Hey guys. I have built my new Skylake (net) machine and im trying to dabble in overclocking but it seems that no matter what I do, no matter what voltage I put the CPU at (gone up to 1.4 just for testing) it seems to fail shortly after starting prime95. I am also having issues with heat despite having an AIO water cooler on it. And the volts I push doesn't seem to matter in regards to temp. I literally fluctuate between 70*C-100*C. I ran prime the other day at 4.3GHz for 8hrs 30min with no errors in Prime. But when I got home from work I decided to try and fix the heat issue by reapplying thermal paste, reseating CPU, and my rear fan was being used as intake instead of exhaust so I fixed that as well.
I haven't really had to overclock anything since end of 2011 when I got my 2500k so I am a fair bit rusty on what settings I need to change in the bios. If anyone can help out it would be appreciated.
Full, up-to-date specs are in the system specs link.
Also, the back of the computer case where the exhaust fan/rad is for the CPU seems to be really warm. Playing WoW last night @ 4.3GHz the temps were about 50-55*C and the back of the case was really warm to the touch. I don't recall having that issue with my 2500k.
Windows 10 x64 is my main OS.
