Amazing! ASUS MAXIMUS VIII EXTREME has more than 50 memory presets for the major IC vendors including Samsung, Hynix and Micron, so that you can have a start point for RAM tweaking.

ASRock Z170 OCF in da house...

Together with G.SKILL Ripjaws V DDR4, ASRock Z170 OCF is such a great overclocking board specially designed by world's best overclocker Nick Shih!





DDR4 4000 MHz is easy on AIR and should be able go higher with further tweaking:



Highest SPI 32m stable clock is 3866MHz 19-20-20-42-2T @ 1.55v on AIR:


More to come...

6700K @ 5.0GHz

Nice try bro but what motherboard are you using?
You should also try the latest version of LinX posted in the post #1:

LinX 0.6.5 (11.3.0.004)

ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming + Intel 6700K @ 5.0GHz

yeah, this OEM chip is a dud.
I also have a retail 6700K which also doesn't seem to perform better than this one
RIP my luck

ASUS Z170i Pro Gaming mini-ITX






Core i7 6700K @ 5.0GHz


G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4 3000C15 @3,866 MHz 19-20-20-36-2T @ 1.45v


4,000 MHz 19-25-25-42-840-2T @ 1.50V (Dual channel)

No need, because this is ES chip haha

Testing Memory preset in ASRock Z170 OCF (BIOS v1.90)



G.Skill Ripjaws V 3000C15 @ 3733MHz 16-19-19-28-1T @ 1.5V

For Skylake, the uncore/cache voltage is now combined together with the vCore or in other word 1:1 ratio.
No more cache/ring bus voltage like in the pass.

entahlah... sudah 3 hari belum nampak aksi 7700K lg

Cinebench @ 1.248v:


AIDA64 System Stability Test @ 1.264v:

Power saving features such as EIST and C-states should be disabled while you’re overclocking.
Enabling these features while overclocking might cause some stability issues especially voltages.

Are you referring to my Cinebench temp bro?
Cinebench is not so stressful actually hence the low temp.
AIDA64 stability test gave me 80-90c @ 5.0GHz 1.264v

Nah, it's all draw of luck bro.
Same batch doesn't mean they have similar OC capability.
For instance, many said L639 batch was generally great while there are a few other people saying they had a lot of bad L639 chips.

Each person might have different opinion/acceptance criteria when it comes to "safe" temperatures & voltages.

Some might be worried about chip degradation when overclocking with excessive voltages for a long period of time.

For me, keep the core temperatures lower than TJmax of 100 degrees Celsius and you should be fine. Well, nowadays most motherboards come with over-temperature protection feature so your CPU Is not going to be killed so easily.

Happy Chinese New Year and enjoy overclocking...

Delid will reduce the core temps by 15-20C.

Nice try but one minute Prime95 won't suffice.
Pretty sure the core temps will shoot up drastically (at least +10C) at/after 20 minutes of priming.
Need a few hours to confirm stability, 3-6 hours etc

Prime95 is very2 stressful bro.

Custom blend of course, min/max 1344 FFTs, with full memory capacity
