Thank you! I figured that was the only thing that I could figure my build was lacking vs others. I just wasn't seeing it stated anywhere.

Hi, I just built a gaming pc with an ASRock Fatality z170a Gaming K4. I tried instant flashing to the bios provided in the overclocking guide for my mobo. I used the specified settings for OCing in the bios: BCLK 122 Voltage 1.325, level 1 DRAM 2600, XMP settings I save the settings and reboot and nothing happens. It tries to start and just hangs with a black screen. So I tried dialing everything back to find something stable. Nothing aside from the stock settings for the bios work. Here is my build: ASRock Fatality z170a Gaming K4 motherboard Intel i5-6500 CPU 16 GB DDR4 2400 Samsung 750 EVO 250 GB SSD (Boot Drive) Windows 10 Pro NO GPU YET, using onboard Intel HD530 graphics I see everyone else is able to overclock this CPU but for some reason I cannot. What can I try? What am I not doing correctly? Any help is appreciated.
