How to stop BCLK from automatically overclocking

[icynicalb]

Hello, I need help on how to stop my ASUS Z170 AURA Pro BIOS from automatically overclocking my locked i7 6700 CPU. It's up by 100Mhz all by itself and is making my temps very high considering I have the stock cooler. I've turned off XMP but it didn't work. What should I do?

can you just set your XMP to manual on your BIOS? it sounds like its on "auto" if your blck keeps switching like that. then you can set the BLCK to 100.0.

you can even just set it to XMP profile. your BLCK shouldnt change. unless youre talking about your multiplier changing based on your power phase plan.

Once I set XMP to manual, it sets BCLK to 100 and It doesn't let me turn it down.

i dont believe its possible to go lower than the base clock of 100.0. unless if you set somethingon your BIOS like spread spectrum.

Keeping it at 100 makes my temps high and I can't play games without my PC crashing. Is there anyway to turn it down to 0 in BIOS?

What cpu cooler are you using? Probably it's not installed right.
What temperatures exactly are you getting?

I have the Intel stock cooler and get average 50 degrees celsius idle and 80+ under load. Before BCLK started automatically overclocking, my temps were fine.

First of all everyone who responded to you knows this but didn't explained to you. The frequency of a cpu is obtained by the following equation BCLK x CPU Multiplier = Frequency. To obtain 4.2 Ghz it would be 100 Mhz (base BCLK) x 42(multiplier) = 4200 Mhz (4.2Ghz). To set it on 0 it means the cpu will have 0 x 42 = 0 (anything multiplied by 0 is 0). It is not possible to have 0 Base Clock or BCLK how you know it. The default BCLK non-overclock is 100 so your BCLK IS NOT OVERCLOCKED in technical words it is the standard base clock (default one), anything over 100 BCLK is considered overclock. Your problem is elsewhere, maybe cpu cooler is not properly installed or the airflow in the case is not good enough but one thing should be clear to you, BCLK is not overclocked, it is at default 100 value.

EDIT: I suggest to inform a bit more on this matter because you got things all wrong.
