Just learned how simple it is to do a basic Overclock. I managed after testing for 2 days during the storm that hit the east how to overlcock my 6700K for the first time. I managed to pull 4.5Ghz on Air using the Cryorig M9i @1.350v I ran RealBench for 4 hours and had no issues, temperatures maxed at 87c. Yes I know this is pretty high and I should get a better cooler but that's not my objective right now, I am just testing the waters and learning.
#1 Is it harmful for my CPU to run @1.350v?
#2 My Idle temperatures went up from from 31-35c to 38-40c on idle after the overclocking. Is this normal? is there a way to fix it?
#3 My CPU Idles at 1.332v on HWMonitor on my Desktop with nothing running and it doesn't go down but when stress testing it does go down to a "Value" amount of 1.290v or 1.255v which seems more in the normal end of things. Is this normal?
How can I fix #2 and #3?
Thank you so much.
