Guys do you know if the guide pinned can be applied for ocing i7 6600k on Z170 HD3 DDR3? Just moved from i7 860 3.66 @ 1.152v after 7 years. Looking to add 1-2Ghz on Dark Rock Pro 3 but i am unsure if DDR3 will be a showstopper since voltage is higher at 1.5v

QUOTE(owikh84 @ Sep 27 2015, 08:27 PM) I thought GIGABYTE Z170-HD3 only supports DDR4. Basically regardless of the brand the overclocking steps would be more or less the same but every CPU is unique, means each chip requires different CPU-related voltages, different strength of integrated memory controller (IMC) resulting in different memory overclock ability and ram-related voltages. i5 6600K has 3.5GHz base clock and peaks at 3.9GHz with Turbo, generally can be overclocked to 4.3-4.4GHz stable on air cooling (depending on chip of course and cooler). There is a DDR3 version for HD3 mobo. Using CL9 1600 hyperx savage 8gbx2. Managed to get i5 6600k running 4.3GHz @1.27 using 20% preset overclock profile (gigabyte performance upgrade) Reaching 62C on full load running small FFT on prime95 v28.5 after 1 hour without error.. No linpack or IBT to further testing. Arma 3 and watch dogs running fine so far. Will perform manual oc instead of using current preset to get better optimized system.
