Hello everyone! I am new to overclocking and would really appreciate some help.
Long story short, I did a ton of research and found that a 4.4-4.5 overclock was standard for my CPU. For reference, here is a list of the relevant parts:
CPU: i7 6700K
MOBO: MSI Gaming5 z170A
OS: WIndows 10
Stress Test: LinX
So I went in and changed everything relevant as you can see in the screen shots. These are my current settings. Upon every stress test with LinX, around the 40-50 second mark, it blue screens. I have bumped the voltage up to 1.380 and the same crashing was happening. I dont understand what I am doing wrong. Literally every thread had theirs at 4.4-4.5 with their voltage wayyyyy below 1.38. Some of them were even hovering near 1.3-1.29.
So my question is, can someone verify my settings to see if I messed up somewhere? Is there a really obvious setting I am missing? any help would be very much appreciated.
EDIT: To add more info, it does not crash (yet) during normal use. I also just went in and put my CPU clock to stock speeds, and running the test still crashed. I kept everything else as you see it, and the only thing I changed was the core clock value by setting it at 40.
