Stability issues while stressing a very mild overclocked i7 6700k (I have tried raising voltage)

Stability issues while stressing a very mild overclocked i7 6700k (I have tried raising voltage)

I am having problems trying to oc my cpu (i7 6700k 4.2) every time I raise the frequency even to 4.4 and I run a stress test with p95 I get errors in some of the workers and yes I have tried raising the voltage even to 1.3V which I think is a lot for a 0.2 overclock on this processor.
My noob guess is that I have some kind of power management settings enabled that are creating conflict with this parameters.


Can anyone give me some advice about how to solve this problem?

By the way this is my build up:


Intel - Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor

CPU Cooler: Thermaltake - Water 3.0 Ultimate 99.0 CFM

Gigabyte - GA-Z270X-Gaming 5 ATX LGA1151

G.Skill - Trident Z 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200

Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State

Toshiba - 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard

MSI - GeForce GTX 1080 8GB GAMING X 8G Video

EVGA - SuperNOVA G3 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power



Thanks a lot for your help

Have you tried to reset your bios and only edit voltage and multiplier? This board has huge Vdrop on load around 0.06V so make sure you set your LLC to high. Check VCORE voltage readings in windows under load.

Hi

Sorry if my questions are too basic but I started overclocking a week ago and I have learned lots of things but still terminology and certain processes seem very complicated to me.

1) Regarding resetting BIOS: I did click on “reset to default optimized settings” (I believe that’s resetting the BIOS). After this I only touch voltage, multiplier and enabled XMP profile raising the velocity of my ram to 3200mhz.
2) I am not very sure about what you mean by LLC I suppose it is a parameter under advanced voltage settings at the BIOS right?

By the way thanks for the reply

Are you stable when not attempting to overclock?

Are you stable when not attempting to overclock?

Yes I have run all kinds of benchmarks and stress tests (not for more than 30 minutes though) and no problems at all, temps are also perfectly fine.

When you say "temps are also perfectly fine", what are your stress load temperatures at stock settings under P95?

Maximum temps are around 60 - 63 C wich I think that are very good temps. Are they?

Hi

Sorry if my questions are too basic but I started overclocking a week ago and I have learned lots of things but still terminology and certain processes seem very complicated to me.

1) Regarding resetting BIOS: I did click on “reset to default optimized settings” (I believe that’s resetting the BIOS). After this I only touch voltage, multiplier and enabled XMP profile raising the velocity of my ram to 3200mhz.
2) I am not very sure about what you mean by LLC I suppose it is a parameter under advanced voltage settings at the BIOS right?

I'm a little concerned since you just started overclocking a week ago as a lot of the overclocking terminology is going to go over your head and you're not going to fully understand what you are doing even if you are directed straight to the settings in the BIOS.

I strongly suggest you take some time and research overclocking and learn what you're doing before you attempt to do it.

Start here first: http://www.overclock.net/t/1570313/skylake-overclocking-guide-with-statistics

Then compare notes with others that may possibly have the same hardware here: http://www.overclock.net/t/1568663/intel-skylake-owners-club

They're great for stock temperatures but when you begin adding voltage to support an increased CPU clock speed, you'll see those temperature numbers increase quickly.

Check out the links I provided you, if you start building a solid overclocking knowledge base, you'll know the answers to your questions, be patient and learn first and then do, or you could possibly damage your hardware.

You are completly right And I thought about it before.
I will reset and put everything on default and read before touching anything.

In my BIOS there is only one option for setting everything on default and it says “reset to default optimized settings” I am guessing thats just the normal default right?
One more question would you leave XMP profile enable while I am not overclocking?

Thanks a lot for the help

Yes and Yes. Ry
