Feedback/Help w/Overclock 6600k

[Dimmizer]

Heyy LTT Community,

So awhile back I overclocked my i5 6600k to I think 4.5?  mighta been 4.3 on a Hyper Evo 212 and it worked fine for about 2-3 months then the machine became VERY slow and sluggish eventually crashing and wouldn't boot just a black screen when ever I would turn it on. I pulled the cmos battery out to reset the bios and then put it back in etc.. I've been running the machine now since then maybe a year ago or so and it works perfectly Lately I've been messing around with the idea of overclocking again just cause.. I bought the K variant so why not overclock even if it's just a lil.. If I wasn't gonna overclock I shoulda done the 6500 is my thought process behind all this.

Anyways.. so I have a ASUS z170-A Motherboard and I used the ASUS AI Suit and let it auto tune to it's desire.

Now going back into this I was wanting to ask.. the ASUS Ai Suit thing lets me do per core overclocks or all cores.. I did per core last time I think but what's the difference and which ones better? I'm still SUPER noob when it comes to overclocks I just know raising voltages to stupid levels is a sure way to fry shit..  Just mainly looking for feedback/suggestions before I go through with it again this time and hopfully get some good tips.. as for the last time I overclock idk what happen it just eventually crashed.. temps were fine CPU even during gaming never went above 64ish? or so.. idk. maybe 70 on a hot day here but it's winter here now and wont be summer again till about next July by then I hope to have an H100i or something..

aight any ideas anyone?

If you start crashing you either need to bring the core clock back down to when it was stable or you can increase the voltage and push it higher.

What about Per Core or All Cores? Which ones better or does it matter? the ASUS software automaticlly does a lot of this stuff for me really.. obviously it didnt do the best job so looks like ima have to do some stuff manually but what's the pros/cons of Per Core or All Cores?

No no no, you don't use auto OC features. They are bad. Very bad. Turn that shjt off.

 

OC it manually and it'll avoid problems. Take an afternoon, read about Skylake OCing, watch some videos and then manually tune your PC. It's not really hard to do. Once you've gotten a grasp at what to do, just ask here "hey, Imma try doing this" to make sure you got it right and then go for it.

LOL! okay lol so then what do I change the baseclock or boostclock? or do I change both? and what about memory timings n stuff cause I know if I change CPU then I have to change memory..
