Did you touch the voltage at all?
If so, try bumping it up in small increments, youre probably pushing the core multiplier too far without feeding the chip more voltage that it needs to achieve the higher clocks
Hey, I've got an ASUS Z170-A motherboard, an i5-6600K and the Cooler Master 212 Evo cooler and was looking to overclock. I've overclocked way back with my 2600K but haven't since and was looking for some advice. I looked at a lot of guides online and saw that a 4.6GHz overclock is pretty reasonable and that most chips could just set the multiplier to 46 and be good to go but my computer became insanely unstable. I kept getting various BSOD no matter what I did and as soon as I removed the overclock everything was fine again (I've never personally seen that happen).
I saw that ASUS recommends to turn off SVID when overclocking so I was wondering if their are any specific settings that my motherboard has that I should definitely disable when overclocking? Guides are great but they never go too in-depth on what settings to turn off or definitely keep on. I don't really want to get a super high overclock, just high enough to get some more out of the chip. Thanks!
