X99-E-10G WS i7-6850k Overclock help needed

[roweder]

Hello,

I have an ASUS X99-E-10G WS motherboard and an i7-6850k.

I'd like to get more out of the CPU, but I am not very familiar with overclocking settings, and most times when I try changing something from "auto" to a specific setting, I either get failure to boot or my Cinebench score goes down lol.

Does anyone know of any good settings for this CPU/MB combo?



-Heat has NOT been a problem at all. I have a Noctua DH-15S with 2 fans on it, and my CPU temps stay under 40C under load, either during a long render or a Cinebench test.
-The MB is not defective, I thought it was a little while ago and sent it in to have it tested. ASUS sent it back saying it passed all of their tests, it turned out that I had a defective i7-6850k. That was replaced under warranty by Intel and the new one seems fine.


Thank you

-Derek

Welcome to OCF roweder!
When overclocking on the Intel HEDT and you find the performance getting worse it's quite often a sign that the VCCIN needs to be boosted a bit. That rail controls all of the voltages for the CPU.

hmm, I don't really know what any of that means. I was hoping someone could give me a list of settings I should change or a link to a guide for this specific MB. I don't know where to find VCCIN settings in the bios.

Thanks

VCCIN is a setting in your BIOS. In may be listed as Input Voltage. I believe stock is 1.9V. If you plan to overclock, it helps to dig around and at least become familiar with the BIOS since that is where the magic all happens.

We don't have a guide for a specific motherboard here, sorry.
