Fairly new to this overclocking scene, here's my result.
Using GIGABYTE Z170XP-SLI

1.728 Vcore or 1.308?

Don't fry your chip mate.

Nice clocking here.. how about the benchmark?

my 6700K runs near 90c on full load 4.5ghz with H220-X, on stock clock it runs around 85c

I'm pretty sure i already mounted the cooler the right way

runs at 30-35c on idle stock clock, near 40c on 4.5ghz idle

EDIT : was using Prime95 and people say it'll hurt the cpu. did another test with cinebench, max temps 72c stock clock

EDIT 2 : got a stable 4.6ghz @ 1.355v

If you're using Haswell now, I advise you to hold your horses. Jump for the Kabylake next year will be more worth it.
If you're using AMD APU/FX6### or Intel LGA775 stuff, you better jump now.

Affirmative

Btw, Im on Haswell currently..

I overclocked my 6700k to a modest 4.4ghz (coz I sayang my CPU haha, my first high end rig for years. haven't changed since the IP-35 MOBO LGA775 where I used Dual Core CPU). I'm using ASUS ROG Maximus Hero VIII

Run RealBench (Asus) @ 1.20V for 2 hours without problem. But when I ran Prime95, 5 min into the test I get BSOD haha.

Eventually managed to keep it stable @ 1.23V - So I achieved 4.4ghz @ 1.23V. I'm using ID Cooling FrostFlow 240L - Stock @ 33c and max load usually around 65c (thanks to the low voltage). No aircond in my room, only kipas.

I have temptation to OC it further but it makes little to no differences in gaming performance, unless it's a CPU dependent game. Is my CPU good?

Lol, default speed is 4Ghz with turbo 4.2 correct?
It seems the Haswell overclock better than Skylake

Yup. Could've push more but I see little to no gain performance. I mainly play games, rarely do graphics or video editing jobs.

Does anyone here OC the non-K version ? i3-6100 perhaps ?

Sold it, if u intend to do OC, grab the "K" version instead

Hehe dont have a budget for K version yet.. Have to play around wirh my i3 for now..

Does anyone here ever tried oc'ing those valueram ddr4? Kingston maybe? How high did u manage to go?

If you have the ASRock mobo, I'd say - Go For It !

Sold & just top up a bit leh
Try find cheap one frm Garage Sales

My Corsair Vengeance just die, so currently I only run on Value Ram which default speed at 667
But, I manage to squeeze it to run at 800Mhz

Your RAM actually died ? You abused it too much ... LOL ...

Well, u see, its a waste to buy "K" processor if u dont abuse it
Luckily RAM has lifetime warranty, so I will just RMA it later

I notice many people uses Vcore around 1.35V for 4.5-4.6Ghz OC ..

I wonder if mine 1.48V is ok ?
Saw in the Intel Spec sheet .. max Vcore is 1.52V ...
Temperature is fine.. even under Prime95 load .. its 68-73 Celcius ..

Btw in BIOS .. I use Override mode and set Vcore 1.375V (but in all sensor in it says 1.48V) .. any idea why ?
