New Overclocker Questions

[multitalent02]

i7-6700k
asus z-170a
vengeance lpx 3200mhz ddr4 2x8gb (16gb)
cooler master hyper 212 evo

Eh, few questions since this is my first time overclocking -

in my bios i put 100 x 47 - 1.35v for CPU
3200mhz 1.35 for my RAM

i guess since i don't know what i'm looking for i was hoping to get some tips - i have read a lot of forum posts already but still have a little hard of a time grasping this 🙁

what should i be looking for? when my frequency bounces around in core temp does that mean it's unstable? will it permanently stay at a frequency when it is stable? is my ram set up correctly for 3200mhz with 2 sticks? do i need to move them in my mobo to different slots? should i decrease the voltage on anything? should i decrease the multiplier to 46?

sorry in advance.

Your RAM is currently running at 3200mhz. It displays in CPU-Z as Frequency/2; so in your case 1600mhz.

As for the frequency going up and down. This is because you have speed step enabled in the BIOS, the motherboard changes voltage->frequency to match the load dynamically on the cores to save power. This is normal and I would advise you to turn it off whilst trying to reach a stable overclock. The only time you want to worry about this is if the cores are getting too hot, then this would be thermal throttling.
