Hi
I have the -
*OVERCLOCKED* Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz @ 4.00GHz / Gigabyte EX58-UD5

Well had to take it into overclockers the day after i received it as would not run ...they found the graphics card was faulty ...but as i had to reset the bios the setting were removed for the 4ghz overclock .
Well they put the settings back in but as there was no operating system on it they did not do a stress test .
Well i have just done a stress test and had a few errors .

[Sat May 30 14:50:04 2009]
FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.4921875, expected less than 0.4
Hardware failure detected

[Sat May 30 14:55:24 2009]
FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4
Hardware failure detected

FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.48828125, expected less than 0.4
Hardware failure detected

First error was for cpu #0 , second for cpu #1 and the third was for cpu #6

I rang overclockers but they said best to bring it in to them(dont really want to go back there again..long drive ) but is there anything i can try first ? changing settings in bios etc ?
im have never done any overclocking before so very new to this .
Also i keep getting errors in windows vista 64bit which overclockers say prob to do with the overclock settings .

If best to take back than mess about then looks like i will have too :(

Any help most appreciated

hi karlos103

i was not aware that you had been in - i hadn't been informed there was a problem with a bundle - i do apologise

if you post your email address in a new thread in the customer support forums

i will send you a copy of the bios settings and tell you everything you need to do

No need to apologise , i only found out there was an issue with the overclocking this afternoon so you were not to know ....
When i came in to have it looked at the first time they were going to do a stress test and asked me what operating system i was putting on ...i said vista 64bit and XP dual booting ...he asked what version of vista which i did not know ....he went off then came back with the system so guess they did not do the stress test ..lol
I have sent email address ...but will probably pop up monday after work and leave it with you , i finish at 3pm so should be there for 4ish

Many Thanks again for getting back to me :)

well this morning i switched it on and it booted up straight away ...which was unusual as when you normally switch it on from the mains then the power button , it will start...then stop ...then restart and run fine .
Well i have just looked and the overclock settings have gone ...so back to standard clock speed. I have not pressed the cmos clear button or anything .
Seems weird how it has clear the bois to standard when have not done anything . it did crash twice in xp last night and would not boot first time ...seemed to start then stop twice in a row .
well doing a stress test now to see how it goes on standard

i have notice there is a new bios update out for this board , would it be worth putting it on before i take it in morrow for overclockers to look at it ?
im running f6 bios ....f7 is out now

i took it in today to overclockers and he set it all up , said all the timings were out ....said he did a prime test for 10 mins with no problems .
i have just run it again from cold , runs for 5 mins ....cpu 1 , 4 and 6 fail ....but no blue screen of death this time .
when i did the stress test yesterday it was at standard clock speed ...2.66ghz ...all fine , ran it for 45 mins
now overclocked again does not last 5 mins

Best thing to do is contact Rich , he is the oveclock master .
I did take mine back and he altered the settings but still kept playing up , he thinks my chip is duff ....so had to send motherboard back with cpu and ram and he is doing stress test on another bundle just to make sure its fine , then will send it back to me ...so fingers crossed .
Def contact Rich ( rjkoneil ) ..he's the man !!!
