Bad OC 6600K
Bad OC 6600K
Hello,
Could you assist me with optimizing my bad OC on the 6600K?
I'm currently using @4.3 GHz, 4.3 Cache LLC 1 with +75 mV. It's stable, but the maximum OC I can achieve is 4.4 with 1.33V.
MOBO: AsRock Extreme 4
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2800 MHz (2x*8GB) on a CL14 at 3200 MHZ

CPU is delidded – cooler Silentium PC Fortis 2 – temps around 4.3 GHz, about 60°C
Hello, consider adjusting the voltage to auto and installing cpu-z to understand the system's needs after overclocking. Try reducing it if the voltage is excessive and stability remains. (link to portable version http://www.cpuid.com/downloads/cpu-z/cpu-z_1.78-en.zip)
You might set the multiplier/ratio to 45, though this could increase the voltage beyond safe limits. From previous discussions, it's advised to maintain the VCore below 1.4V.
Also, you can attempt to boost the BCLK speed alongside a 44 CPU ratio. However, you'll need to monitor memory speeds and timings, as changing BCLK frequency might cause issues. If you can reset the BIOS/CMOS easily, consider increasing the BCLK frequency to 105 while keeping the CPU ratio unchanged.

If you can reset the BIOS/CMOS, try setting BCLK to 105 while keeping the CPU ratio at 44, but adjust the DRAM frequency to match the stock speed. After booting, verify idle and stress test voltages.
I'm unsure if overclocking with an increased base clock and multiplier is a good approach unless you're experienced, especially with an Athlon x2 250 that's already overclocked mainly via bus speed (BCLK). Without significant effort, it might not be very stable.
Correct me if I'm mistaken, and wish you success in overclocking!
Ky0sHiR0 :
What about BIOS settings ? Do You think everything is fine ?
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 possible to adjust the CPU multiplier/ratio to 45x and set your Vcore value to 1.3v, with LLC high. If this doesn’t work, you can gradually increase it up to 1.35v in steps, though I’m not sure if that’s necessary. After this, you’ll know how to boost core speed. If not, consider watching YouTube tutorials.
I’m planning to get that CPU tomorrow.
Maybe I’ll do a live stream for you if you’re interested.
