Thanks to EarthDog, MattNo5ss, and others for the help with the XMP memory issue. I have that sorted and things are good. It has been busy but i am itching to see what my chip can OC to.
System Specs:
i7 6700K @ stock
GA-Z170X-UD5 w/F3 bios
2x8gb Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000Mhz
GB G1 Gaming GTX 970
Sandisk Extreme Pro 480gb SSD
Seasonic X750
Cryorig R1 Ultimate Cpu Cooler
Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX Case
Win 10 Pro
Please review my OCing Data Spreadsheet from Google Sheets for info as i have questions.
My goal right now is to get this chip stock speeds with manual settings. So far i have worked on getting my voltages manually set. The more things i can leave auto without messing up my chance at a good OC i am for.
Do you know what the default vcore for Skylake is? With this GigaByte board auto has the default voltage acording to the BIOS at 1.284 - 1.3, and EasyTune shows 1.284 - 1.302 and voltage points on mobo 1.322. These are at various loads. When i manually set my voltage and left LLC at auto omg holy vdroop batman. 1.280v went down past 1.19v. Since that voltage seemed stable i ran 1.2v with LLC at high. This yields a full load vcore swing according to software down to 1.188v. I really need to take apart my case and get the voltage point readings and see what they really are when i have that kind of time.
I know on my AMD systems i turned off cool and quiet to OC. Do i need to do the same thing to the Cstates for Intel? I have left that stuff to auto and it appears that manually setting voltage stopped the go to lower speeds and voltages at idle. I have windows power options at high performance right now. With vcore auto the speed wouldnt change but the vcore would drop under 1v. My ambient temps are 22c and my cpu cores were idling at 21-22c with speedstep. Now my idle temps are 25c to 26c without speedstep. Not bad but i wouldnt mind having the ability to use the low power at idle, if there is a way to do this and OC let me know.
As always i appreciate the help and thanks for the advice.
