Hi all,
I currently have a Gigabyte z68xp-ud3p on the f7 bios. I have also tried the u1g bios and have the same problems. Basically I struggle to get more than 4.3Ghz stable, and the most annoying thing, my computer will sometimes refuse to post after a reboot. It's a known issue with this board and is a lot better with the newer bios. But When you are overclocking .... You are always restarting and going into the the bios. And everytime I do that after the pc crashes it will refuse to post etc. I have to go through a lengthy process to get it to post. So it makes overclocking and tweaking PAINFUL!!!
Now my options are as follows .... get a much better board and see how far I can take this 2500k ... Or just abandon sandy. Which for the most part is fine for my 970. I just want some more cpu power for certain games.
Can anyone suggest a good replacement?
Andy
