Hi. I’m trying to overclock my son’s computer and need some guidance. I’ve checked and confirmed it has an unlocked CPU.
CPU model: i5-6600k
Power supply: 600w 80+ coolermaster PSU
Operating system: Windows 10

I’m looking for advice on the best overclock settings. So far, I think I need to adjust BIOS settings and tweak some parameters.
I’m not very technical, but I’d really appreciate your help!
Kind regards

Each chip behaves uniquely, meaning a single setting won't suit all users. I'd begin with the link provided.

Z97 supports 1150 sockets while the i5-6600k requires a 1151 socket. They don't match.
