Gigabyte Overclocking HELP

Hey everyone,

 

Have a little issue with my overclock validation. I am running a i5 6600k on a gigabyte G1 sniper b7 mobo. When I apply my overclock of 3.9Ghz and 1.275v in bios shows up after reboot but when I attempt to validate it within windows 10 pro on CPUZ or Adia64 it shows me a 3.5Ghz turboing at 3.6Ghz in my stress test. Cinabench is showing 3.5Ghz.

 

After calling gigabyte tech support. They told me that gigabyte does not guarantee ANY overclock. And does not support any third party programs to validate your overclock. I'm at a loss for words

 

Please help!

Hmm. Did you run cinebench before and after? If the score goes up your overclock is actually there. If not, well then, you have a bigger problem. I'd just try reinstalling the socket drivers. Or try windows if that doesn't work.

Try tweaking the voltage up very slowly, like .015 at a time see if that helps. The voltage just seems kinda low for such a high overclock considering its an 6th gen i5.

Wait, is THIS your mobo?

 

If so, then there's your answer: your mobo doesn't support overclocking. Your CPU does, but the mobo does not.
