Anyone still active ocing skylake? Needed some help here.

I just setup 6700k with Asrock 170M Pro4. But it seems that i cant oc it to 4.5ghz. I have set the multiplier to 45 in bios, voltage at 1.35v. But in windows, it still said my proc is at 4.0ghz. Or am i doing it wrong? This is my first time ocing skylake.

Set multiplier at 45. Other setting untouched.

Manually set voltage to 1.35v.

And, what whats bothering me is the temp. In bios the temp already reach 64c. But, in windows i check with HWMonitor and Speccy, the temp is around 38c during idle.

Booted in windows

Do a CPU LOAD test and see whether CPU-Z shows 4.5Ghz.

Thanks for the reply. I run stress test on cpuz. Within 5 minutes of testing, it crashed. Wonder is it bcoz of the temp?

I'm using custom loop with 360mm rad. GPU temp seems quite cool. Probably i didnt tighten the wb enough? Or the temp is not accurate? hmm.gif

Oh btw, the proc is running at 4.5ghz rite? Coz confuse with one showing the correct speed @_@

To be able to see your CPU operating at the desired frequency (4.5GHz in your case), change your power plan to "High Performance":
[attachmentid=9131813]

Use CPU-Z to to check your CPU frequency.
Use Core Temp to monitor your CPU core temperatures.
Alternatively, HWInfo64 can be used to monitor both CPU speed and temperatures etc.
Download links available in the top post of this thread.

System crashing has many possibilities, check the BSOD message.
It could be due to overheat, wrong BIOS settings or insufficient voltages (vCore, vDIMM, VCCIO, VCCSA etc).
Most probably is insufficient vCore that feeds voltage to the CPU.
I saw your're using Load-line Calibration (LLC) level 4, which could cause too much vDroop (load vCore is too low). Perhaps you should try the lower level to reduce vDroop, best would be level 1 (minimum vDroop).
If LLC level 1 still crashing, then you should increase your vCore, notch by notch until your system is fully stable.

Ahhh, now i can see the clock speed at 4.5ghz after changing the power plan. Thanks for the tip. I also manage to stress the cpu (using cpuz only) for about 10 minutes with temp around 71-73c. Didnt proceed to with other test as i'm a bit worried bcoz my psu is only bronze rated (evga 500w). Will do a proper test when i managed to upgrade the psu.

Easy right? Haha you're welcome bro biggrin.gif
Btw, CPU-Z is not a CPU stressing tool, not even a good software for benchmark.
Run Prime95, LinX, OCCT (these 3 very stressful and too hot), AIDA64 Stability Test (less stressful), XTU, Realbench, etc.

Quite easy playing with multiplier only. But, havent found sweet spot yet.

A little update. So, i changed my psu to Leadex 650w silver and running Prime95 at stock clock just to test whats the temp at full load @ stock clock. Quite shocking as the temp already reach 80C during 15 minutes of blend test blink.gif Is that normal for stock clock to reach that high temp? i'm using custom loop (360mm magicool rad with tt riing fan).
