hey guys, i need same help..
Tried to oc my i7 6700k on my asus z170 pro gaming today, but no matter what i set in bios, it just wont change a thing when checking in windows with cpu-z and core temp.. I set profile to XMP, sync all cores, multiplier to 45, core voltage to manual and 1.325v, saved settings and tadaaa, cpu-z says 4000mhz and voltage going up and down.. I tried setting power saving settings to high performance, didnt help either.. So i reset everything in bios and started from the beginning and did all step by step again following various tutorials, still wont change a thing.. im starting to tilt, any ideas?

it should never go above what you set it to, but it might be lower while there is no load. perhaps try a clear CMOS and try manual OC all over again, the fact that it is hitting 1.4V when it is set to 1.325 makes no sense.

Well i double checked my whole bios and found an Option called "turbo mode" which i set to enabled and now its working.. confusing because literally no other person on the internet had to enable that option to make oc work

Turboboost generally does a moderate overclock, not enable overclocking. but hey if it works and the voltages are reasonable, then no harm done.

well thats the next weird part.. i set voltage to manual mode in bios to 1.325 and in cpu-z its no stable at all.. varies from 1.35 to 1.41 going up and down.. when I stress test it it goes down to ~1.34.. but shouldnt it be stable at what i set it to in manual mode?
