Built my new system yesterday using the ovelcockers 'overclocked bundle' (Gigabyte UD5/6gb Patriot RAM/ i7 920 D0/ 4.0ghz overclock). I specified the 4.00ghz overclock option, but it is only running at 3.82 ghz? Am I doing something wrong?
Also I have noted many others with the same package stating they have a USB stick with BIOS settings on it or something? I certainly dont have one with my package - is it missing or discontinued? And what if I lose the BIOS settings? My expertise does not match those of overclockers to get them back!!
Also, the 4.2ghs option is an extra £200? Anyone know why? Liquid cooling maybe? Seems a lot for .2ghz and it has me intregued!
I built this system to run Flight Sim a little smoother and as apparently there is not a system out there that can run Flight Sim x at full options, I was hoping to squeeze as much out of this as possible!
Any help for an overclocking newbie fellas - ta!
