It looks like they've got these bundles coming off a production line now and aren't putting in due care and attention, you'd probably need water to keep it cool at those settings.

This is what I am beginning to suspect unfortunately :( They just get it to whatever advertised speed in the easiest and fastest way and not the most efficient. Never buying another overclocked bundle from them again. Expert overclockers maybe, bit careless though.
 
Having felt the backplate once the cpu has hit 95c. it doesn't feel warmer than 25c. Its not scorching hot as i thought it would be.

The heatsink however is quite warm, but not hot. So i don't understand :confused:

The hsf is clamped down, it wont move when i try to budge it (not much force)
Screws are dead tight..

Prime hasn't failed at all, left it running for 20 mins yesterday. Letting it run now. All cores above 90, first core 94c fluctuating.. And this is with both sides of the case off. All fans definately facing the right way.. Used a piece of paper to check airflow.

To give the consumer a choice of 3 fans without any indication of how each fan runs at 4ghz (under average room temp) isn't exactly helping anybody. To choose the Noctua SE2 for an optional extra had me thinking it would be appropriate for this speed. God knows how poorly the Akasa fan given away with the bundle cools at this speed (4ghz).

I was awaiting the delivery of this 4ghz bundle, while really looking forward to opening it up and have it running asap, plus I had to save up a couple of months to buy it. Now it's in my hands i feel ripped of all the excitement. :(
 
fluidz, sorry to hear of your overclock bundle problem, the best way is to email ocuk support and or you can phone up support to get this sorted out. I would take it back and let ocuk staff have a look for you. You had 12 months under warranty with them. Good luck mate and I really do hope that your overclock bundle will be more stable and better temperature pretty soon. I just notice your screen, your north bridge temperature is pretty bad indeed at 67C !!!! As mine is just 38C when overclocked 4.4Ghz!
 
Dont CPU's shut down or at least slow themselves way down when they start to thermal throttle at like 100C? So maybe it is faulty sensors?

I am merely speculating ofc.

I have emailed them so eagerly awaiting a reply. After running prime now for 1 hour, the temps are hitting 100c on core 1, as said in realtemp, yet theres no throttling in cpu-z (still 4ghz).. And no errors in Prime95 at all.. :confused:

My northbridge is showing up as 72c in Everest at the time on prime running.

That's what i thought. I'm just running realtemps sensor test now, to see what it reports back.

can't see it being faulty sensors as they are individual sensors on there.

Pretty sure daveyboy had really hot chip which he RMA try droping him a message

Ignore NB temp is a little hot but fine, bulldog is obsessed with temps :p
 
Result of realtemp movement test

Temps are idle btw. Both sides off the chassis. Room temp - 18c.

Shows 0 movement on all 4 cores. What does this mean?

Btw i've sent a rma request with details just in case.
But would like to resolve this today if possible as its my day off work Lol.. 12 hour shifts in the week.

Would like to thank everyone for the suggestions and support you're giving me.

The Backplate of the chassic (behind the motherboard, chassis - coolermaster cosmos 1000) is just moderately warm, but doesnt reflect the temp of the readings.

Is there a program, made by Gigabyte or any other third party, that would read the temps directly from the bios?

Did you try setting QPI/VTT manually yet like I suggested earlier? leaving voltages on auto is generally bad.

Set it at 1.3v, leaving all other settings intact, ocuk profile.

Bios took longer to boot, 10 seconds.. Windows loading, about to load login , pc restarts.. Second time, starts up, windows loading screen, bsod..

Before i changed it to 1.3 Btw, the reading was 1.2v in the bios, even though it was set on auto.
 
Just started the pc, and it wouldnt even post 2 times, kept on restarting.. Now im in the bios, im reverting it back to auto.. I hope it never did any damage.
 
Those readings in the BIOS just show what the stock values should be.

Reducing the QPI to 1.3V and having the computer crash must mean the QPI volts is quite a lot higher, it sounds to me like you got a bit of a bad chip and OCUK just pumped silly volts through it without any regard to temperature..

Ok reverted it back, windows is loading again.

Is there anything else i can do?

Why would realtemp show no sensor movement? Also is 1.3v the norm for 4ghz ?

Thanks.
