BSOD occurs during idle state on Core i5 6600K with overclocking.
BSOD occurs during idle state on Core i5 6600K with overclocking.
Hello, I recently assembled a new rig and have been attempting to overclock my 6600k. Here are my specifications:
core i5 6600k
asus z270 TUF mark 1 mobo
2 evga gtx 1070 sc SLI
16 gb ddr4 corsair vengence
I managed to achieve a stable OC at 4.7 GHz (100 base clock, 47 X) at 1.4 V, but once I exceeded 4.7 GHz I experience BSOD when logging in after entering my password at idle. I've increased the voltage to 1.47 V yet still encounter BSOD when trying to reach 4.8 GHz. The error message displayed is CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT.
I'm curious if there are any solutions for this issue, especially since the crashes only occur during idle. I hope I can push it to around 4.8GHz or higher.
Additionally, I've been performing stress tests with cinebench and utilizing cpuid hwmonitor.
1.47v seems fine, great cooling for the 6600k. It takes about 1.344v to reach 4.7ghz on it.
