Hello,
I have a new build: Gigabyte Z170X Gaming-7, i5 6500 (non-k), Corsair HX620 PSU, 2400 dual channel ram, good cooling system. I followed this guide to overclock the non-k CPU: http://overclocking.guide/gigabyte-z170-non-k-overclocking-guide/
I installed the proper bios, enabled XMP, and was careful to keep my memory frequency under 2400. However, almost every single change to the baseclock or CPU Vcore resulted in a boot failure and kicked me back into Bios. The MOST I could do and get to Windows was raise the base clock from 100 to 102 (3.2GHz to 3.26), and voltage from 1.155 to 1.215. Any higher on the base clock (e.g. 103) or CPU Vcore resulted in a “boot failure” screen. I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong because it seems silly that just a small change would cause boot failure.
I would really appreciate the help if anyone has any ideas!
