Ok, I recently got my first intel kit. It's the 6700k, gigabyte z170x gaming 7 and of course G.Skill Memory - Trident Z 3400mhz c16d 16 -.
Coming from AMD FX I was used to having DOCP, it works easily and gives great performance.
Now, while I wait for my new parts to come I've been reading up on Skylake, and some information has left me concerned, would be very thankfull for insights.
It seems that motherboards to achieve 3400 mhz will raise the BCLK by a tiny bit, which will make the CPU run faster as well as the RAM.
To run XMP profile they will also bring the RAM to 1.35 volts.
If I have to run the memory at 2133 mhz I'll be just as happy with it, it's still leagues faster then my old DDR3.
Ok, so I'd like to know if usually, running this moderate overclock is considered safe. Also if running the 1.35 volts on the IMC of the intel CPU will bring any dangers to it. Is the wear on the die enough to worry about? I'm not really going to do any overclock on the multi, but would like to keep my RAM running as fast as I can.
Thanks!
