I cant get the thing to overclock , if i enable geine overclcoking the board will set the cpu at 4.2 .
If i try and manually set the valuve , it saves setting exits reboots , then always the defaults load up , what am i doing wrong ......
 
Are you making sure to hit enter after you have put a value in? I know from personal experience with my Asus board unless you hit enter it will revert back to the stock value.
 
ah thanks ;) now seem to be stuck at 4.6 ghz , but on the board there is 2 4x4 power connector sockets to supply the cpu with power , my psu only has 1 4 x4 so i suppose that will limit my overclock as well?
 
I would have thought so, the 4+4 pin supplys the CPU power, perhaps time to invest in a new PSU :)

If your not planning to SLI, something in the 650w range would probably suffice, though if your aiming for a multi card setup in the future, you may want to look towards 800w+. Though I can't say for sure, someone on here would point you in the right direction.

You can buy one of these cables mate to make it 8 pin

Akasa 4 pin to 8 pin ATX PSU adapter cable [AK-CBPW10-15BK] £3.49 inc VAT

Edit: ohh I see you do have a 4 + 4 cable on the psu to make it 8pin, you have 2 8pin cpu power on the mobo, not sure if you could use this cable to make the 2 4pins to 2 8pins.
