i7 6700k and Z170 Pro Gaming = highly unstable
Last week I bought a new CPU, motherboard and RAM.
It ended up being a i7 6700k, a Asus Z170 Pro Gaming with G.Skill Ripjaw Four 16 GB DDR4 2800Mhz gear up.
Installed everything, did a first start = everything was worked fine.
Next did a BIOS update, update went without a hitch and then no problems in that location.
Then restarted and started tweaking the CPU and RAM.
Got the i7 6700k running at 4.4GHz on all cores and got the RAM to piece of work at XMP profile.It all was working fine until last Saturday when I change the CPU libation for a new one (a Scythe Fuma)
That'south when excrement striking the air circulation system.Showtime the PC didn't want to kickoff up, it hung before information technology finessed Postal service.
Check the LED's on the motherboard and information technology hung on RAM.
Next I did a difficult reset on the BIOS (removed the BIOS battery for a couple of seconds) and later some doing finally got the motherboard to except the RAM modules again.
Checked the RAM modules with memtestx86 and they passed the test without problems.But since then I have not bin able to become the organization stable.
Not with a slight overclock, non even with all optimal values.ix out of the ten times when yous offset the organisation cold it volition not boot, it'll hang during Postal service.
When yous reset (push the power button 10 seconds and offset again) information technology'll show a overclock fail.
When the system does starting time as it'south suppose to and you restart information technology (even after a couple of hours) ix of the 10 times it will hang during Mail.
Another thing which is noticable is when the system starts it takes a long time to get passed POSTWhat I institute out is that for some reason or another it doens't seem to like the XMP contour.
Side by side, even with the optimal values from the BIOS loaded (so no overclock what so e'er) , when y'all do a criterion run with XTU it puts style to much voltage on the CPU (1.44v when between 1.35 and one.4v is the maximum for 6700K'southward)
Because of the over voltage the CPU gets information technology will heat up to 70 degrees within a couple of minutes, the PCH will oestrus up to seventy degrees within a couple of seconds
It even over voltaged the RAM modules (1,5v volition the only demand ane.2v)The things I've done till now :
Check the motherboard and CPU for burn marks, if the CPU was aptitude, if the CPU was seated on the motherboard correctly.
Loaded XMP, put a fixed voltage for the RAM modules, put CPU Core/Cache voltage on adaptive.
Manually input the RAM values (and so not using the XMP profile)
Put USB legacy on disabled
Tried to practise a rollback with BIOS to version 1904, the motherboard didn;t accept it, said the BIOS was incompatible with the motherboard.All of this is hit and miss :
Sometimes the organisation starts without a hitch, most of the times information technology will hang during Postal service and when yous reset it will bear witness overclock neglectWhen the arrangement does startup usually it works fine in Windows and there are no issues when yous're gaming.
I understood from reading the forum the last couple of days that a long Postal service boot up is quit normal for Asus Z170 motherboards
Does anyone have any idea was incorrect hither ?
I thinking that either the motherboard or the CPU (perchance both) are failty...Hither'southward my setup :
Intel i7 6700K
Asus Z170 Pro Gaming
G.Skill Ripjaw Six 16GB DDR4 2800Mhz
Gigabyte GTX 1080 Gaming G1
Artistic Soundblster Z
Intel 750 800GB PCI-E SSD (boot and games disk)
1 4TB Western Digtal 5400rpm harddisk
ii 6TB Western Ditial 5400rpm harddisks
Corsair RM750X power supple

Hi MaccieDMy 6700k draws 1.44v at default settings likewise, y'all tin can manually set the voltage to 1.20v.
The freezing and overclocking failed bulletin is likely instability with your ram, check to come across the timings and frequency are right.
If all looks good and you still become freezing try setting the Dram voltage to 1.25v - 1.30v and encounter if it boots ordinarily.
Since the problem happened after installing your new cooler it may be too tight putting uneven pressure on the socket, y'all could try loosening your new cooler a touch.

It's only recommended to update the bios if you're having compatibility or stability bug, since everything seems ok I would leave it as is. Possibly you accidentally bumped one of the ram sticks when installing your cooler.As far as adaptive mode, what you want to do is observe the lowest stable voltage in manual way then switch to adaptive mode and enter in your voltage in the "Additional Turbo Manner cpu core voltage" and run a stress test. While the test is running, subtract notwithstanding much the voltage is overshooting and enter that in the negative offset.

All rightClear the cmos with the two pin jumper, if you're not sure how to do this take a look in the manual.
Permit me know when yous get information technology booting again.
