Decided to not use the auto O/C on my Asus Gene Viii board any more...because I don't like seeing the voltage go above 1.4v's, and my CPU temps bump up against 80c. So I read the typical manual O/C guides, set my cores to 46, left uncore on auto, set adaptive and kept doing RealBench until I found a stable 1.25v with LLC level 5.

Temps during RealBench are highs of 60c, with a peak up to 63c with ambient temp of 26c, and CPU idle temp of around 29c. I have a simple Cooler Master Pro 4 CPU cooler, which is set to silent and only gets up to 1400rpm during the tests, and my R5 case fans are silently whirling at 900rpm. Realbench scores are a lame but consistent 95,000-98,000

I am seeing almost no one running 4.6 o/c on a 6700k at such a low voltage? If I dip down to 1.24v I get a BSOD after a few seconds of RealBench, but 1.25v is happy for an hour of that, of geekbench, and the actual need for the speed, h265 Handbrake encoding all cores at 100% for over an hour. HWmonitor and CPU-z shows my vCore around 1.264 max. Power draw at 100% all cores 4600Mhz settles around 77 watts. Am I reading thing incorrectly, or do I have a happy chip? I bought this 6700K used on eBay for $200, and was a bit freaked out when it arrived, because the CPU lid appeared to have been reglued to the chip...had this yellow/clear rubber cement looking crap squeezed out onto the green part. Wondering now if I bought a delidded CPU without knowing it? I thought it was just really poor quality control at intel, or the previous owner ripped the lid off removing his cooler, and fixed it with Elmers glue.
