Re-uploads are for when you accidentally leave out important parts about voltage and BCLK adjustments
Paul's Hardware haha, glad i hadn't watched it yet!! :)
Paul's Hardware hope no one have already tried to overclock their 6600k or 6700k
Paul's Hardware Gives another chance for all the arguments too of course :-D
+Gandalf The Pink why not?
Paul's Hardware this is why we love u paul :D
finally someone who actually knows what he's talking about. subbed!
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.
I wanted to thank you for putting together this very useful video. I was able to overclock my 6700K very easily thanks to you!
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.
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.
+Scribbity scrooby Or the jumper, much easier.
Yea the jumper like others have said can be shorted with a screw driver
Running an i5 6600k water cooled and managed to achieve 1.21 gigawatts
Remember to check plutonium level before start gamming ;)

GREAT SCOTT!
insert Phil Spencer Knight Rider meme
Love th Back to the future reference.
Thanks Paul you gave me the confidence in this video that I needed to overclock my cpu!
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!
I7 2600k all the way!!! 5.2GHZ stable and cool. Liquid cooling.
Tanzu15 nice oc dude! 2500k 4.4 liquid cooled. you make me /jelly
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
***** omg if they brought sandy bridge back with updated features and ddr4 support.
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
***** im jelly bro!!
i7 6700K, OC to 4.8 GHz on an Asus Maximus VIII Hero, cooled by a NZXT Kraken X61. Happy days! :)
+UKPhoto111 what did u use for ur voltage?
+Uberphat I actually am not sure as I used some auto settings in the BIOS. I'm pretty new to the OC game.
It's one of Asus OC profiles, that I used - from XMP memory profile I think.
+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.
+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.
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!
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!
I'm using a i7 4790k @ 4.8Ghz
kinda won the lottery on that one
some one can up to 5GHz, they win the lottery :(
***** What are the temps? I'm getting around 90°C at 4.5GHz with 212 evo.
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.
*****
i am using a water cooler -_-
***** i think coltc8 was talking to rom hook with his h212 evo
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!"
Great video paul!! Iv watched pretty much everyones computer videos and i always look for yours first top notch work keep it up
Thanks for this video Paul! Have been sitting on my i7-6700k and decided to OC it for the first time today.
Hey it's the villain from Alvin and the Chipmunks!
It might be worth mentioning why you can overclock the CPUs and why there's a limit
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!
I have noticed a huge jump too!
Thanks for the info. As someone who has never built a PC before this cleared a lot of things up.
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.
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
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.
Hey Paul! Great Video, it helped me out a lot, keep it up!
I enjoyed this video. Simple and well done Paul. Thank you.
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
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
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.
"voltage not to high" what does high mean? 1,3v? 1,4v? 1,25v? ....
Great video Paul, could you please make another video explaining what settings to use on the benchmarks you used. Thanks!
Great video Paul! I just ordered my i5-6600k. Thank you for your brain and vocal chords.
Deja Vu
5:02 What motherboard is arranged like that Passmark?
Very old ones
+Exiled Storm None. It's just something the devs made up, you can click on the components for more info.
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!
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!
I over clocked my i3 to 38.4ghz
You mean 3.84ghz
+Sam M no . 38.40Ghz
Tay March I think that is impossible
+Tay March There is no 38 GHz, and even if there was you just destroyed your computer.
+Coolmint Gaming You're kinda stupid.
look i overclocked my laptop! prntscr.com/8a9j7a
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!
Thanks man! Love your videos.
Now test 23x200 Mhz vs 46x100 Mhz :p
Keven Harvey in theory 23x200 would be better IIRC but the chance the chip/motherboard will handle it is REALLY small
Exo Thermia
OC3D got their chipset to run at 280 Mhz, 200 shouldn't be unrealistic.
Keven Harvey oh really? I guesd theyve changed some things then
+Exo Thermia they did, skylake can do that :D
im too dumb for this :C
:(
I can help u if u want m8
What cpu and motherboard do you I have I was born to overclock.
i cant overclock mine, dont think mb or cpu can be
plus, i still have the stock cooler
RNGesus That sucks, look into a 6600k and a z170a mobo, also the kraken series aio water coolers are amazing.
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!
Can't thank you enough for this video, using this motherboard and cpu and cooler in a build. So glad I found this XD
Was I seeing that CPU overvolting to 1.648v or am I seeing things!!?
i saw 2.7v WTF
core i5 6600k, hyper 212 evo
On how much Ghz should I set and what voltage to keep everything stable!!? Thankss
josip glavaš pretty much the same as what paul said. 4.6
josip glavaš for voltage just increase like a tick
tnx
4.6 wow thats high 😂😂😂
josip glavaš bro, pretty much around 4.4-4.6 just try adjusting, check the voltage and check the temp. happy overclocking bro
Thanks for the video mate!
thank you Paul I got the CPU 2 days ago been trying to figure this out I came from Z77.
Can i achieve 4.2 ghz on my corsair h75 (i5 6600k)
easily
What about a corsair H60.
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.
more voltage produces more heat, not cpu frequency.
i run 4.5 at 1.25 volts on a non K 6700... package temps never over 70C cause i cant monitor core temps
i have 6600k so is 4.2Ghz with 1.250V good?
Thats what I settled on for 24/7.
what kind of cooling are you guys doing
+Ahmad AL-Shehri noctua nh-d15
what about the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO would it be enough for 4.0 or 4.2gh overclock
+Ahmad AL-Shehri i think so, but when you are overclocking watch temperatures, if they are under 60 you are Just fine
TIL Paul's wallpaper is a picture from my country. Nice one!
