This problem arises following the overclocking process
Hi guys! I overclocked my 6600k today and ran into an issue.
Check out this part.
After a few cycles of turning it on and off, the system somehow boots. But every time I restart or power it up, it starts with that on/off sequence. That exact thing caused one of the three PSUs I've tried to replace.
It looks like this isn't a PSU problem.
Here are my specs for reference:
I5 6600k
MSI Z170A Krait gaming
2x8 Trident Z
ClearCMOS 1st is the optimal method for OC. The most effective approach is to determine the high voltage settings and cooling capacity of your setup. Before increasing speed (multiplier + BCLK), slowly adjust the voltage-related parameters (Vcore Vdimm, etc.). Initially, ensure the system passes the POST screen and boots normally. Then apply stress using tools like Prime95 or AIDA, aiming to trigger a freeze and stutter-free operation.
It's a shaky overclock. I should refer back to this guide:

Adjusting the different and numerous settings to achieve a stable, strong, and noticeable overclock depends more on the approach you take than on the specific settings.

Mikel_4 can proceed with ClearCMOS 1st. The optimal method for overclocking is to determine the high voltage related configuration and cooling capacity of your setup. Before increasing speed factors (multiplier, BCLK), start by adjusting settings like Vcore Vdimm gradually. The initial goal is to pass the POST screen and boot up properly. Then apply stress using tools such as Prime95 or AIDA, aiming for a freeze and stutter-free performance.
You shared a screenshot of the POST failure. I don’t know the PSU model, but a reliable power supply should have strong overcurrent protection. If your system draws more current than the PSU can handle, it will shut down automatically.
Thanks! Now I fully understand and successfully overclocked my CPU.
