Failed overclock i5 7600k
Failed overclock i5 7600k
Hi,
I'm just starting out with overclocking and want to test my i5 7600k with the Gigabyte z27OP-D3. I've set the frequency to 4.8ghz, vcore at 1.285 and uncore at 4.5ghz. I followed an OC guide from Gigabyte, and the RAM is at xmp. I didn't change any other settings like turbo or c-states. After restarting, my computer froze for a second with a white marker in the upper left corner, then it rebooted and I ended up back in BIOS due to a failed boot. What should I try next? Increasing voltage?
Configure your bios to use the system default settings, then attempt to boot into Windows. If that doesn't work, return to your bios and gradually adjust the CPU frequency, testing each change carefully. You may need to tweak the voltage in the bios as well, using small increments of 0.01 to avoid damaging the motherboard. Follow along with YouTube tutorials for guidance.
I didn't have any previous overclocking experience. I saw a review mentioning their processor achieved 4.9 at vcore 1.285. I tried 4.8 and didn't even see the loading screen. Now I'm planning to go with 4.6 using a pre-made BIOS profile, but I don't know the exact settings. Looking for a simple OC method.
Following additional tests, I've achieved 4.8 ghz while maintaining stable temperatures. The issue remains unclear regarding the uncore frequency. Adjusting it to 4.5ghz caused the system to fail completely. What advice would you give for continuing with that configuration?
