So I got my bundle back that didn't boot the first time.
This time I managed to boot but it reset bios to default as it had some compatability issue with the settings. I also its not picking up my hard drive. I used the same cables from before as I presume all data cables would detect it so how come its not picking it up. do I have to use the data cables that came with the board because my dvd drive is picked up fine.
 
I managed to fix that. I turned out a cable was slightly out. The I have an issue installing Windows now.

It says windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an mbr partition table. on efi systems windows can only be installed to gpt disks.
 
Yeah that worked brilliantly. Installing now. What should I do about the over clock that iv lost since it reset bios to default. should I just contact oc for that.
 
I just looked at that for my gigabyte mb. It says f12 is to load profiles but it says f12 is just print screen when I look.
 
I finally found it. I just had to move across to the last icon then you can see load profiles.

Are the temps normal for that overclock. its 33 degrees in bios on default settings and with the 4.4ghz overclock the temps are 45 degrees in bios. Is that okay?

its the Intel Core i5 3570K 3.40GHz @ 4.40GHz DDR3 Ivybridge Overclocked Bundle.
 
i have the same cpu cooler as you. Do you have the fan at the back of the case behind the heatsink sucking air out of the case or blowing air into the MB/cpu.
 
yeah mines set to the same as you and i have the case off the side also. I presume the temps are safe with the overclock enabled.
 
Here is a picture of my case. How does this look for airflow?

There is a large fan right at the top one at the back, the cpu fan and another smaller fat at the front of the case. Do the cables look in okay places?
