i5-6400 wont overclock again

[lilywhiteffs]

Ok so i successfully overclocked my i5-6400 to 4.2ghz on the ASrock z170 pro4s board 

but had to turn off the overclock when i didnt have a graphics card in for a few days now 

when i try to overclock with the same settings and bios as before it just makes my clock speed 

stay on 2.6 

 

any thoughts that could help

Why? I know that Intel send i new code to Partners. If you updated your Bios, non k oc is gone. Buy a k cpu like we all do for oc.

If it was me..and experienced this...I would check/memorize the bios then revert your bios to "default" with a hotkey (check manual or bios) and then go through it settings it up accordingly again and check results.

 

If not already done.
