Hi there,
I just upgraded to 6700k + ASUS Sabertooth Z170 + NH-D15 and using CLU.
So in terms of overclocking I think I got a relatively good sample and I manage stable:
4.5 - 1.230
4.6 - 1.290
4.7 - 1.310
That's Vcore in BIOS, with LLC it gets somewhat higher under full load. Now, the thing is I think my temps are too high relative to others. I see 63-67 C at 4.5 at 1.230 (1.248 with LLC) and at 4.7 at 1.310 (1.344 LLC) some core exceed 80's consistently. On the other hand I see people at 1.325 staying in the 60's range. I tried re-applying CLU twice and it's not the first time I do it so I'm not putting too little or too much. Last time I also applied a layer on the heatsink as well just to be sure. At idle my temps go down to around 25C pretty much instantly but it looks like under load the cooler is unable to cope. Fans (dual fan config) do crank up to 100%.
Are my temps normal (I know every chip is different, but still)... and if not any tips? Next I think I'd give it a try with Noctua's compound to see if this makes a difference... Thanks.
PS
Considered delidding but 6700k looks so fragile that I'm scared to do it ;-)

For load testing I'm using Prime95 26.6 (no AVX/AVX2)