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.
i7-4770K @4.3 GHz :(
Bad chip,motherboard or bad temps?
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 :/
HannosWelt | @HennoeR Haswell was refreshed for this reason.
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 .
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.
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.
***** he upped the voltage to 1.275V
did you even watch the video?
Sry but the OC potential is pathetic
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.
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
Here we go again...where are the haters from AMD? They're slow and lagging and can't keep up.......hmmmm
Silver Shaman hey...i´m here...maybe late and maybe i pay to much for my voltage bills...but i´m here...
mcl40000 lol was a joke of course :-D not a fanboy, just a nerd.
Silver Shaman no woories...was obviously joking too! what do you think of the whole skylake thing?
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......
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
terrible video, honestly. no mention whatsoever of tweaking LLC or even of voltage.
Volound it's at the end
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
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".
Thank you for your video Paul.
great video, using this when mine arrives
Thanks Paul!
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.
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.
Got my i5 6600k to 4.2ghz! Thanks for the guide!
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?
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.
Great stuff Paul. Nice after all these years of overclocking to see it can still just be simple..LOL
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
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?
wow looks at those VRMs!! is that a 20-phase power delivery?
Excellent video Paul, Do you leave Turbo boost enabled or do you disable it?
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
Got a AMD FX-8350 Overclocked to 4.8 Ghz. Thinking about doing a rebuild with Skylake and DDR4 RAM.
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?
Great video, ty
You're great Paul!
4.8ghz all cores with h100i but took much more tuning on my 4770k. Just built a 6600k for a friend. When they are ready, I'd love to see what a skylake could do.
Paul this video is so helpfull unlike Tek Syndicates video where they say go 1.42V max. that's to much for this cpu
I really appreciate your no nonsense videos. Some of those other guys videos are so silly it makes me cringe. Thanks bud!
I'm running a 6700K in a Gigabyte G1 Gaming 5 board with a Corsair H90 (swapped the noisy stock fan for a Noctua NF-A14).
I'm able to hit a multiplier of 46 with 1.35 voltage and I barely hit 65 degrees on Geekbench stress tests.
I have 3600mhz ram and when I put the profile one it it worked....reviews were saying if you have the old bios it wasn't working....I have bios F5 ...and it came with that from the factory ....I'm really happy with the gaming 7
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.
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?
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.
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.
I could not figure out how to change the multiplier. I was hitting enter expecting a dialog menu to open like most items.
Thanks for showing me I just needed to type in the multiplier I want...
With a ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING, Socket-1151 using the AIIsuite, I got a stable overclocked 6600K at 4,6 Ghz, Cooled by a Corsair H100i GTX. Idles around 26 celsius and gaming on around 48
Could you make a video about overclocking with adaptive mode or whatever it is called in Gigabyte , Asrock and so on
PLEASE!
I'm using a Maximus VII Hero mobo and 4690K at 4.7Ghz and 1.375v on adaptive with a 212 Evo+, max temp after Realbench for 8hrs was 85c. A lot of other little tweaks and tunes and running amazing
+Shawn Strickland Good stuff, mine is at 4.6 with H100i and 70-72C temps. Thinking of going for a 4.8 , but by boosting the base to 200 and multiplier to 24!
+Dave Bell Eeep.
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!
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
i7-940, I have had it up to 4.2, but daily it @ 3.53 (153.50 base clock 23 multiplier), plenty of wiggle room with my H-100i
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!
About wPrime: If you never used it before (like me) fyi you need to run it as an admin (right click and choose run as admin). Otherwise it won't work and give an error.
I'm running a 4690-k with a base of 4.0 a turbo of 4.4 And I got it up to 5.05 with a little oc voltage adjustment to 1.364
thanks for the video, i ordered the version just under this board for 209.00 from newegg,i had to buy the 6600k because of the 6700k being delayed,i am gonna have to sell the 6600k when i can get ahold ofthe 6700k,i have always owned I7 cpu's so i hope its not too disappointing with the I5,i matched it with the gigabyte gtx 980ti windforce and 32gigs of ddr4 2800mhz ram,hope i can get the 4.6 ghz out of it.
Now all I need is an i7-6700k. Can you do a video on exactly what's going on with its supply?
Got my 6600k to 4.6 really easily. Thanks!
I think I've got something like a good jackpot. i5 4690K on 1.23V and 4,7GHz. Highest temp I've seen was 74 Celsius
Don't know why that background music reminds me of Ratchet and Clank...hm...great video! ahah
Paul's Hardware Running i7 4790k: 4.8GHz with 1.275V on a Gigabyte UD3H Black edition Mobo and a Noctua NH-D14.
My CPU base clock on my 6600K is 3.5
Just put OC up to 4.4 to be safe and went from 550, to 668 on cinebench. Time to go higher, thanks so much
I'm on a first generation i7 cpu (920), which I managed to overclock to a stable 3.5GHz, with 24GB of DDR3 1600 underclocked to 1487 or something to allow cpu overclock. I'm cooling it with the Corsair Hydro H110i.
My motherboard is the Asus P6T LGA1366, not sure about the chipset, but it worked well for almost 8 years. I'm hoping to retire it in 2017, at least as my main pc.
Maybe reset to stock clockspeed and install a simple air cooler, add a cheap gpu and run in eco mode to use as a backup pc or for file storage and network sharing.
youre core voltage is spiking alot. Glad i haven't got that problem, it stays below 1,300 V and above 1,250 V pretty much stable every time.
