Hello,
Could You Help me with bad OC on 6600K ?
Currently Im running on @4.3 GHz 4.3 Cache LLC 1 with + 75 mV
It is stable. But max oc I can reach is 4,4 with 1.33V.
MOBO: AsRock Extreme 4
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2800 MHz (2x*8GB) running on 3200 MHZ CL14

CPU is delidded - cooler is Silentium PC Fortis 2 - temps @4.3 GHz - around 60 C

Hello, you could try setting the voltage to auto and install cpu-z to see what the system requires after overclocking and attempt to lower it if the voltage is too high and see if it is still stable.(link to portable version http://www.cpuid.com/downloads/cpu-z/cpu-z_1.78-en.zip)
You may set the multiplier/ratio to 45 although this will likely raise the voltage to an unsafe level and from threads I've read it's recommended to keep the VCore below 1.4V.
You can also try to up the BCLK speed as well as a 44 CPU ratio however you would have to keep track of the memory speed and timings and changing the BCLK frequency may screw things up. If you can easily reset the BIOS/CMOS then you may up the BCLK frequecny to 105 and keep the CPU ratio...

If you can easily reset the BIOS/CMOS then you may up the BCLK frequecny to 105 and keep the CPU ratio at 44, however you would have to change the DRAM frequency to not exceed that of the stock frequency. Then if it even booted I would make sure to check the idle and stress test voltage.
However I can't say whether overclocking with the BCLK is a good idea if you're not a hobbyist or know what you're doing, and since I'm old school with an Athlon x2 250 that is overclocked only with the bus speed (BCLK is basically the base/bus clock) I can't say that overclocking with an upped base clock and multiplier is going to be very stable without a lot of effort put into it.
Correct me about something if im wrong, wish you best luck overclocking

Everything seems alright and if you're happy with the 4.3/4 Ghz overclock then only time can tell it's fully stable as I've had my friends CPU crashing in CPU intensive games with an overclock even though it passed stress and stability tests.

should be able to set cpu multiplier/ratio to 45x and set your vcore value to 1.3v, LLC to high. If that doesnt work then u can work ur way up to 1.35v in increments, but i doubt u need that much voltage.
after this you would know what to do to get more core speed. if not.. watch youtube videos.



im actually going to get that cpu tomorrow.
might do a live stream pm me if interested.
