Sorry, bit rushed for time as doing this on my lunch. I appreciate I have not given it much time & need to do some more research but things seem bit worrying.
System:
Asus p8p67 pro
2500k
Corsair Vengence pc3 12000 1600mhz
Asus gtx580
Corsair HX1000
Just made sidegrade from my i7 920 to this cause fancied a change & waiting for ivy bridge. Ironically i have never had an issue overclocking any cpu til I came across this suppose easy overcloking chip/board.
Parts put together, boot up, instal windows 7 64bit, instal mobo chipset & other software, driver software etc. Everything seems to be working til i try to overclock...
Left everything on auto for now as simply was trying a small overclock, so i change my cpu ratio from 34 to 35 for all cores (although i could not seem to manually set them, so maybe the issue?). Reboot, it just hangs on windows loading screen. Only way to seem to stop this is to run Defaults.
This was done last night & by time everything put together & software installed it was middle of night (2am school night). I went bed pretty frustrated. So this morning i thought i'd have a go just using Auto tune. It switches itself off & eventually back on to be greeting with same result, a hanging windows load screen. Again only fixed when ran default which allows it to windows. On screen was a message that it was at 3,700mhz 12% successful, but this seems to be just an error as i had loaded defaults & was running 3.4Ghz on prime.
So why cant this thing overclock at all? Again, i realise that i need to research bit more but surely Auto tune SHOULD work automatically but doesnt. My temps are fine, only using stock HSF as havent attached my WC yet, voltage seems fine.
Will be trying bit more tonight & thinking of reinstalling windows 7 & motherboard software because it just seems dodegy.
Would love to try bit more now but stuck going back to work. Any help is greatly appreciated.
