hey all recently bought the "Radon Utahraptor" Intel Core i5 2500K 3.30Ghz @ 4.40Ghz Overclocked Bundle - MSI which is on the webside at £350, well it was overclocked until i added 4gb more ram at which point it wanted me to mess with variables to make it stay overclocked, or load defaults, anyway i didnt want to do either really but pushed F2 because i thought it may just mean copy the default oc setting that is already applied, so here i am after paying for an overclocked build ive managed to unclock it down to 3.30ghz in the space of a day

what do i do to fix this can anyone at OCUK help me get it oc'd again safely without risking the hardware! :eek:

Do you know a bit about computers?
Just go into the bios and up the multiplier, most mobos for sandybridge have the genie thing that will get it to 4ghz I think

Try posting in the customer sevices section, Overclockers staff check that section often and you might even get a reply over the weekend.

cheers mate ill try but i couldnt find any OC options before, yep it does have the genie on the mobo box, so ill attempt it there, it was at 4.40 before somehow!

I'd imagine they saved the overclock settings as a profile onto the mobo iself. Should be an option somewhere to load their profile again.

the more ram you add, the less you can clock as a rough rule of thumb

You know i really have not found that since later LGA775 chipsets, plus with SB you're not really messing with the OC itself as the RAM is fixed, might need a little VTT bump to 1.15v or so but only if running some fast RAM whether it be latency or MHz.
