Overclocking i5-6600K on Gigabyte GA-Z270X Gaming 5.

Hello guys!

I recently changed my motherboard for an Aorus Gigabyte GA-Z270X Gaming 5 and now, I want to overclock my i5-6600K. The only problem is that, I never did that in the past, so I'm in need of some help!

Thank you! I got my CPU up to 4.6Ghz and it's stable, the PC booted perfectly after the overclock.

Dropped it back to 3.5Ghz, I finally felt some instability while playing, the GPU was getting hot after the overclock, is that because I pushed it too high?

Do you have a video card? What CPU cooler are you using?

You can download Coretemp to monitor/check cpu temps.

Yes I have a GTX 1070 with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo as my CPU cooler.

Don't freak out cause stuff gets warm. That's what happens when everything is working close to max. If it concerns you, lower the OC to 4.4Ghz or something.

Alright I'll try this out maybe later, I will keep this thread updated to tell you how it goes with this.
