Hello everyone,
I'm facing a problem affecting many Z170 + 6600/6600K/6700/6700K owners. Seems like many Skylake builds are suffering from random system hangs/freezes while performing low-intensive operations like whatching a video on youtube, data transfering drive-to-drive a large amount of data (60Gb+), less frequentily while playing a game.
Seems like disabling C-states (C6/C7) helps finding the system stability, also raising the ram voltage (1.26v) seems help.
On this thread you will find a lot of people reporting their experience and if you really want get the point of what I'm talking about I strongly suggest you to read it.
My build:
CPU: 6600K
Motherboard: Z170 Extreme4
2x8Gb Vengeance LPX 3000Mhz
Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming
EVGA Supernova GS 550W
Do you think I should give a try to latest Bios? My Bios is P1.80.
EDIT: I'm not talking about Prime95 bug.
