Intel Extreme Tuning Utility
Intel Extreme Tuning Utility
So I'm just testing the basic tuning and it has processor core ratio and processor cache ratio. I want my i7 6850k to run between 4.2-4.4ghz. What should I set my core ratio and cache ratio to? Also, if I go into bio and load optimized defaults will that make my OC go back to normal?

Lutfij mentioned on X2 - I only used XTU to check a few BIOS values from Windows, but it still caused conflicts, so I removed it
Overclocking requires the proper tools. One key point is to avoid using any software for overclocking unless your BIOS has very limited capabilities (in which case you shouldn't be overclocking at all).
Overclocking requires the proper tools. Avoid using software for overclocking unless your BIOS has minimal capabilities—then it’s best not to overclock at all.

just follow the instructions given, when you increase your clock ratio by one, restart and run Prime 95 version 26.6 for 15-20 minutes while monitoring your temperatures (i use HWiNFO – download and install, when you open, just select "run sensors" only). You aim to find the lowest Vcore you can use without experiencing a P95 BSOD. If it crashes at around 1.195, raise Vcore to 1.200, if it still crashes at 1.195, increase to 1.205 in increments of 0.005. If it doesn’t crash, reduce Vcore by the same amount each time until you reach a point where P95 occurs again, then adjust back up slightly. The goal is to achieve the lowest possible Vcore while staying as close as possible to the maximum operating temperature. Avoid any presets such as XMP, Turbo Boost or Enhanced Boost.
The original Ralph suggests adhering closely to the provided instructions. Follow the steps carefully, adjust the Vcore as needed based on the observed performance, and avoid any preset settings. Monitor temperatures using HWiNFO, selecting only "run sensors" when launching Prime 95 v26.6 for 15-20 minutes. Adjust the Vcore incrementally to find the lowest setting that prevents P95 crashes, aiming for a value below 1.4 while keeping it as close to that limit as possible.
adjust your BIOS to the default configuration, then examine it to understand its display. verify that none of the presets I previously mentioned are active.
