Posted February 2, 2017 Hello guys, i've overclocked my 6700k by increasing the ratio from 40 to 46. In windows when i run CPU-Z it shows me that the max ratio is 46 and when i run stress test my CPU is working on 4600 MHz, but in BIOS on the right side panel the numbers are still like the stock ones. I have updated my BIOS to the latest one but didn't get any changes. It's my first overclocking experience and i am a bit confused. Does anyone knows what is this and how to fix it? Is it a big problem or that's how it should be?

Posted February 2, 2017 That's normal. The Core Speed and Multiplier is what you want to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the main point, it's not changing in the BIOS after overclocking, but in the same time in windows the overclocking pops up CPU: i7 6700k @ 4.6GHz MOBO: Asus MAXIMUS VIII HERO GPU: GTX1080 Inno3D Ichill x4 RAM: 2x16 Corsair Vengeance LED 3000Mhz Mouse: Razer Deathadder Elite Keyboard: Razer Blackwidow Chroma Headset: Razer Kraken Forged Edition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be running at 4.6 if CPU-Z shows it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see on the right side the speeds of CPU are stock ones, but on the top in target section it's hardly visible but it sais 4600 MHz, allthough the RAM shows the changes on the right side CPU: i7 6700k @ 4.6GHz MOBO: Asus MAXIMUS VIII HERO GPU: GTX1080 Inno3D Ichill x4 RAM: 2x16 Corsair Vengeance LED 3000Mhz Mouse: Razer Deathadder Elite Keyboard: Razer Blackwidow Chroma Headset: Razer Kraken Forged Edition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 2, 2017 I have the same board and a 6600k and pretty sure mine shows the same, it doesn't look like its actually done anything but looking at CAM and CPU-Z I can see maximum clock speed of around 4.6 Ghz Intel i5 6600k @ 4.5GHz | NZXT Kraken X52 | Asus Maximus VIII Hero | Asus ROG Strix GTX 1070 | 16GB DDR4 Corsair Dominator Platinum @ 3200MHz | CoolerMaster MasterCase 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 2, 2017 Same here with a Z170-A and a 6700k. BIOS says target frequency 4000Mhz, but it actually is at 4600Mhz CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X PBO GPU: Asus Strix RTX 3090 OC Mobo: Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master RAM: 32GB G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3600Mhz CL17 CPU Cooler: Corsair H150i Capillex Storage: Samsung 980 Pro and 970 Evo 1TB Samsung 860 EVO 1TB Crucial MX300 525GB WD Black 2TB PSU: Corsair HX1000 Case: Corsair 500D SE RGB 6x LL120 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 2, 2017 How bizarre, I thought it was just a weird bug with my board and ignored it Intel i5 6600k @ 4.5GHz | NZXT Kraken X52 | Asus Maximus VIII Hero | Asus ROG Strix GTX 1070 | 16GB DDR4 Corsair Dominator Platinum @ 3200MHz | CoolerMaster MasterCase 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 2, 2017 Author so everyone has this problem on ASUS Z170 chipset boards? i took a few more pictures closer (my phone is not my pride) and you can see if your boards have the same problem CPU: i7 6700k @ 4.6GHz MOBO: Asus MAXIMUS VIII HERO GPU: GTX1080 Inno3D Ichill x4 RAM: 2x16 Corsair Vengeance LED 3000Mhz Mouse: Razer Deathadder Elite Keyboard: Razer Blackwidow Chroma Headset: Razer Kraken Forged Edition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 2, 2017 yeah seems we do, pretty sure mine looks very similiar to that (45 or 46 in each one, sync all cores etc) from what I can remember, I can confirm when I get home if you like. But CAM tells me I hit 4.6GHz at full load Intel i5 6600k @ 4.5GHz | NZXT Kraken X52 | Asus Maximus VIII Hero | Asus ROG Strix GTX 1070 | 16GB DDR4 Corsair Dominator Platinum @ 3200MHz | CoolerMaster MasterCase 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
