Friend Needs i7-6700k OC Help

He put 1.350v on 4.4GHz. Obviously he needs some help with it ;)

Spec's of said friend's PC

  • i7-6700k
  • x1 8GB 2133Mhz CAS 15 (told him to get another new stick, he coruppted his other)
  • Gigabyte Z170 UD3 Blue
  • MSI Aero 980Ti Hybrid.

 So he has also gone through a RX 480 and HOF 980. Being dumb he Over volted the RX480 (I hated that one out the 2)

 And the 980 sadly had "magnetic interference" as I like to a call it.

 

Can you help me with this problems? I don't know anything about Gigabyte, and I told him, "Don't try to reach 5.1GHz you have no chance."

I appreciate all hp given, no, he doesn't want to delid.

Why? Unless he is really unlucky with his chip, he shouldn't need 1.35v for 4.4ghz. He should be able to hit that without changing the voltage at all and leaving it on auto.

 

Why is he trying to overclock it?

Why would he try and reach 5.1GHz - an almost 30% overclock - if he's already at 1.35V at only 4.4GHz - only a 10% OC from the base clock of 4.0GHz?

No, I told him not to do 1.350 at 4.4GHz, that's extremely dumb. I'm looking for 4.7 if not 4.8

Not surprised that he doesnt trust you, because of what you've got.

 

Shouldnt overclockers dial up the multiplier 1 by 1, or at 100MHz intervals?

Get him to try 4.4GHz at 1.25v. Then if it is stable bump up to 4.5GHz, then 4.6GHz, etc. If he needs to bump up the voltage go as high as 1.3v, but you probably shouldn't need to go any higher than that.

Also 8GB of 2133MHz RAM probably isn't the best. 16GB kit of 3000Mhz would probably see some improvements for him.

Told him to do that. And told him to get more RAM, and he can OC the RAM he has to 3ghz
