my build details
asus z170-ar
i5 6600k (OC to 4.5ghz at 1.255V) EDIT(while running prime 95 CPUZ had my volts at 1.264v)
33c idle the cores are around 60c no higher under-load
8gb ddr4 2400
gtx 1070 g1
850W ax PSU
the only changes in my bios were the voltage and core ratio, nothing else
i've been running prime 95 for about 10 minutes it kept saying pass pass pass on all cores
assuming that's what the four windows inside the big window mean
i opened up the local file it says hardware FAILURE open stress.txt for more info
LOL it says ask yall
i'm using MSI afterburner to monitor everything
i noticed one core temperature was 40c while others were around 49c and higher
i scroll down a bit more and saw the core only worked about 48%
i'm guessing that's my hardware failure...
do i need to raise my volts to get that core back up OR DID I BLOW OUT A CORE?
Intel sets prices for Skylake chips at up to 1.52v, which might explain your concern.
So I fixed my BIOS back to the default, but it turned out there was a voltage problem.
I definitely don’t want to jump to 1.3V just to save this CPU.
Are there any other adjustments I should make in the BIOS besides voltages and core ratio?
