Hello,

I am new to overclocking so please excuse me in advance for my lack of knowledge here. Like the title say, I have a i5-10600K CPU with a Be Quiet CPU Cooler and an ASUS Prime Z490-P MoBo. Other relevant specs include an EVGA 650W PSU, 2x Corsair Vengeance 3600MHz DDR4 and a RTX 3060Ti. And I've been following some guides on youtube on how to overclock a i5-10600K but whenever I try these settings, for example this one or this one, my PC shuts down so I go back to BIOS AI Tweaker menu to change some values like Core Ratio and voltage and so on, like you're supposed to I guess whenever the system is unstable, but none of the settings I try seem to work. I tried XMP 1, 2 and Manual (not really knowing the differences in technical terms but for the sake of testing). I have the latest BIOS version. My CPU temps are good on stock settings, I just haven't been able to check them after an overclock. Maybe you guys can tell me what I'm doing wrong, or not doing? Is something locked that needs to be unlocked? I really don't understand what's wrong, maybe it is something very simple.

I hope the provided information is enough. If not, do tell me what else I need to provide. Thanks in advance.
