February 1, 20179 yr Alright guys, I have an i5 6500 non-k. I just am testing the waters on OCing these chips. Asus ROG Maximus VIII Hero board (with the non-K OC bios) i5 6500 processor Cryorig R1 Ultimate cooler Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200 C14 RAM And I currently have it set as follows: BLK at 138 (4416 clock) Core voltage at 1.325 Ram is around 3100 mhz I have had Prime 95 1344K running for an hour and my package temps hit a peak of 56*c and average of 42*c Can I take this higher or just leave it as is? Everything I have read here says to keep package temps under 70*c, but this thing is hardly breathing heavy right now at those temps, am I correct?? Thanks in advance for the help!!!
February 4, 20179 yr Well, for anyone interested I ended up at the following: BLCK set at 142 (4544 clock) Core Voltage at 1.35 RAM around 3200 mhz RAM voltage at 1.35 I also ended up finding peak/stable OC on my Asus Strix GTX 1070 card and ended up at the following: +225 MHZ clock on the core (2126 MHZ) +1100 on the RAM (9102 MHZ) 100% Core Voltage 112% Power Limit 92* C temp limit (never seen over 55*c in benchmark, or 50*c in gaming) Overall, VERY happy with how it game out. I think there is more to be had with the RAM, as I havent done anything with it except select what I wanted the speed at. Package temp peak seen so far is 63*c when running 3D Mark benchmark.
