3]

I have OC my pc for the first time to 4.4ghz using the OC Genie from MSI... So far, so good... :D Thanks for your video and your help... Keep it up!!! Cheers!

[@havoc010101]

Cool video on how to easily overclock your 6600K CPU! This is incentive for me to try this to see what type of performance I can achieve with the newer generations hardware. Keep them coming Paul!

[@josipglavas4903]

core i5 6600k, hyper 212 evo On how much Ghz should I set and what voltage to keep everything stable!!? Thankss

[@ResayDota]

josip glavaš pretty much the same as what paul said. 4.6

[@ResayDota]

josip glavaš for voltage just increase like a tick

[@josipglavas4903]

tnx

[@josipglavas4903]

4.6 wow thats high 😂😂😂

[@ResayDota]

josip glavaš bro, pretty much around 4.4-4.6 just try adjusting, check the voltage and check the temp. happy overclocking bro

[@fatcheeseburger100]

I over clocked my i3 to 38.4ghz

[@samm4510]

You mean 3.84ghz

[@fatcheeseburger100]

+Sam M no . 38.40Ghz

[@samm4510]

Tay March I think that is impossible

[@allanburchfield3695]

+Tay March There is no 38 GHz, and even if there was you just destroyed your computer.

[@iddejonsson4374]

+Coolmint Gaming You're kinda stupid.

[@tektoro713]

Great video Paul, could you please make another video explaining what settings to use on the benchmarks you used. Thanks!

[@hershii3913]

Hey Paul! Great Video, it helped me out a lot, keep it up!

[@joonahamalainen6570]

i have 6600k so is 4.2Ghz with 1.250V good?

[@Jo3yization]

Thats what I settled on for 24/7.

[@VHS179]

what kind of cooling are you guys doing

[@joonahamalainen6570]

+Ahmad AL-Shehri noctua nh-d15

[@VHS179]

what about the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO would it be enough for 4.0 or 4.2gh overclock

[@joonahamalainen6570]

+Ahmad AL-Shehri i think so, but when you are overclocking watch temperatures, if they are under 60 you are Just fine

[@kevenharvey9711]

Now test 23x200 Mhz vs 46x100 Mhz :p

[@exothermia8752]

Keven Harvey in theory 23x200 would be better IIRC but the chance the chip/motherboard will handle it is REALLY small

[@kevenharvey9711]

Exo Thermia OC3D got their chipset to run at 280 Mhz, 200 shouldn't be unrealistic.

[@exothermia8752]

Keven Harvey oh really? I guesd theyve changed some things then

[@mika2666]

+Exo Thermia they did, skylake can do that :D

[@RoleyChiu]

Great video Paul! I just ordered my i5-6600k. Thank you for your brain and vocal chords.

[@parinvyas565]

Thanks for the video mate!

[@f1tony2003]

Was I seeing that CPU overvolting to 1.648v or am I seeing things!!?

[@filds1]

i saw 2.7v WTF

[@superx45468]

Can i achieve 4.2 ghz on my corsair h75 (i5 6600k)

[@TheMightyMuch]

easily

[@themagicconch2852]

What about a corsair H60.

[@TheMightyMuch]

The Magic Conch yup, easily. chances are you won't need to change the voltages at all and a 4.2 ghz oc is will not produce alot of heat, with a h60 i would actually probably try 4.4 ghz.

[@Zadial]

more voltage produces more heat, not cpu frequency.

[@Twinkie552]

i run 4.5 at 1.25 volts on a non K 6700... package temps never over 70C cause i cant monitor core temps

[@leehrvyoswld]

Thanks man! Love your videos.

[@Courier103]

Can't thank you enough for this video, using this motherboard and cpu and cooler in a build. So glad I found this XD

[@sandroxino]

im too dumb for this :C

[@reapov2665]

:(

[@WindowCleaningWizards]

I can help u if u want m8

[@Mon.M0TIVATION]

What cpu and motherboard do you I have I was born to overclock.

[@sandroxino]

i cant overclock mine, dont think mb or cpu can be plus, i still have the stock cooler

[@Mon.M0TIVATION]

RNGesus That sucks, look into a 6600k and a z170a mobo, also the kraken series aio water coolers are amazing.

[@HannosWelt]

i7-4770K @4.3 GHz :(

[@DavisSgt]

Bad chip,motherboard or bad temps?

