Hi Guys,
I need some help with my i5 6600k that I OCed using this guide on youtube:
https://youtu.be/A0zy1TEMiOQI followed every step in this guide using my tablet. Everything went well until my pc just froze after a couple of days... I thought this wasn't because of the OC but maybe just an one time freeze. I kept using my pc and a couple days later it happened again while playing Dota 2, again while watching a movie and again when I was just chatting in the LOL game client (all on different days).
The PC just freezes, sounds freezes too... I don't get a BSOD! The monitor just stays on, showing everything I was doing. I needed to hard reset the pc everytime.
After that I thought maybe it is the OC, so I went back in the bios and reverted back to stock settings. After that no freezes for days, so I decided to use the ASUS CPU gaming option that automatic overclocks the CPU. After weeks I didn't had any freezes or whatever.
The thing is that I want to get more out of my 6600k. Is the guide I followed bad? What are good manual OC settings for a 6600K on a Z170 VIII Ranger MB? What are good stresstesting programs because I used prime 95, cpu-z and realtemp to monitor the cpu. So could you guys help me out and give me some tips? Thanks in advance!
