Did i break my computer?

[TrueSparktron]

I was overclocking my 6700k to 5ghz cause i thought. "Well i got it to 4.8ghz with an extra half volt adding." 1.25v "could 1.28v get it to 5ghz?" No. just shut down my computer and now nothing loads. Did i break it or will it be fixed by waiting?

You've probably blown the VRM'S on the motherboard. 

[malon]

have you cleared the cmos

 

[nitsuga5124]

Clear CMOS, if there isn't a button, short the pins "CLRMOS"

[The_Denks]

Clear the CMOS.

If nothing happens after that, you probably busted your CPU

5 GHZ??????? you never jump like that.... I had 1.45v on that cpu and couldent get 4.8 stable.... 4.7 was stable but hit 90c with water cooling. I was like nope let's do 4.7 and it was stable at like 1.25v. gotta take it IN little steps when u get up there.... chances are you got lucky and just made ur board glich out like hell. reseat ram and pci devices, unplug power suplly and discharge remaining power with power button. remove cMos battery or reset cmoS and try it another day. also a word of advice 

..... I don't think 5ghz is even possible oN that cpu unless ur doing liquid nitro

rule number 1 in overclocking. Little steps.... and always remember there is always a small chance you could wreck somthing

Fixxed!!!

thanks.

also for that small steps thing. I got it to 4.8ghz stable at 1.275v. Still thanks

until you run a stress test or some applications  lol thats way too low for such a high overclock, most people have to vcore @ 1.45 for such a high OC

^ ^ This.

 

Just set the voltage to 1.35v if you have a decent cooler and then see what you can get increasing the multi and running a couple stress test each time.

People nowadays : Set ratio 48X 

Boot windows : YEAAA I got a stable OC @ 4.8 ghz my cpu is a beast
