You and other [h]ard forum'ers are right. I have dropped it back down to 4.3, it's really not worth that much extra stress on my system.

Yep, it was throttling. Turns out I'm not set up to manage temps for 1.36. I have dropped it down to my 1.315 and that appears to be stable and cool-able. It gets up to 81-83 in OCCT and prime 95, but maintains the clockrate and does not throttle. Since I can pass an hour of OCCT and 8 hours...

6850k stable at 4.4ghz, 1.385v (adaptive) and LLC at 5. That's as good as it gets for my sample at 4.4. I can do 4.3 at 1.315, but that's no fun. My cooler is a NHD15, and I don't do handbrake or anything super CPU intensive besides gaming. In any game I play, the max temps are between 50...

No other air cooler is favorably comparable to D15, in my humble opinion. Also, it is worth it.

Nevermind, was off by 1ghz in my mind.

Wow, that's good to know! Why does everyone seem to build with 400+ watts over the TDP rating for their builds? Just for peace of mind? Or good marketing?

I'm running an overclocked gtx 1080 and am overclocked 6850k with two HDDs and two SSDs. Is a Rosewill Capstone 650watt 80+ gold sufficient? PCpartpicker says total system draw is 428 watts, but that is not including the overclocked (I guess?)

650watt gold rated rosewell capstone

So I have overclocked my 6850k to 4.25ghz at 1.26V and I run my 1080 at max power power 2000mhz OC. I have a 650watt 80+ gold Rosewill Capstone. Is my PSU sufficient, or do I need to replace: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3y88m8 I have carried it over from a previous, non-broadwell-e build...
