need a guide to overclock the i5 6600 with asrock h170 pro4/hyer

[thdang]

Cooler would be thermalright spirit 120BW Rev.A and RAM is kingston hyper X fury ddr4 2133

You cant, you have a locked CPU and a H170 motherboard. To overclock, you need a Z170 motherboard and an unlocked  K CPU (I5 6600K).

the asrock mb have an idt chip and they make a custom BIOS to be able to overclotk the non K chịp

I aware that it is possible to overclock locked i5s, but if you do: 

 

1. You lose your iGPU.

2. You lose your CPU core thermal sensors.

3. L1 cache speed is reduced by 75%.

4. You lose C-states.

5. AVX instruction set gets disabled.

It's still a bad idea - some people have bricked their CPUs by BCLK OCing

he actually can

AsRock's Hyper boards have external BCLK clock generator

 

in theory, I can't find a definitive guide

to get to 4.5Ghz:

1. Enter the BIOS
2. Go to OC Tweaker – CPU Configuration
3. Set the BCLK you need (I can't find the ring multiplier for i5 6600, should be 27) - you start at 100, so increase it by 1
4. Go to OC Tweaker – Voltage Configuration
5. Set the CPU Core Voltage to 1.325 and the the CPU Loadline Calibration to Level 1
6. Go to OC Tweaker – DRAM Configuration
7. Load the XMP Profile

ps: the cooler is not suited for OCing

what cooler should i get then ?

I believe the entire purpose of the hyper was to do the non-BLCK OC without Z170 chipset.

I do not know, try with that 1st and see how much the temps rise - if you go way over 71deg at full load you should look for a better cooler

what if i only go for 4.0 GHz then will the cooler be viable ? And i saw on tom's hardware that they testing them with a fx 8350 at 4.4 GHz using 1.4325 V and the temp is only around 50 to 60 celcius

I don't know what the temps will be, you''just have to test it for yourself

so i make a change that is to downgrade the 6600 to the 6500 and get this all in one water cooler

Is that a better one ?

it has a TDP of 150W, should would be OK

but, before you pull the trigger you need to establish a baseline OCing with your existing setup

don't go buying new stuff before you're confident the OC is working and it's stable

The TDP is 200W, and getting a better cooler mean it safer to overclock right ?

150W sais on their site: http://www.idcooling.com/Product/detail/id/75/name/ICEKIMO 120G

as for safe ... voltage might kill the CPU before it gets to thermal limits

 

and if it hits the thermal limit, it will throttle

the problem is with prolonged "exposure" to very high temperatures

tks so much dude

Keep this in mind: 

BCLK OC is very dangerous. Double check your changes as there is NO ROOM for any big mistakes. Many people have fried their cpus by bclk oc. Also, after changing the bclk, you can only see package temps as core temps are disabled (not 100% positive here tho). This can be really misleading.

Tks for the advise
