Hi Guys and Gals,

I am wanting to OC my CPU (i7 6700k Skylake), the issue I am coming across is that after I have OC'd it blue screens and says it crashed due to it being OC'd too much. What I don't understand is that my computer should easily be able to OC it up to 4.5GHz but it won't go past default 4Ghz.

I have
i7 6700k Skylake - 50°c
EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 - 66°c
CW-9060028-WW 120 mm Hydro Series H45 Liquid CPU Cooler
Asus Z170-A ATX Motherboard - 52°c
16.0GB DDR4 RAM (GSkill Ripjaw)
PSU 750w (can't remember make)
2x3TB WD 30°c
250gb Samsung SSD 750 EVO 30°c

Please can you advise why I am unable to OC without crashing. Even at 4.15GHz it doesn't agree and crashes.

ps. temps are recorded whilst playing player unknown battlegrounds.


Thanks,

Wolfy
 
Hey mate, I am doing it through BIOS at doing it manually by adjusting the cores stress testing then increasing/decreasing if necessary (however it just crashes to blue screen, I think it was clock watchdog timeout), I'm not too savvy on OC but watched a few vids and this is what is advised.
 
I used the EZ tuning wizard as well and it OC'd it to 4.15GHz and it Blue screened, so that was useless. I'm just a little confused as it should easily be able to handle it.

Thanks for your quick replies.
