I am new to Overclocking and just worried about messing things up any advice would be appreciated.

I have been using my 6700k stock 4.2Ghz with a h100i gtx and been noticing high temp ranging from 74c to 68c while gaming. Then I noticed my vcore was set to 1.44v. I check the UEFI and it was set to auto vcore.

I did a RealBench stress test on the stock settings for 1 hour and the max temp was 84c..

I attempted my first overclock yesterday at 4.4Ghz at 1.25v I did 2 hour Realbench and 6 hour Aida64 temp were max at 72c for both test = stable.

So I tried a few GameBench marks I saw a 3-5% increase only like 5fps but 1 game was showing strang results. Rainbow 6 siege was running fine but at the results page the min would be 13fps this happens in 2 test out of 8.

I decided to downclock to 4.2Ghz at 1.25v, 1 hour Realbench was 71c. So I did Rainbow 6 again after 8 test all results were 114+ for the mins.

So I added 0.025 on the voltage and set adaptive to auto on 4.4ghz still the same results on siege 13fps from time to time.

I am not really looking for a boost in perforce because it's only small gains in fps I just wanted my system cooler.
