i5 6500 overclock fail

[zacwhite15]

hey guys, so i am trying to do a BCLK OC on my i5. even though the settings hold and the system boots into windows, when i pull up HWiNFO, CPU-Z and even HWMonitor they all show it's still running at stock speeds. has anyone else experienced this?

 

i even tried bumping it to just 101 and it still doesn't stick.

 

my config:

i5-6500

Gigabyte GA-Z170N-Wifi (Bios rev F7f)

16GB Crucial DDR4 PC-17000

Samsung PM851 256GB M.2

IN-WIN MS04-S2-S265 MiniITX Server Case

it's going to run at stock until it needs to turbo.

Plus doing a BCLK OC takes more trial and error but it is achievable

i actually disabled the turbo since i have had issues with that in the past with OC'ing. right now with its current setup in the bios it should be running at atleast 3.26 (i know its a incredibly small increase)

use aida64 and see if the it goes over the stock speed.

ya no matter what i do, the bclk just wont stick. even if it successfully boots and the bios says 101 or 102 it still stays at 100.

quite odd.

check the microcode, it should say 55 if its not you could be clock blocked already.   Also for this to work you should probably be seeing c states disabled in hw64  

[zacwhite15]

i got it figured out, i had to go back to F6 on the bios. F7 screwed up OC features.

nice be careful id expect a microcode update soon, dont know what will happen if you boot the oc with the newer microcode, ive already read of one i5 6500 getting fried.  i got just under 4.5 ghz with  1.35 volts on mine
