First time poster here, so hello 
I recently picked up a 7700k from a friend of mine, flashed the bios to the latest release 38xx, threw in (very gently) the 7700k. OS booted perfectly and recognised the cpu, idle temps ~30c and on load didn’t go past 70. Great, time to overclock.
This is where I ran into problems, what ever I set the ratio at e.g 47 on all cores, boot is a bit weird it will show the loading screen for a sec, pay will make a click sound, the screen will flash off for a split second when it click and then will show the loading screen again and boot normally.
The freq won’t go past 4400 and single core of 4500. CPU-z shows 44x (8-47). Things I’ve tried:
- Older 3401 bios
- performance and balanced plans
- cleared cmos and reconfigured
- uninstalled AI Suite 3 and AI Cleaned
- used configurations other users have used with a 7700k and z170
- clear cmos and only change ratio
- disabled all power saving in UEFI
I’m running out of ideas, only thing I can think of is some conflicting software on th system, or the board, but others have had success with Kaby Lake. Is there a way I can check it isn’t software related before I reinstall windows?
I was running a 6600k at 4.4 before upgrading.
System:
I7 7700k
Asus Maximus VIII hero
2x8gb 2400 ram
2x 2.5” 256gb SSD RAID 0
Aorus 1080ti Extreme WB
ek x360 custom loop
650w 80 gold PSU
Windows 10 Pro
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks!
