Cpu Core Voltage Override wont let me adjust! Help

[mathewh]

So I've gotten into overclocking my i5 6600k. I've been watching reviews and such before starting and for a step by step process of it, but when I go to adjust my CPU Core Voltage Over ride, it wont let me. Its set at 1.300 and I try to put it up to around 1.345 or 1.350, but as soon as I click off of it it goes right back to 1.300. So since I couldn't adjust it, Im overclocking on Auto, which I know isn't good. Does anyone know why I can't adjust the voltage? Right now I have my cpu overclocked at 4.8ghz with auto voltage and this is what im getting while gaming

I don't know if the voltage is too low or if this is bad, so could someone help me? I've been gaming for a while and its been stable, 0 hiccups so far. Just worried that the voltage is too low or something isnt right. If someone could help that would be greatly appreciated.
*edit* forgot to mention, I have an asus z170 motherboard.

What is your motherboard?

I don't know which motherboard that are using, but my guess is that you have one of the options set to auto instead of manual. The only other scenario that I can think of is if the value that you entered was out of range.


What are your system components?

Here is a step by step guide to overclock a i-6600k processor on an Asus z170 with screen shots.

You should be able to enter the uefi and change the AI overclock tuner to manual then sync all cores (from core ratio). Set your desired multiplier then scroll down to find the cpu core voltage setting set it to manual and on cpu voltage override you should be able to set 1.3V

I know i've done all that, but when I go to cpu voltage its set to 1.3v and I cant change it, it just always resets. Is the voltage its at now @4.8ghz too low or is it perfectly fine? Havent had any issues though but sort of new to this.

Tbh You need to run atleast 1hr Aida64 Stress Test/Real Bench Stress test and see what temps and voltages you hit (you should stay under 1.4V vcore and 80C) and are you even stable. If everything pass ok you should be fine if not I gonna advice you to try updating the bios to the latest version available.
