Hey all, about a year ago I spent about $2100 on my pc. Got a 6700K on a GIGABYTE GA-Z170x-UD3 mobo. Haven't really tried to OC until now because my backing for getting the K version was it was already clocked to 4.0 and I got it so I can utilize more power when the CPU was starting to get old and show it. Well, as of late, I've been getting quite a few games that are still in alpha like ARK Survival Evolved and PUBG and these games are not optimized yet. I want to push every single FPS out of my pc so starting off I want to OC the CPU then OC the GPU once I'm done with the CPU. I just tried to OC the CPU with failed results. I went ahead and set the BIOS to set Vcore to the recommended max of 1.350V and the clock to 45 for the CPU to run at 4.5GHz. Did that and ran Prime95 on its mixed run. Lasted about 30 seconds before the pc crashed. I am wondering since I can't even reach 4.5GHz at 1.350V am I doing something wrong or did I get an OC dud CPU?
