peshewah Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Got the last of the parts today. I7 6700k cpu & NH -U12S heatsink Asus Z170-A mobo MSI R9 390 G Skill 16GB PC2400 I think Samsung SSD 850 250gb and 2 other harddrive EVGA 850 PSU Its up and running. Seems to run good. I would like to overclock but my son keeps his room to hot. Is there anything I need to enable or disable in the bios? One other thing, the Asus mobo is nice. I really like the lay out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black64 Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Dang, what do you need to overclock for? That CPU is crazy fast as-is. Your mobo should have some auto-overclock settings, try those first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peshewah Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Black64, I used default setting. It would be easy to overclock but my boys room is so hot. He likes it that way. I had to en-able XMP. But, on the mobo, there is a XMP switch. I left it alone. But yes it runs good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp9801 Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 You might want to check and make sure all the voltages are set instead of left to auto. Your son already keeps the room hot, no need adding any extra heat if you don't need it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peshewah Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 Do you know what a good voltage would be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetfats Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 Sounds like a sweet build. Any pictures? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp9801 Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 Do you know what a good voltage would be? Whatever the items are supposed to be set at. So around 1.2v for the CPU, 1.35v for the RAM if you're keeping things at stock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peshewah Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 Thanks again bp9801 Feetsfats, the cases is huge Lian Li. I had a hard time stretching the wires from point A to point B so its not a build to be proud of. So no, no pictures. I didn't want to build a new computer. I tried to upgrade the graphics card and PSU but the mobo didn't like it and I had too much cash in the new GPU & PSU to turn back. I didn't want to buy a new mobo that was out dated so I moved forward. I was able to use the case and 2 hard drives for the new build. But yes my son digs his new rig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccokeman Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 Your cooling capacity in the room will ultimately determine your overclock. The Noctua cooler is a great bit of hardware and you should be able to get a mild overclock with it. You can use AISuite III to set your overclock using the TPU tool or go into the BIOS and use it there. I cannot remember the F Key number in the Eazy section of the BIOS but it is about as seamless as you can get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
