So, I finished my rig a few days ago and decided to OC a bit.
(temps are not too much of an issue, since I'm running a Corsair H100i v2 and have to replace the thermal compound in a while anyway)
Currently running my 6600k at 4.6ghz at 1.308-1.344 vcore (at least that's what the bios and other tools tell me it is).
I've done a bit of research, and in going for 4.5+ghz, normally forcing the vcore to 1.3ish just doesn't make it stable (and it is (at stable but a bit hotter at 4.6ghz when i manually force it to 1.38vcore in bios)
On the other hand, when i change the vcore via offset instead, I get rock solid 4.6 with 1.332vcore reported via cpu-z and hwmonitor and bios.
From what I noticed, the bios set vcore is a bit higher than what the bios and other tools report, so should I be worried?
I have not changed any other voltages/timings/settings besides enabling XMP, moving the multiplier to 46-47, changing the fclk multi, and locking ram voltage to 1.2.
Am I missing anything? (due to the lack of board settings, I cannot manually fix vdroop to a certain value, if that is an issue)
I don't intend to push beyond 1.4vcore (better if I can get 4.7-4.8, but I'll get there when I get there)
