Hello
I experience freezes and sometimes BSOD when I overclock my 6600k. It only occurs during games.
Specs:
i5 6600K + NH-D15 Noctua
Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI with the latest BIOS
EVGA G2 750W
DDR4 Corsair Vengeance 16gb
GTX 1070 MSI Gaming X
Stock = Stable
Temperatures remain normal, never exceeding 60 degrees.
In-game crashes happen when temperatures drop below 50 degrees.
I’ve tried the following settings:
- 4.2 GHZ @ Auto Vcore = Crash
- 4.2 GHZ @ 1.35 Vcore = Crash
- 4.2 @ 1.4 Vcore = Crash
- 4.0 @ 1.4 Vcore = Crash
- 4.0 @ 1.4 Vcore + Loadline Calibration Set to High + Turbo Boost OFF = Crash
- 4.2 @ 1.35Vcore + Loadline Calibration Set to High + Underclocking RAM to 1800 from 2133 = Crash
What could I be doing incorrectly? I’ve read reviews on Newegg and some users report the same issue with their motherboard. I suspect there might be a setting I overlooked...
Should I adjust C-states? I generally prefer power-saving features in idle mode to keep the system cool.

Getting 4.5 GHZ on non-K CPU i5 6500 at 1.35 V. It might help to lower the voltage. The CPU ID is 4.1 on 1.2 V.
Hi, I just looked at your motherboard. It appears the VRm 4+3 is weak and the capacitors are 5K instead of the usual 10K in good OC boards. However, it should still reach around 4.2 GHz because the Skylake CPUs are low-power quad-core processors. I recommend checking the LLC control settings—most boards let you set it to Max. Turn on all OC-related features and disable options like c-state, turbo, Intel speed shift, etc. Set the CPU core and cache ratio to 255.50. Maintain a VCore of 1.3V, keep RAM at 2133 MHz, and experiment with speeds of 4.0 and 4.2. If that works, stick with 4.0 GHz and 2666 MHz (dual channel). If nothing happens, consider replacing both the board and CPU.
did you ever discover a fix for the issue similar to yours, except for the graphics card?
