Have any issues with the 6600k OC? It worked well before the bios update.
Before the BIOS update, I was using my 6600K at 4.7ghz with 1.34 voltage and it worked fine. After updating the BIOS, it became unstable at 1.34 voltage. It seems it requires a higher voltage, around 1.37 or above. Is this typical after a BIOS change? Should I turn on XMP support? Also, what about load line calibration—what setting should I use? Thanks for your help with the Asus Z170 Pro Gaming.
Also what is the highest recommended voltage for an i5 6600k? Why did you update your bios even though everything was working okay? .03 represents a notable jump in voltage, which isn't that significant. For the LLC setting, I would adjust it to 130% or whatever fits under the red value. If it remains around 100 or 110, it's better to increase it. Regarding XMP, I'd use it if you're overclocking both RAM and CPU, as it often has a built-in feature for combined overclocking. If you need to exceed the XMP limit, switch to MANUAL mode. I usually stick with manual because I prefer customizing RAM timings or setting them automatically after overclocking my CPU.
The maximum suggested voltage for an i5 6600K is typically around 12 volts.

For LLC I would adjust it to 130% or whatever fits under the red value. If it remains around 100 or 110, it's probably time to increase it. Regarding XMP, I'd use it if you're overclocking both RAM and CPU, as it usually has a built-in setting to help with OC. If you're trying to exceed an XMP limit, switch to MANUAL. I generally prefer manual because I like to adjust my RAM timings myself or set them automatically after overclocking the CPU where I want. If you haven't explored all your BIOS options for OC, check them out and see what others recommend. Also, make sure any power-saving features are disabled to avoid stuttering or throttling issues.
