After assembling & testing my new system (ASUS Z170A / i6 6600K/ Hyper 212 EVO)

I've just gone into the BIOS to overclock it (I want to play alot of CPU intensive games)

I've merely selected Sync all cores & a CPU ratio of 43 left everything else on Auto (including Voltages)

Run a couple of stress and monitoring tests (AIDA 64 & CPU ID HW monitor while running Prime 64)

Seems stable with Max temps of 64 C and max voltages of 1.248

Now I've got to say that all seems a bit easy...

Am I missing something massively obvious that I should be doing or could trip me up...

Or can I leave it now and forget about it!
