Hello, Thanks for this useful guide, I will have a go this evening!

I guess it was EVGA_JacobF in the video I found just now lol but some people find videos better and some people don't read at all much.
 

Hi Pittbull,
Honestly for this kind of stuff I still prefer reading, videos kill our brain!!
Thanks for the video anyway:-)
I was at 4.4GHz yesterday but had a stability issue after a while and I did not have the time to chase why. I will overclocked it slowly but surely tonight!
 

I have reached 4.8GHz but want to keep temp in a reasonable area with Air cooling. So I set the CPU at 4.4 GHz :-), I will try 4.6 GHz after modifying my case for a better airflow. I want to keep it silent as well!

I'm curious about this too.

I was replying to someone's post about possibly adding more voltage to memory when in xmp profiles. Sorry bout that random post...

I have primed and hit 3dmark11 scores in the 1K evga bucks what's holding me back is this 2GB card, beautiful card but ended up being my PCIe slot1 going bad on old build with 780I FTW MB
 
But RMA'd my 660 4gb SC in for this 960 2gb FTW I got. It auto sets BF4 settings to Mediuim I do get almost a constant 200fps but can tell the 2gb's in cards bottle necking me hard, even though it destroyed physics scores on 3dmark by 35+% vs. 980 TI

Here is my 4.6 OC +.25mv stable, benched, primed and all. BF4 Gameplay Max - Avg. Temps -------- 100% air cooled

Nice start, but is there (or will there be) an advanced guide?

Classified K board, 6700K.
 
I have tried following the guide, but I cannot get the CPU overclocked.
 
I set the multiplier in BIOS (1.03) to 41, 42, 44, 46, 48 but it never changes. I set it to 39, it changes to 3900.
One application, RealTemp, shows the CPU overclock frequencies, but others (Aida64, HWinfo, CPU-Z, ELEET, etc.) all show 4000, no matter what multiplier above 40 I use.
 
What am I doing wrong? It is almost as if I do not have an unlocked chip.
 
EDIT: I figured out the overclock, cannot disable EIST apparently. From all I read about overclocking Skylake, I never saw that mentioned, now I know.
 
However, I am seeing it occasionally going back to 4000 while in Windows. And sometimes when I change a BIOS setting and save and restart, the PC just sits at the Windows logo screen, forcing a manual restart, resulting in a Startup Repair.
 
I have the CPU Core set to Override.
 
I thought Skylake overclocking was supposed to be easy?

Can you take a photo of your OC settings in the BIOS? I can try to match them and see if I can get the same behavior.

Alright, I tried clearing the CMOS and re-flashing the BIOS (1.03), and so far, no issues.
 
If I run into trouble, I will update.
 
Thanks

Got it stable @ 4.6, tried lowering the voltage in BIOS, save and reset result in freeze at Windows logo.
 
Really, really pissed off at this point!!!
