I just got an i5 10600k, chose the k version to boost it a little as it looked promising in a lot of benchmarks I looked at for gaming keeping up with the i9, etc. I'm using an ASrock extreme z490, 3200 Corsair vengeance rgb RAM with a 650-watt PSU. I have tried almost every combination of settings I can think of. At first, I tried a 5.0 GHz overclock with a 1.34V vCore and left the motherboard to its own devices for LLC control (auto) like the tom's guide said. This is an example of another one I tried.

  • 49x All-core ratio
  • 47x Cache Ratio
  • Vcore 1.365 (fixed mode)
  • VCCIO 1.20v
  • VCCSA 1.20v
I keep getting BSOD under load with any setting I try such as these three: PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA, driver_irql_not_less_or_equal, and system service exception. If I don't fix it I will be sending it back, the whole reason I decided to get a K version. CPUID is showing no code name, brand ID, core voltage, and saying the multiplayer is 170x. Max stock speed is 4.5ghz under load Thanks

This doesn't look normal to me. Its now showing a Name, Code Name, Brand ID, Package, core voltage, multiplier as x171 and a bus speed of 23.98mhz. This is just out of the box, it's only running with a max stock speed of 4.5ghz under load when intel advertise as 4.8? Just out of curiosity I tried to oc but just the same results and a BSOD
4.5 is the all core turbo speed, 4.8 is for a single core load turbo speed.
