Overclocked i5-6600k @ 4.5 Ghz (jumping temperatures)

The thermal paste youre using is a bit dated and unsafe tbh.

Id also make sure your volts are not going too high at load.

Tbh the lack of info here leaves me with loads of questions but I dont want to scare you off on your first post :p
 
I thought it is still a good thermal paste. It costs here in Poland 6 euros.

If there is a better, what you recommend?



I used offset mode to OC. I just add + 0.200V to the default values. On HW monitor i get 1.329V MAX but i will tweak that later when i get back home.
 
Arctic cooling MX4

Noctua NT-H1


Arctic silver is conductive and can kill your PC if mis used or you use too much. Newer pastes are non conductive which means they are safer but they also perform better.
 
Oh, i see, i bought it because it was written at the store product site: "New Arctic is not conductive which is an advantage" Maybe it is improved Version! �� if it is not true i buy another one that you mentioned.

I concur. I recently used the Noctua with impressive results. Great product.

From their FAQ:

"Not Electrically Conductive:
Arctic Silver 5 was formulated to conduct heat, not electricity."

Like any thermal paste it can kill your rig if you bridge two contacts.
 
Isopropanol+Noctua paste ordered.

Guys more technical question, better is to set constant 4.5 Ghz and ~ 1.3V or Offset mode for decreasing frequency when not needed and seting up upper limit to 1,3V?

Does it have the effect of increasing the life of the CPU?
 
You might also want to look at the polling speed of your monitoring software. I did not notice if you increased the speed on the video, but if that's real time, your wasting cpu cycles with such a fast polling speed.
 
Ive always had static speeds and volts. Its a very old school way of doing things though.

Is deffo more stable when really raging the clocks though.
 
I set 1.275 Vcore manully @ 4.5 Ghz
And don't know why it jumping to 1.336V in HW Monitor

Could You look guys at the following BIOS settings?
