November 27, 20169 yr Well maybe late to the party but received my I7-6700K and running a MSI Z170A with Corair 3200 mhz lpx memory Noctua D15S Stable at 4.6 ghz Vcore at 1.32 and SA 1.2 IO 1.5 temps between 55C and 70C Testing now with 4.5 ghz Vcore at 1.24 and SA 1.5 IO 1.1 temps max 55C Still testing prefer low temps...

November 28, 20169 yr Author What is... "SA 1.2 IO 1.5 temps between 55C and 70C". Never heard of it. I assume it's some king of stress test? What are the temps running the RealBench stress test? In any case, 55 - 70 degrees is a perfectly acceptable temperature. If you prefer 4.5 GHz, fair enough. Small overclock though, just 300 MHz above the Turbo frequency.

SA = CPU SA Voltage IO = CPU IO Voltage Temps are with Aida64 and OCCT Still playing with the overclock to determine the 24/7 setting 4.5 ghz rock stable at Vcore 1.25 and pretty low temps also 4,6 ghz only a bit warmer, prefer always to have temps below 60C.

November 28, 20169 yr Author Oh right, you're talking about system agent voltage. Auto is usually fine. Not usually necessary to worry about it unless RAM proves troublesome. Have a bash at RealBench. More realistic, not synthetic, more akin to how we use our PC's in daily use. I can compare with mine then. Don't forget ambient temp. You say you prefer temp under 60. In a stress test or general use? Higher than 60 in a stress test is fine. 75 degrees for me at 4.6 in RealBench. Ambient was 25. Perfectly fine temp.
January 6, 20179 yr Author In case anyone is interested... With the new 3007 Bios for my Asus Z170 Deluxe, no more over volting with Five Way Optimisation. I ran it first to see what it would do with the new BIOS, expecting to probably manually overclock afterwards... no need, did a nice job. 4.6 Ghz @ 1.344 Volts. Lower voltage than my previous manual overclock.
