Overclocking For All

[JimmyDeans]

So I have a i7 6700K at it is slightly unstable at 4.6 at 1.405V the occasional crash in only BF1 is it the game or should I push the voltage more? Temps arent a problem.

MY i7 6700k runs @4.6 ghz  @1.31v in BF1. That is not the voltage. Check your GPU.

Try 1.41mV, if it doesn't stick, dial back to 4.5Ghz

1080 at 1080P its good its always a WHEA UNCORRECTABLE ERROR so I know its at CPU thing. The 1080 only hits like 40% usage and there is no overclock

I wouldn't really push beyond 1.4v too much. Either you have a really bad luck and got a very bad chip for overclocking or it's something else that causes that, because most 6700K's should OC to 4.6 without even breaking the 1.35v value.

What is your cache ratio? If it is 4100mhz. Do it 4000mhz.

According to @DunePilot, you should be able to get that CPU to 4.7Ghz without much trouble. I'm sure he'll help you out.

I don't think that he got a very bad chip.  It has a different reason. BF1  is not so heavy cpu Load game.

Don't get your panties in a wad over another thread. Plenty of people get 4.7 on air and 4.8 on water....

Relax, I'm just makeing a joke. No hate intended.

You don't have to oc if you play bf1.

Use LLC: It allows you to be stable using less voltage. I need 1.38v to be stable at 4.6ghz but then I turned on LLC and now I'm at 1.345v for 4.6 GHz.

LLC is good, Vdroop is bad.

An OC is just reliant on a good motherboard and cooling as it is on the chip. If one of those isn't up to par then a CPU may never hit its true max. That said... most $150 motherboards will get you excellent results, don't misinterpret that as me saying someone needs to go buy a $500 motherboard or a $1000 loop.

I OC for my video production and I dont want to turn off the OC and plus it somewhat bottlenecks my SSD.

Holy crap man, are you trying to fry the chip, most everyone outside of the Liquid Nitrogen or Phase Change guys wouldn't dare take Skylake over 1.35V dial it back man, 4.5 at 1.29V (what I was able to achieve) is more then enough, you will NEVER see the performance of that last 100 megahertz.

you can go 1.4v on skylake with no problems 1.35 is more around haswell and haswell-e safe voltage zone

My MSI M5 I believe does not have a LLC option MSI only shows it for the M7.

I know it's unlikely, I just listed that as a possibility.

Why do you think that? I'm more than positive that the last 100 or 200 MHz will make no difference

It sits at stock 4 and it takes about 5 seconds for the windows spinning thing and if I overclock to 4.6 it instantly starts after the bios is done handing everything off to windows

Hey the MSI M5 Mobos bios does not have this option anywhere any tips?

Welp iturned down the voltage alot and now Im hitting 4.7 like a breeze. Thanks guys but I figured it out.
