Hi, I've been trying to overclock my cpu (i5 6600k skylake) to a 4ghz overclock on a gigabyte motherboard and I try typing in 40 as the multiplyer but nothing changes? And I when I hit + on the num pad it will NOT go past 3.9ghz. I don't why this is, I haven't changed the voltage as I do not wish to increase it more than the stock voltage so if anyone knows why I cannot get 4ghz overclock please let me know!
Can't get past 3.9ghz on my i5 6600k on gigabye BIOS??

if you do not raise voltage too much and keep temps under control you will upgrade to a new cpu before it dies. Might reduce life by 5-10% but no one knows for sure, might not, every chip is different. Cpu's last 20+ years so your motherboard will most likely die first.
I believe you need a z170 motherboard to overclock fully thats why. H series motherboards only offer limited overclocking abilities. But 3.9ghz should be plenty for gaming. Unfortunately there is nothing you can really do except get a proper z170 mobo
thanks anyway!TRENDING THREADS
