Hey everybody.
I just got a ASRock Z170 Extreme4 and i7-6700K in the door. And wow.. quite a hassle.
So about 2 hours or so was used to figure out a quite annoying error, that would not let me finish the W8.1 install. First I did a W7 install with slipped xHCI drivers - but no EFI support once it booted made me rethink W7.
Solution to crashing W8.1 install: Update UEFI. From 1.0 to 1.6
So _OVERCLOCKING_! It's time to have fun. The CPU was fitted with an Antec Kühler H20 650, and right off the bat I was hitting up to 50 degrees running somewhat idle. I have tried reseating, didn't help. But the temperature wasn't the problem anyway. I set voltage to 1.3, and started using the A-tune from ASRock to hit a sufficient multiplier. I tried as low as 4.4, but I hit a sadface BSOD pretty fast.
Reboot with 1.35, and 4.4 seems to be working. I tried with both 4.6 and 4.5, no dice. Eventually I decided to remove the OC, because I don't feel that kind of OC is worth that using that fixed voltage.
Honestly.. Is this it? What did I do wrong here? I considered disabling different C states and SpeedStep, anything you guys can point out already?
Love n kisses ^^
