extreme overclocked bundle setup

Mightyashy · 20 Nov 2013 at 18:42

Hi,

I may end up making myself look pretty stupid here...

Just got my new PC together and installed windows, putting drivers on etc and checked CPU-Z which shows my CPU/memory as the following:

I'm guessing that isnt right? Should be 4.6ghz in the CPU screen shouldnt it?

Thanks,
Ash

it's probably idling. load a game or bench.

You can log into the bios and make sure the ocuk profile is loaded.

thanks, I'll give that a whirl. Not helping jumping ship to windows 8, really not getting on with it so far!

Run a stress test like prime95 and it should shoot up to the overclocked speed. Intel Speedstep will mean the CPU will run at a slower speed when it is not in use. I think my 2500K for example runs at 800MHz, 1600MHz, 2200MHz or 4600MHz (just off the top of my head)

The RAM looks okay, it is running at 2000MHz

cool, thought I may be asking a daft question

off topic - ive got the gigabyte z87x-oc board, if using sli and a sound card, what drivers should I install from all these listed on here (or should I just do them all anyway?) http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18527439

it's idling, or if it wont throttle up, check your power settings.

It's idling, run prime95 blend test at full whack and you will see the figure rise.

The RAM MHz figure is always shown as half too

Hi mate,

Is this right?

Deffo not right

Mightyashy · 21 Nov 2013 at 22:11

Ah, sli not working either. Well, it's on and set in windows but I get the same or sometimes worse score in heaven benchmark. Thought something wasn't right...

Mightyashy · 23 Nov 2013 at 10:57

switched the bios to the back up bios on the board and its now at 3.5ghz. so...

how do I go about sorting my overclock back working?

. Restart/power on your computer. When you see the BIOS image, press DEL to enter the BIOS

2. Once inside, please navigate to the Save and Exit tab

3. Inside this tab there should be an option to "Load Profile"

4. Please load the profile in here called OcUK/Profile1

5. Once loaded, please select the Save and Exit option to save changes.

Question did you update your bios?

no, the settings ocuk set just didnt work when I set it all up. all ive done is switch to the back up bios on the board

I'd drop Ocuk support an email through the forum, or via a webnote then mate, they should be able to give you a hand sorting out your overclock settings mate
