if your setting 122 bclk that could be your problem. I couldnt do that much last night. Start at 110 and work your way up. Also make sure you are reducing your ram speed as your upping base clock

ok cool thanks will try 110 with ram speed of 2133

I know it's depressing but my 6300 last night wouldnt boot more than 4.3. I couldnt believe it but I guess some of these chips can be really bad. What cooling are you using, because you could probably bump the vcore a bit.

ya I mean I dont see why you couldnt go up to 1.4v on aio. I mean I tried up to 1.5v last night on custom water, didnt help though.

That's weird, I havent tried non-k oc with msi yet only asus and asrock so I cant be much help. Hopefully someone will stop by. You could also try the msi skylake threads.

What you have to do:

- Remove PSU cabel

- Remove BIOS battery and wait a bit

 

put it back together and adjust only these settings:

- Beta Runner to NOC

- Load XMP

- Set BCLK

- Adjust RAM Frequency

- Set CPU Core Voltage

 

Nothing else and apply the setting. Should work.
