Hey guys, I have a Gigabyte ga-z170-hd3p with an i7 6700k that I'm trying to get past the stock 4Ghz. It doesn't appear that I can get it to boot though unless I leave everything on auto or use the pre-configured CPU "upgrade" options on the MB which I can use to go up to 4.6Ghz but this doesn't seem to be stable, even on the lower Ghz's (4.1, 4.2, etc). So I set the upgrade to 4.6Ghz, then change the vcore to 1.35V and Windows tries to boot and gets to the loading rotating circle, screen turns black and then I get a BSOD and I need to force the restart. The restart is only required if I manually enter my settings, not if I choose the upgrade and leave the settings alone though so I might just be forgetting to change some setting that the upgrade takes care of for me. For anyone who has the same setup, what settings should I be changing?
What I mean by the system not being stable is that I am trying to watch 4K movies that are downscaled down to 1440p and run at 144fps on the lowest settings of Smooth Video Project which will run the CPU at 90%-100%, cooling is being taken care of by 2 noctua fans running at max with a fresh application of thermal paste done just today, it doesn't appear to be overheating.
