Look, I have been trying to overclock my new build. i7 6700k with the ASRock z170 MB and H115i cooler. I had it at 4.6ghz but I checked with 4 different programs and all of them were different showing different volts and different speeds and very different temps?

Even on 4.0ghz on full load gets to 70c but on idle never gets over 25 degrees... ?????????

I don't know what to believe. I had it going up to 90 degrees which is bullsh*t for a H115i cooler. Not sure it was true. The BIOS, I took the computer into the store since it was faulty at the start but they just fixed what they could and gave it back to me but it reads 50 degrees @ idle. The back of the motherboard seemed cool so it can't be right but what do I resort to? Just opening things on my desktop it jumps to 60c then down to 30 then 20 then 50... I don't want to fry my build but nothing is reading correct.

I am also experiencing alot of freezing like 10 a day. Even from the beginning. I am even just scrolling in BIOS and bam it freezes. I even let it idle with no programs on and 5 mins later after i got some food or something. No response from mouse or keyboard and monitor is frozen. WTF do i do!

Same issue with my last build it went away after a year and I get no help from IT shops since they say they don't experience it? Is it the air in my room like come on. I always am stuck with issues.

I can leave it stress testing for hours and its fine but just small tasks like going though BIOS just opening pages in the BIOS freezes it. Honestly makes no fuc*en sense.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

If I were you, I would reset the bios, re-overclock it and remembering vital steps such as turning off power saving mode in bios etc etc. Then, use only one hardware monitoring tool as opening too many may clash with each other and affect the accuracy. I like to use HWMonitor.
