Hi everyone, I'm new to overclocking and have a Z170 chipset. I own the Mavimus viii hero motherboard with the original BIOS, water cooling, and 16 GB DDR4 3400. Every time I attempt to overclock, it crashes with a black screen and I need to reset the BIOS settings to get my PC working again. Do any of you have experience overclocking this board? What voltage and BIOS settings are recommended for the i5 6400? Thanks ahead of time.

The CPU is secured, meaning it cannot be overclocked even with a Z-board.
