6700k unstable?

[Juggern0ttt]

I'm having problems getting a stable overclock on my 6700k using a msi z170a gaming m5 board. Even a 4.5ghz at 1.375v isn't passing a 20 minute real bench. Is there something I'm missing?

bad chip? even if not a bad chip; that voltage is wayy too high

Set your LLC higher and try again

Also you may be missing good silicon ?

Temps are fine under 65c, I've tried from 1.3 flat up to 1.4 with no luck. And actually just ran out on 4.2 and it didn't pass real bench. How do I adjust llc on an msi board?

Is your ram overclock at all? It may be why it's failing. I'm not sure on msi boards sorry.

ram is at stock, did I lose the silicon lottery that hard?

I've tried everything from a flat 1.300v all the way to 1.380

Yea but if its potatoe silicon it might need that much for 4.4ghz.

 

Not saying its a good idea but 1.375v is hardly gonna blow the system. I run 1.52v to get 4.6 on my i3 which is highest maximum set by intel its fine for 3 months.

Somthing doesnt seem right tbh. Have you got another board to test the CPU on?

I was thinking so to, all I have is a h170 though other than the Z

Its actualy pretty good. Benches on par with some stock i5s with their lower freq. temps can get abit toasty though 80-90c on package ?

 

Well ill if you are failing realbench at stock it might be worth trying on the h170 and see if it passes. Might be the board..

Yeah mine at 4.5 is running on 1.325v

Yea from what I've read most Skylake i7s are hitting 4.5 with no hassle...

Yea it really should get 4.5 without to much hassle. I havnt seen one not be able to that I can think of.. maybe post pics of your bios settings somone might notice somthing odd?
