May 31, 201214 yr Author Windows doesn't recognize an oc without doing some modifications don't worry about it. Cpuid is correct. What kind of modifications? i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB

May 31, 201214 yr Author Alright, thanks anyway! I'm so glad I finally overclocked my computer. i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
May 31, 201214 yr I finally overclocked my computer. Thank you for being my light in the overclocking tunnel. I may give it a try at the weekend.
May 31, 201214 yr Author Thank you for being my light in the overclocking tunnel. I may give it a try at the weekend. I'm sure I'm younger than you, so if I can do it, you can do it. Get on the TeamSpeak server for AVSIM. Lots of cool people there to help you. i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
May 31, 201214 yr My current voltage for 4.2 is 1.305 volts. My temperatures are excellent. Bump your CPU Ratio up to 44 or 45. You should be able top run 4.4-4.5GHZ with 1.305 without a problem. Congratz on joining the OC club!

Okay, I'll try that then run a 30 minute test. Thanks, and sorry for that crazy PM last night! EDIT: Okay, 4.5 at 1.305 gave me a BSOD. 4.5 at 1.310 gave me a BSOD. 4.4 at 1.305 gave me a BSOD (all these BSODs happened when I clicked "Ok" to start the Prime95 test. So I think I'll stick to my trusty 4.2GHz at 1.305 which is working perfect. I don't want to go over 1.400 volts or 1.800, whatever it was.

May 31, 201214 yr 1.305V is a far cry from 1.4V. You have more voltage headroom and a lot more performance to unlock, should you choose to do so.
May 31, 201214 yr Author 1.305V is a far cry from 1.4V. You have more voltage headroom and a lot more performance to unlock, should you choose to do so. Oh really? Is for example 1.400 or 1.380 fine? i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
May 31, 201214 yr Oh really? Is for example 1.400 or 1.380 fine? On a 2500K anything up to 1.4V is pretty safe in the eyes of most overclockers, beyond that you should look into some serious cooling. I wouldn't just go ratchet it up to 1.4V right off the bat though, try 1.315, 1.320, etc., raising the voltage in .005v increments until you find the system to be stable at the clockspeed you desire.
May 31, 201214 yr Don't exceed 1.38volts. Anything higher will uust send your temps through the roof. If you can send your chip to 1.36volts, you could likely be stable at 4.7-4.8GHZ.
May 31, 201214 yr Author Thanks techguy and Ben! I'll do some more trial-and-error before I see what is the highest I can get. So far, I'm happy with the 4.2. i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