[@HannosWelt]

Probably bad chip, tried 4.4 GHz and the system crashed on boot up. Also the temperatures are already not the best at 4.3 because it's an Haswell chip :/

[@NBFaded2497]

HannosWelt | @HennoeR Haswell was refreshed for this reason.

[@thematrix248]

HannosWelt | @HennoeR Looool that is enough power for the future 3 to 4 years .My 4770k is at 4.3 too :) . Especially with the introduction of dx 12 which will take less cpu overhead .

[@Kaipadilla1224]

HannosWelt | @HennoeR that sucks my i7-4790k runs stable @4.65 GHz and my i5-4690k runs @4.83GHz stable. The haswell refresh was great.

[@420scatman]

paul your videos are awesome and super friendly to beginners, thanks to you i was able to save tons of money on my first pc build, your windows 10 for 20$ video made me sub.

[@RealDimensionsSA]

I got 4.8 with 6700k, got the asus pro gaming board and it has a really nice overclocking software in windows that does all the tuning for you

[@3rdGenGuy]

the OC potential of these modern i7 is lame. my 2600k used to hit 5.2ghz no problem still runs 4.8ghz 1.3V to this day.

[@3rdGenGuy]

***** he upped the voltage to 1.275V did you even watch the video?

[@3rdGenGuy]

Sry but the OC potential is pathetic

[@hirmuli7022]

look i overclocked my laptop! prntscr.com/8a9j7a

[@onihonker]

Thank you for your video Paul.

[@panzer2181]

Running 6600k on MSI M7 mobo -- oc'd at 4.7ghz. Corsair H110i GT for cooling the CPU: max load temps at around 75 degrees Celsius.

[@adrianwarner8686]

Here we go again...where are the haters from AMD? They're slow and lagging and can't keep up.......hmmmm

[@mcl40000]

Silver Shaman hey...i´m here...maybe late and maybe i pay to much for my voltage bills...but i´m here...

[@adrianwarner8686]

mcl40000 lol was a joke of course :-D not a fanboy, just a nerd.

[@mcl40000]

Silver Shaman no woories...was obviously joking too! what do you think of the whole skylake thing?

[@adrianwarner8686]

Personally is of no use to me. Only a casual gamer (Quake 3, SImCity 4, FarCry 4 i.e low cpu requirements) mostly use it for going online, watching movies etc. So my i5 4430 is plenty for a while yet. For people into rendering and streaming may well be of use. But then the 9350 is shed loads cheaper. For gaming unless someone has an ancient CPU investing in a newer GPU would be a far better investment. Always used to use AMD, on Intel now purely as bought the pc off a friend who made it then wanted a PS4. Otherwise would prob still be on AMD. To sum up, I enjoy seeing what's going on but this isn't a game-changing release. Interested to see what the Zen turns out to be, but AMD are not in a good way right now so needs to be more energy efficient to be suitable for cross platform use. Intel doing well as the CPU's are cooler and more energy efficient so more suitable for laptops etc. Just my opinion of course......

[@RuberSocks]

Silver Shaman I have an amd processor, but only because it was cheaper and the best deal 2 years ago for a mid-range system

[@Volound]

terrible video, honestly. no mention whatsoever of tweaking LLC or even of voltage.

[@javascriptkiddie2718]

Volound it's at the end

[@1SuperLaku]

resistance1207 He did advice not to use over 1.375 for long periods of time. I doubt running at a little over 1.3 would harm your cpu in most cases

[@Globespy]

What fear mongering nonsense! My 6700K stock VCore was close to 1.28V. I've been running 4.5Ghz at 1.35V for 2 years without an issue - idle temps in the 28-30C range (H115i) and very good air flow cooling using Noctua iPPC (NF-A14) 120mm fans in pull push orientation. I didn't get the best chip, so stable 4.7Ghz needed 1.42V and was producing a little more heat than 4.5Ghz. The extra 200Mhz was just not worth it and I could care less about the never ending pissing contest on overclocks that won't make much more than a frame or 2 difference in most games. Intels own documentation says max voltage for skylake is 1.52V, so as long as you have a good water cooling solution and you can get your chip stable at 4.7 or 4.8Ghz there's no problem going to 1.4V for daily use. Many will say 1.4V is on the high end, and it is getting there, but if you have good cooling chances are much higher that you will upgrade your CPU a LONG time before it's "massively killed".

[@jchambers2586]

thank you Paul I got the CPU 2 days ago been trying to figure this out I came from Z77.

[@pywindmillz]

great video, using this when mine arrives

[@REDGROOVE1]

Great video, ty

[@ArchonofAethyrius]

I was gonna get my parts and over clock them, but then I had to pay for some of my college's tuition fees, and so I'm short half my budget.

