Issues related to overclocking the Intel 6600k
Hello!
A friend of mine recently assembled a computer using an ASUS H170i-plus D3 motherboard and an Intel i5 6600K CPU. We've tried overclocking through the BIOS and Intel's tuning app "Extreme Tuning Utility," but it seems overclocking isn't working for this setup. The CPU is currently capped at 3.6 GHz, with a maximum of 3.9 GHz, even though other users report success in pushing higher speeds. Anyone know why this might be the case?
Thanks!
They claim it's been done before involving lower-end chipsets, and Intel released micro-code updates to stop this feature.
At this point in time really need a Z170 mobo, some manufacturers are working on allowing the H170 chipset to OC, but basically the Z170s allow the use of the CPU multiplier where tht H170 doesn't
Yes, the H170 boards are expected to support overclocking in the future.
How's that board situation? I'm really frustrated with this dd3-dd4 change—it's not about the cost, but I'm struggling to find even Z97 boards and the G3258 right now. Plus, there aren't many budget itx boards coming out, and all these gaming series seem a bit confusing.
