January 20, 20179 yr I have the ASUS viii Ranger and overclocked just with the Asus suite software. You do not have to touch the bios at all. Why not re-set bios to default, overclock with Asus suite and then tweak bios if necessary? gb. Software OC tend to use more voltage than necessary. Be careful with this. 4790K @4.9GHz, 32GB DDR3, 1080Ti, W10-64bit

Why not re-set bios to default, overclock with Asus suite and then tweak bios if necessary? gb. Yeah, i have used this software too but it has the same problem. It starts changing multiplier and increasing it, but i don't see the changes are made really. It never stops because never crash the system. I manually stopped when reaching 5.5Mhz with a 5.5 multiplier. CPUZ showed a x42 multiplier xD Miguel Leandro
January 20, 20179 yr Author Software OC tend to use more voltage than necessary. Be careful with this. AiSuite contains Five Way Optimisation. It overclocks just as you or I would and also runs stress tests. It has quite a few options. I used it for my 6700K and yes, sometimes the voltage is slightly high, nothing extreme though. In fact it's designed not to exceed a safe voltage. After my latest BIOS update is overclocked precisely as I would, exact same volatge. So no, not necessary to be cautious.

Don't turn off Turbo. Again... read the guide I posted. That's probably your issue. OC should be easy, in fact Asus auto rules are very good. Even if you just change the multiplier and leave everything on Auto it will do nicely. Might be a bit high the voltage, but it will OC. Keep it simple, you are disabling things that don't need disabling. Update your BIOS. Use the latest, and no need to turn off power saving features.

Ok, i disabled everything due i was unable to OC in the simple way. I will try it again... Miguel Leandro
January 20, 20179 yr Author Set optimised defaults. Then keep it simple. Latest BIOS. And remember... you won't see any changes unless the system is under load. So run something like Cinebench, or RealBench and monitor with CPUZ while under load.
January 20, 20179 yr Yeah, i updated last week the bios to the last one, so no problem related. I alwyas test via Prime95 but i will try another stress soft. Miguel Leandro
January 20, 20179 yr Yeah, i updated last week the bios to the last one, so no problem related. I alwyas test via Prime95 but i will try another stress soft. ROG Realbench is pretty good. 4790K @4.9GHz, 32GB DDR3, 1080Ti, W10-64bit
January 26, 20179 yr The normal voltage seems to be around 1.32-1.34v for 5.0ghz RogRealbench approx 70% of CPUs. Find one good 1.22v 5.0ghz , 5.1ghz 1.28v , 5.2ghz 1.38v RogRealBench stable 4c/8t ( HT on ) . Not delidd yet the temps with 1.38v 5.2ghz 85c , cooling NZXT X61. http://
January 27, 20179 yr Author Seems Asus are so confident that 80% of Kaby Lake CPU's can reach 5 GHz, that they have included a "one click" 5GHz profile for Z270 boards. https://www.overclock3d.net/news/cpu_mainboard/asus_kaby_lake_z270_motherboards_will_feature_a_one-click_5ghz_overclock_profile/1 Obviously its just a generic, one size fits all voltage though, so clearly it won't work for all. Lower voltage or higher voltage may be required.
January 27, 20179 yr I'm running Kaby Lake i7 at 5.1 ghz, 1.37 volts. Only caveat is I'm only stable at that with HT turned off. Seems the higher clock with HT disabled is smoother/higher FPS than Lower clock w/ HT enabled. That's for my set up at least.
January 27, 20179 yr I'm around 1.31-1.33 volts for 5ghz with cores maxing out at 68c-72c under stress testing. This is using the one click overclock option in the gigabyte bios on a z260 board (gaming 5). I haven't taken to time to fine tune it yet or try to go higher.

January 28, 20179 yr As a guy with a (now old-school... whoa, time flies) i5 2500k @ 4.5GHz, I'm finding the Kaby Lake reports pretty amazing actually. 5GHz was something for very few people five years ago...
