Sli problem

[Mightyashy]

FFS i feel your pain, re-install Heaven 4 , GPU-Z can see them so it cannot be the dip-switch. Down load Cinebench and run Open-GL that ill compare that.

ok mate, does it matter that im running the basic edition? assume not.

slightly off topic but was trying to check the cpu/mem and got told when running prime95 it would go up and reflect the correct overclock. did this...

 

[Mightyashy]

Run Real Temp GT, you must have CPU EIST Function, CPU Enhanced Halt and C3/C6 State Support enabled in the Bios, run Real Temp with Prime to get live feed back on cpu usage and temps. 3.522v is pretty high as well, i have a bad 4770k and will not go above 4.4GHz at 1.30v. You must be hitting 90c with prime.

Only use Prime as a guide for your overclock it means naff all about stability, or you will be putting cpu volts up just to run prime stable.

Ok mate, all settings done by overclockers, im clueless when it comes to overclocking stuff.

Ran cine and got this:

Email me in trust with your tele number its your Bios setting i will go though them with you

Should a least



Its your Bios you only running a 0.7GHz chip lol, should have seen that earlier but its the beer lol.

ive been saying this for a bit but got told it was idling hahaha! are you ok giving us a shout tomorrow night mate, going to have to get my head down for work. do you think the CPU speed has been bottlenecking the cards perhaps?

 

[Mightyashy]

Lol at 0.7GHz its a bottleneck alright.

haha!

weird you know, as I loaded the ocuk profile, and it said on the opening bios screen 4.6ghz just not anywhere else. everyone I spoke to said it was just idling so thought nothing of it

 

[Mightyashy]

Thanks lads, seeing some light at the end of the tunnel at least

Today is going to drag in work now wanting to get this thing flying haha!

 

[Mightyashy]

If you got an OC profile saved in your bios then try loading optimized defaults to see if the cpu goes to max speed at stock to eliminate any cpu problems and if it does then it should be the motherboard or something set wrong on the OC profile.My haswell system was a right utter ballache to get going at first....one week of utter frustration with issues but well worth it in the end and no issues at all now hope you get it sorted.

Thanks mate, will give that a go, the profile is definitely saved, I checked.

The CPU being so slow couldnt be down to me incorrectly fitting the k2 cooler could it? Its very securely on and I used the thermal paste that came with it so just want to make sure I've not done something wrong there.

 

[Mightyashy]

No or your temps would be higher and more uneven in Real Temp even in its low cpu speed. Its just in the Bios settings.

cool, we ok for sorting later mate? if you play games by the way ive got a few spare serials you could choose from for the help, got the new Batman and Splinter Cell Blacklist, it's not much but I genuinely appreciate the help you have given us here, saved me kicking it to bits

 

[Mightyashy]

appears I have a broken chip

thanks again zuladawn, you have been a massive help!

 

[Mightyashy]

So optimized defaults still runs at 800mhz?Oo

yep, he took me through loads of different settings, the ocuk profile, defaults, the lot.

really weird, shows it in the main window as 4.6, 3.5 etc but in the cpu status its 7xxmhz. booted into windows on all the above and shows as 7xx in real temp and cpu-z

pretty annoyed tbh, waited over a week to get this with testing the overclock, had a few mess ups with delivery (not my fault) and now this. chip was already in the board and the thermals look right so cant see it being anything ive done.

bit of a nightmare

 

[Mightyashy]

the plot thickens!

booted from the back up bios and its now at 3.6ghz

[Mightyashy]

Cool, you can try going to the first Bios and either write all the settings down or save that OCUK profile to a usb stick and then go back to the second Bios and write or save the profile from the usb stick then you will be done.
Very weird the first Bios must be corrupt, we should have tried a Bios reset last night but i did not want you to lose the OCUK profile incase you needed to send it back, still looking good now at least.

I rang them up and they said to clear the CMOS, said they could send me the settings again if it worked ok. So I was looking on the board and noticed the dual bios, did a little dance when it worked hahaha!

Thanks again for the help last night mate

 

[Mightyashy]

thanks mate