[@SpecterMatthew]

Thanks Paul!

[@polirir7]

Great video Paul helped me deal with overclocking on a i5 6600k . What is this Offset mode on voltage on the Z 170-A motherboard?

[@markojokic2980]

I did click like and definitely subscribed to you . thank you for the video. Quick question I have corsair dominator platinum 3200mhz , how much do you recommend to overclock the memory speed in bios ? And how do I k ow how much of voltage should I add ? Thank you

[@ZZstaff]

Thank you for taking the time to make this. I have my i5-3750K overclocked to 4.4GHz at 1.2 volts, and I only have a "middle of the road" overclocker. Going from 4.0GHz to 4.4GHz only effects games that are CPU hogs, MS-FSX for example. This video was brought to us by monoprice.com? What was with the booze commercial [intro] then?

[@washerrrr]

Do you have a video on how to put the drivers, which ones there are many, in what order do we install, how to make sure they are all up-to-date, etc?

[@91Metalhead]

What a coincidence. I go to check this video out for my upcoming system, and you're using the motherboard i'm intending to buy.

[@HappyDude1]

Hi Paul great video I want 4.5 ghz i have the same ram motherbord and cpu as you But it keeps crashing ? I was using gigabyte software in windows Do i need to do it in the bios ? Or do i need to update something ??

[@Bossmoney84]

I have the z170-E board 16gb corsair veng ddr4 at 2993mhz, i5 6600k clocked at 4.6 ghz, I Benched at 4.7 but voltages would jump to 1.5 and it became unstable after couple hours of gaming. I have it cooled with a corsair h55 liquid cooler and chassie fans bringing air in from front and back, along with 1 exhaust on top just above where the CPU is and another exhaust on side for my GPU. Temps are around 40-50c under a gaming load. I am running a corsair 750w psu and a gtx 1060 gpu. I just built this setup about a month ago first ever custom build so far I am very happy with it.

[@medievilbo25]

Got my i5 6600k to 4.2ghz! Thanks for the guide!

[@tetaykanatach7073]

TIL Paul's wallpaper is a picture from my country. Nice one!

[@mrbaker2189]

Excellent video Paul, Do you leave Turbo boost enabled or do you disable it?

[@smoketinytom]

So here I am, in 2020 trying to squeeze a bit more out of my i5-6600K and it’s from 3.5Ghz and I’m now at 4.5Ghz. It’s actually black and white difference.

[@Hionimi]

Cool vid, Paul! Also, got a nice system so far but still not where I want it to be, currently got this: • Asus Z170 Pro Gaming. • Intel i7 6700K. (With a dab o' Arctic MX-4 on it.) • Corsair H60 120mm. (More on that in a bit.) • DDR4 Corsair Vengeance LPX 2133 Mhz. • Asus GTX 980 Ti Strix. • 2 x OCZ Vertex 3 128 GiB. (Old, from the era where you paid a small fortune for tiny SSDs.) • Samsung 850 Evo 500 GiB. (New, tired of the limited space of the Vertex 3's.) • Corsair RM1000. (Probably way overkill, but hoping to get another GTX 980 Ti.) Now... This is all cramped into an old Antec 900, first gen, so sadly something like a Corsair H100/110 or similar wouldn't fit, hence the H60 for now. Which is also just using the stock fan on one side for now. I plan on getting a H110 once I have my new case later on, for which I have my eye on a Corsair C70, but since that'll be about €300.- later, it'll have to wait for now. Anyway, to the point, now that you know my computer a bit, how much could this be overclocked for now? 4.4? 4.5? Also, my memory is just the standard 2133 Mhz, idea to get something faster or not really necessary?

[@TekOverclocked]

paul what is your average temperatures at 4.6 Currently i got my 6600k at 4.6 as well and for cooling i got the corsair h100i and thermaltake riing 12 only push configurations, please reply your temps thanks man

[@Enju23]

One year later for this video, I am running the 6700k, though I never used Bios to OC my cpu, I went with the AI Suite 3 from Asus, it overclocks it quite well as it got me to 4.6Ghz as well, and better yet it doesn't keep it consistently at that frequency, it lowers it when my pc sits at idle so temps don't spike too high, but of course if I start using programs it goes back up to that OC frequency

[@connorp8408]

I have the same motherboard and a Corsair H80i. Which of the cables would you recommend plugging into the OPT fan port?

