I cant get into my bios, my pc reboots too quick and i dont think my Logitech G510 powers up fast enough before windows is loading lol. I want to OC the cpu to 4.4 as initial test but currently cant get into the bios to do it hahah

I had a similar problem with fast boot enabled, if you have the "App Center" installed you can select enter bios or change the fast boot options with the Fast boot app.
 
Corsair have finally replied, and should be sending me 2 replacement IO panels. Hopefully this sorts out my issues.

If not I will have no choice but to assume the problem lies with the motherboards and request an RMA.
 
Does anyone use the power saving function on these?
I've got mine to downclock and its fine at 1.25V, but if I change the voltage to normal and put an offset on it to 1.27V, so it then puts voltage down as well with the clocks, then it becomes unstable in prime.
So I'm guessing its more voltage or live without the voltage decreasing. Oh and LLC is set to turbo, I did try high, but when it failed put it upto turbo again.
 
Haha well thats true, but the point is its stable at 1.25v when set manually but isn't at 1.27V when set to normal with an offset and I need to have it stable or she kicks my butt!!! I would ideally like to have it automatically lowering the voltage while on idle though,
 
you might need slightly more offset compared to fixed cpu to be stable

if it failed on high llc then you can add a touch more offset remember,(besides raising the llc level)

some droop is fine aslong as its stable,it might let you get away with slightly less cpu v,allowing for slight vdroop
 
I see the problem now, with the offset it puts it to 1.233V but when I stress the cpu it goes upto 1.287V and fluctuates between that and 1.233V while running.
So is there anything I can do to stabalise this?
Is it even worth it and I'm I trying to do something that isn't worth while and I should just leave it set at 1.25V and forget about it?
 
Looks like I have a second g1 sniper z87 with a problem, although this one I think is because my Kuhler 920 has leaked coolant onto it. The CPU fan header has stopped working, seems the others work fine tho. Wondering if I can plug a CPU cooler into the fan controller on my case and control it via another header? I'm not sure if the motherboard is covered under RMA in this scenario? Just not sure of anything right now. It's one thing after another it seems :(
 
No way gutted :( How old is the cooler? As I know corsair cover you for any damage if the cooler leaks. This is why I decided to get an air cooler, as with my luck this is what would happen to me.
Liquid is never good with electronics, I wouldn't have thought it was covered under RMA is its usually classed as physical damage, you could always ask in CS?
I believe you can run them off a fan controller, but I wouldnt have thought it would be as controlled as a cpu fan header. Would certainly have to try stress testing it and keep an eye on temps.
Although if it has leaked, hasn't it had it?
 
Yeah I wouldn't trust it now tbh. The pipe connecting to the radiator seems to have failed under the plastic retention clip.

I have submitted a ticket to Antec and they just sent me an RMA form for it. But that still leaves me with a faulty motherboard and possibly faulty Gpu.

I was going to get a full custom loop but I'm having second thoughts on that now. Definitely would not use another AIO as it currently stands :( lost faith in them now however I will say it was working brilliantly until tonight. My lucks been really poor these past few weeks it seems though.
 
Gigabyte might repair it,if they spot any coolant traces tho they might refuse rma

Personally I'd stick with a high end air cooler

@los it often spikes like that if your on the edge voltage wise,usually one or two clicks less offset cures it,it try lower level llc and more offset till it stays at 1.233v
 
Tell them it has damaged your motherboard and find out if your gpu is damaged to and see if they will do anything about it, like I say I know corsair cover it, I think I remember reading that antec do as well.
Would rma be to overclockers or gigabyte?
Cheers wazza, will give it a go
 
I have recently built up a system with this mobo and i7 4770. After installing Windows 7 Pro 64 bit my 3 Tb Seagate Baraccuda is left with only 2.2. I thought that the BIOS was UEFI and I would not suffer from the MBR limitation (although it seems to be the case).

The questions I have is: is there any option I could "find" the missing part, for example via BIOS or third party software without re-installing Windows?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Jordan
