Hi
I recently brought a arkham destructor, it came overclocked at 4.4ghz, the next day i turned it on to find it wouldn't start the fans span up for a couple of seconds then power off and on. It done this for a while in the end i took the CMOS out, restarted it and started straight up went into the bios and had a error message saying any overclock or voltage failure. So obviously now i have no overclock so im trying to find or get a better overlclock that it was originally shipped with. Can anybody help me with these settings.

System Specification
- Case: Antec 300 Gaming Case
- Power Supply: OCZ ZS 550w PSU
- CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K 3.30GHz @ 4.40GHz Sandybridge CPU
- Motherboard: Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard ** B3 REVISION **
- Cooler: Xigmatek Dark Knight CPU Cooler
- RAM: 4GB DDR3 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
- Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB SATA 6GB/s
- Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX 560 1024MB GDDR5
- Sound: Realtek 7.1 Channel Sound (On-Board)
- Optical Drive: LG DVD+/-RW SATA Drive

Thanks
Jack
 
You need to post in the 'Bundles and Systems Support Forum' - link - as they will be able to advise you as to what setting you should ideally change - probably the vCore or the memory voltage etc but it's still wise to get their input to safeguard your guarantee.

You can find your original overclock in a profile within the BIOS - probably called 'OcUK profile' or similar. You could load it up and then adjust the settings they advise.

Hi cheers, just a quick q in the bios there is no vCore setting?

What is the brand of your MB?

It could be labeled 'CPU Core Voltage' but you may need to change the 'offset mode' to access it depending on your MB.

The guys in the Customer Services Forum will have your settings ready to copy out onto the forum as they will have had to tinker with other 'arkham destructor' setups via forum posts - they may even have a PDF/doc with the major inputs listed... (i stress may). But they will def be able to walk you through your sytsem set up step by step without any confusion.

Hi its a gigabyte mb hope this helps :D

In 'PC Health' what is the vCore reading?

Then go to 'Advanced Voltage Settings' and give me the 'Dynamic Vcore (DVID) setting and the CPU PPL and Dram voltage.

While you're doing this - think about how you're going to compose a post to OcUK in the Overclocker's Customer Services forum ;)

Okay these are all default settings in the bios.

VCORE 1.356v
Dynamic VCORE: AUTO
CPU PPL: 1.800v AUTO
DRAM 1.500v AUTO

From your vCore i'm guessing that you've got your 'OcUK profile' loaded back on?

Your vCore is pretty robust for a 4.4GHz clock - and your PPL is what i expected.

If your memory is Corsair XMS3 or Kingston you could up the DRAM voltage to 1.54V. There's a chance that this 'may'be the cause of the 'overclock' failure.

If your unsure run CPUz to identfy yor memory - and while your there look at the memory TAB and jot down the frequency, timings and command rate (should be approx 800 (2x800=1600Mhz), 9 9 9 24 and 2T).

i loaded a profile clicked default?

What was the profile called - and when you say 'i clicked default' what do you mean.

I think you've definitely loaded up a clocked profile as the voltage is at the 'old' maximum recommended voltage and your CPU is reading 4.5GHz. But it's the 'i clicked deafaults' bit that's confusing me.

Ideally you would load the profile and then save and exit and then reenter the BIOS.

I would drop the multiplier to 44 from 45 too if your having stability issues as it's reporting the clock to be 4.5GHz and not 4.4Ghz. Dropping to 4.4GHz will probably get things stable again - and it's what your overclock was supposed to be set at so you wont be losing anything. Plus, there will not be any dsicernable speed difference.

Additional: If it becomes stable at 4.4GHz you may be able to drop the DRAM back to 1.5V - but i would establish its stability first by using and abusing it over the next 2 weeks. OR ideally, await OcUK's reply which i'm sure you've posted by now? ;)

Ahh right okay, sorry and what i meant is that when i clicked profile list it came up with a few options

last configuration
default configuration
and some other stuff, didn't see an Overclockers profile. So you think to just put the multiplier down and see how things go ?

Well, you've definetly loaded up an overclocked profile as the voltage, as mentioned previously, is pretty aggressive - but if the multiplier is set at 45 the relatively high voltage makes more sense.

And yes i would drop the multiplier to 44 and then save and exit. Then run CPUz and check the memory settings (memory tab) plus you could also run your stress test and double check the core speed in CPUz and the voltage under load.

kk thanks, what voltage is aggressive? and should i lower it ?
