Possible Psu Problem

aslong as your sure they are for onboard,don't forget the 3770k is different to the 2500k

hyperthreading ect

bent pins usually = memory issues,same as overtightened cpu cooler/flexing motherboard

done a cmos clear yet? it could be messed up slightly from your old cpu being in there

dual channel and two sticks is always slots 2 and 4

0 1 0 1

1 being ram stick installed 0 being empty

Going to try removing the Cmos battery and see if that helps.
The ram has always been in slots 2&4.
Before I bought the mobo, I got the pin layouts for the board( from Asus forum moderator) and the chip( from Intel). Using the two together all 3 pins were associated with the onboard graphics. I also checked it 3 times to make sure before buying it and the results were the same. And I have never had a problem with it.

try re seating cpu a few times aswell,maybe its disturbed something

Just realised that to remove the battery I have to take the thermal shield off. Now I do have a clear RTC RAM jumper switch, so would this work, saves having to virtually strip the system out.
 
yeah if you leave it on a for a while 10-15minutes,hold in front panel power switch to discharge the board of power

Update.

Took the chip out to find it had bent a few pins, so took it to this guy I know, who managed to straight them out as best he could. He reseated the chip and I took it home. But I thought I would check it was OK before building the system up again. But for some reason it had flattened a couple of the pins he had already sorted. Any way, did a bit of jiggling and got it all up and running. But as soon as I upped the ram frequency, I kept getting blue screens and ram voltages of 1.66500v. This was using Win 7 on my ssd.
Tried an installation of Win 8 on a hdd and all up and running. Now I have to see if I can run the ram at 1600 and at 1.65000v.
Temps as I write this are just under 30c@idle.
 
I seem to have everything back to normal now. Will take some screen shots of my bios settings and post them in the other thread tomorrow, in 8packs section.
And thanks for the help and advice so far wassa, really appreciate it.
 
ahh im glad you got things sorted out

you went through a bit of hassle but got there in the end,looking forward to seeing some overclocks;)

I have it running stable at 4.5Ghz and temps just under 70c. Will run Prime95 when I go to bed and monitor temps and voltages. What`s the best setting to run on Prime95? Ram voltages seem a bit high but will also try lowing them when tomorrow as well.
 
well I don't use prime95 tbh,but a blend test will test cpu and memory

I just do 5 runs in ibt then lots and lots of gaming,you'll see that ivy is a bit different to sandy when finding stability

ivy will fall down almost instantly in gaming and yet can be ibt and prime95 stable,games will crash to desktop if your too low still on cpu voltage

don't have that happen with sandy,it will just fail the stress test or crash in something besides games

Oh so I was right about the pins then? ;) Where's the love? :'(

Give OCCT a bash dude in Linpack mode. I personally prefer it to Prime. You can monitor temps and voltages, easily set a time period and it generates handy graphs for you to review once the test is complete.

Really glad you are on track now bud :)

Just had 2 hours on Crysis 3 without any problems, so must be stable. :D

Tried both OCCT and IntelBurntest, temps were in the 80s.:eek:

I will be playing around with it tomorrow. Got a couple of fans to put in the front and a fan controller to install. Then I can get the side panels back on and see how much cooler it will be.
 
what cpu v are you using at the mo? dare I ask?

remember 4.5ghz on ivy = 4.8ghz on sandy roughly so not to be sniffed at
 
wazza300 said:
that's alright

my 2600k needs more for 4.5ghz

but less is always better if you can get it

That is the part I can`t get my head round. If I lower the voltage, how do I stop it from increasing again when stress testing. What other settings do I need to adjust?
