Lost my overclock

Dogfood09 · 3 Aug 2011 at 23:23

Guys ,

I recently took my pc apart to give it a real good clean , and i have only just noticed i have lost my overclock , its gone back to its original clock speed , i brought the overclocked bundle from overclockers over a year ago , any idea what to do as i have no idea about overclocking and want it back to 4GHz , i have made no adjustments to the pc since i got it.

Regards
Dog

You will need to go into bios and load the overclocked profile that OCUK will have created there. Sure it'll be called something with "OCUK" in the name.

i shall have a look , dont remember seeing anything there , thanks

Dogfood09 · 3 Aug 2011 at 23:43

had a look , and there is nothing there

Dogfood09 · 3 Aug 2011 at 23:43

there was an error message saying it had lost its values or something in a red box???

For whatever reason the bios must have reset defaults. You'll need to contact OCUK to get instructions of the exact overclock, or possibly sent it back to them to do for you. Alternatively you can post up your specs, and people should be able to help you do it yourself.

you must have hit the cosmos jumpers or something , that would wipe the values of the bios

Likely scenario is that the board shorted/CMOS bridged somewhere, maybe on a standoff or on the case if he removed it, not a rare occurance.

at work at moment, the details of my rig are on a post called project yidian

I do have some OCUK settings for a 4.2GHz intel overclock on a Gigabyte UD2H mobo. Cannot attach to this post but will send by email if you wish. Click on the link at the bottom of my post to send mail.

The only difference would be the clock multiplier I would think. It uses 191 x 22 for 4.2Ghz, 191 x 21 gives 4.0Ghz.

Project Yidian spec?

Gigabyte P55-UD5 Mobo
Intel Core i5 Overclocked to 4ghz

depends on the i5, but it will give the OP a clue as to the overclock settings.

click on link http://eng.im and download the only file there, it is an adobe acrobat file.
