Ahh ok on the Official Status...

Ok on Kaby Lake Guide...

To many cooks, that's a good one...LOL

Did you see my OC post, as to what I've done?

Thanks

I got the volts lower, I mention below, and now Prime95 ran on average 70c and hit some times only as high as 73c.

I thought they made a liquid now that is non-conductive, so if you get it a leak,...

LOL, I hear ya, it's the 'To Many Things, and To Little Time' ;)

And for everyone else reading, I went back and got a Stable OC on 1.28v LLC=5, those are the only changes I did...

2 Hours on...

By the way your Signature shows the image tags -

Cheers

I'll go back and see if I can lower Vcore and play with LLC...

Thanks Menthol

What Asus, doesn't think when you have something Valid to say, they shouldn't make it/you Official?

HEY ASUS RAJA NEEDS TO BE OFFICIAL! ;)

Man no respect huh? LOL....

Well I followed your...

Made some changes on the post, see those sections I mention this in Green - NEW CHANGES . :)

If you look at my specs you'll see I'm running an i7-6700K...

I just did an OC on it @ 4.6GHz -...

@aceisme I've been thinking of going Liquid Cooling, but the thought of a leak, really scares me... LOL

Yes after all my hacking I came to the same conclusion, 4.6ghz is the sweet spot, so that's...

@kkn I have 2x 140mm in the front of the case, so hopefully that's enough air flow...

@R5Eandme Tux is Rocking as always! You might have to change that Nick to --> Tuxandme ;)

Yeah I better go...

See here is what's confusing, I don't think Asus realizes, that there is the Overclocking Guides;

And I was originally following this...

I understand a lot of this already, sorry I wasn't making any of this clear.

It's not my first time doing OC, the concerns were more about Skylake problems, and concerns of how legitimate AVX is...

LOL, did you actually read the post? Becasue you didn't answer any of the questions I had concerns over, and it wasn't regarding what general OC volts and temps are.

The volts for this CPU I...

@Raja@ASUS I've been looking around, but is there a Sticky on the Forum for OC, and I'm running a Maximus VIII Hero with i7-6700K, so when it comes to the ROG boards I don't know if the OC for all,...

For the 010 to .020 volts, are you talking about the offsets?

Please read this post;

Thanks

I've read so many conflicting things over AVX, but hey, Welcome To the Web of Disinformation Chaos! LOL ;)

1. If you're not going to use the tool and it's full potentional it's not worth it.

2....

I'd like to think I'm somewhat Geek, but I also don't want to mess up the hardware with something I'm not sure about what I'm doing.

So after reading a little, my understanding with the Additional...

Old post I know....

But for all those that are reading online like me to overclock, from all the reading I have been doing, this is not suppose to be a good way, running stress tests in Adaptive...

Oh yeah that too, so I figured after seeing that, all those apps at once had to be a joke... ;)

Now this seems a bit crazy running all at once...




I know this is an OLD POST! ;)

But seriously, I'd like to know, is this really good to do, run multipile stress apps at the same time? ...

I guess the thing is, order the bloody thing and try and see...

Now, I'm concerned about heat, also as I mentioned I use Win7, and I've read install the drivers with the OS running SATA, then...

I've been trying to absorb as much information out there as possible.

I see after setting Manual to tweak and Stress Test, that after a stable OC is acheived, Adpative seems the way to go, I like...

Yes the gaming aspects I know aren't much..

I guess I didn't ask, if anyone might know for compiling software there will be a difference?

I compile a lot in Linux and was considering the M.2,...

Well I need to get a bigger drive, and at present I have a Samsung 840 Pro & 850 Pro.

I've been doing a bit of reading online, and the benchmarks look impressive for the NVME M.2, but then I read...

Ahh I didn't look hard enough LOL...

Thanks

@michmich, some water cooling systems aren't much better, or even better then nice high end air cooling heatsinks. Some water cooled systems just aren't worth using...

I run a great air cooled...