[@dimhoLten]

Thanks for the video. I also tested the internal "EZ tuning" functionality which moved my clock speed from 3.5Ghz (6600K) to 4.3Ghz instantly and with stability. A question: even after this overclock, which to me seems like a large one, the temperature stayed at round 40 degrees C during gaming. Can I overclock a bit more? How do I know that I'm approaching a dangerous limit with my overclock? Thank you!

[@ukog12]

Got a AMD FX-8350 Overclocked to 4.8 Ghz. Thinking about doing a rebuild with Skylake and DDR4 RAM.

[@malamri424]

wow looks at those VRMs!! is that a 20-phase power delivery?

[@Sophia1a1]

You're great Paul!

[@robertvanderveen4384]

Great stuff Paul. Nice after all these years of overclocking to see it can still just be simple..LOL

[@NNHK97]

at the beginning of the video, 2:58, the cpu was at stock setting but the cpu vcore got above 2v max, isn't it unsafe? sometimes the current vcore jump above 1.4v too. btw, when overclocking, what voltage i should pay attention to? vcore? or vid

[@abidanhdz]

thanks paul your videos have incurage me to try overcloking and building my own pc. ive tried overclocking for the first time with my i5 6600 and got it to 4.6 with tems in the low 20s high 10s on idle and mid to high 40s on load. im just using the setting that my motherboard comes with (using a gigabyte z170 Gaming 7) (CPU cooler is a noctua nhd14) can i get a better overclock if i do it manually

[@sK0RPAN]

Hey Paul! Im getting a MSI Z170A GAMING M7 and a i5 6600k with a cooler master v8 gts, how much do you think I'll be able to overclock it manually in bios/uefi? Or do you think I should just do the msi gaming boost thing instead? :)

[@DiceAir]

Paul this video is so helpfull unlike Tek Syndicates video where they say go 1.42V max. that's to much for this cpu

[@jacobmctaggart1351]

So if I overclock my 6700k to 4.6ghz, you would also recommend setting voltage to 1.3v?

[@MGuate]

Hi, 970 to 980ti its really a better performing for gaming? and what are think about MOTHERBOARD GIGABYTE G-Z170XP-SLI 6ta GEN? Thanks (I gave you like).

[@samalsadi6165]

Is it required to change the voltage after overclock or same time of overclocking ?

[@itsRakzo]

Thanks

hello I do not understand much of the voltages. happens if I go up to 4.6 GHz and leave it in automatic ?? thanks very good video

[@ace_of_spadesgaming9674]

Paul, I know its late...but I have 6700k and was able to hit 4.8, but at 1.41v...too much! I dropped down to 4.6 daily use, and its running like a champ at 1.32v!

[@christophermorris6136]

I'm running 4.8ghz daily, but can push 5ghz with some extra voltage, and turning my pump, and fans up a bit to keep things nice and cool. I'm using the ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO, Dominator DDR 3000 CAS 15 @ 3200Mhz. I am using to Corsair H100i GTX for cooling that lets me idle at 14c, and max out at 53c.

Paul how far would you be able to push volts on phase change cooling i am currently building a sky lake buld i7 6700k on a gigabyte g1 ultra board let me know man

[@pam0077]

Before you started overclocking, how do keep the core clock running at a constant 4Ghz while the PC was relatively at idle? Did you disable the c-states?

[@ClassicBMWFanInQuebec]

What was the room temperature please Paul? 39-40C idle at 4.6 seems pretty high no? I'd expect around 32C or so...

[@imdaveybuds]

does anyone have sites I can research this stuff ??? I started learning about computers two weeks ago I am coming along but this is something I definitely need to look into more

[@AbolishedShadow]

With the gigabyte g1. Is there enough clearance with the top pcie slot to accommodate a large air cooler like the CM maker 8?

[@kirostar12]

Nice review man. Do you know can I OC my I7 6700k 4ghz with my DARK ROCK PRO 3 Silentwings CPU Cooler 250W TDP ? Thank you

[@roembowski]

Would you recommend the same techniques for Kaby Lake 7700K and Z270 boards?

[@todemkd1233]

can i overclock i5 6600k to 4.6ghz and run auto voltages? or i need to adjust them? thank you!

[@Sentinel713]

Anybody have any guides on overclocking for a first time pc builder? I was lost for a good part of this video, this is all pretty new to me.

[@aarontj297]

hello wheres the link for the video on how to change the voltage because i dont kniw how to with the same z170 but a different type of gigabyte motherboard
