Nice Owi.....try BIOS F5d with some memory improvements....

Later this month, I getting Z170X-SOC Force, which is not coming in Malaysia shops.....

Edit:
Hope Ideal Tech will have DDR4 TridentZ Series 2x4GB above 3200.

GIGABYTE Z170X-Gaming G1
G.Skill Ripjaws V 3000C15 @ 3600MHz 18-19-19-36-2T





Need to fix that efficiency though. Yet I'm still at 1.35v and with the old F4h BIOS.

New F5d BIOS is awesome. 3600MHz boots easier than ever, efficiency is improved a lot here.

The temp is negative... until you watch til the end, it's for laughs...

Ok decided.

Doing a

New BIOS:
GA-Z170X-Gaming G1 - F5i

Benching MAXIMUS VIII EXTREME + Ripjaws V DDR4 3000C15...





6700K @ 5.0GHz:


Max BCLK @ 410 MHz:

All i can do here is envy...my 6700k refuse to go anywhere past 4.3, that thing runs windows fine at 4.8 but any stress test above 4.3 stopped in 3 minutes no matter what voltage i put.

Mind to share your OC settings and what software you used for stressing?
Most 6700K chips should be able to do at least 4.5GHz, max out at 4.7/4.8GHz before thermal throttling.

I cant remember much, but for 4.5 ghz I have tried 1.32v to 1.46v with increment of 0.2v each time.

Stress test using AIDA64 says I have a hardware failure each time after around 2 minutes, so I tried Prime95, which crashes my PC almost instantly each time, I finally went for a gentler Intel XTU, even trying to benchmark using XTU crashes my PC with a CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT error which usually indicates not enough voltage, but I figure that if this PC cant even go past 4.5 with 1.46 then it's not worth my time and electricity to OC.

1.46v is way too much for a 6700K OC @ 4.5GHz. Probably worst chip that I've ever heard of so far (sorry).
It could be improper settings as well in the BIOS so you better check it out again.

My BIOS settings for 6700K OC @ 4.5GHz look like this: http://www.ocdrift.com/review-gigabyte-z170x-gaming-g1/3/



Core: 100x45
Uncore: 100x45
vCore: 1.325v (1.320v at full load)
LLC: Turbo
Memory: XMP (3000MHz C15-15-15-35-2T)
VRAM: 1.35v
VCCSA: Auto (1.05v)
VCCIO: Auto (0.95v)
EIST: disabled
C-state: disabled

Going to check if I missed something, maybe this weekends, when I'm not working, I might forgot something as the last time I OC, it was several years ago with a 2500k.

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.

Jaw drop

This thing is a bomb, look at that BCLK
Though, I'm very looking forward for the VIII Impact.

Just arrived.....

ASRock Z170 OCF in da house...
