Supersaurus overclock issue?

mrlizard · 12 Nov 2011 at 10:01

Just took delivery of supersaurus, on boot it came up with an error about voltage and reset itself to 3.3ghz, i know there is supposed to be a profile in the bios and its obvious on my other machine but on this one i can load optimized defaults or load factory safe defaults, any idea where the profile is or how i load it??

Any help would be appreciated, this is the first machine i havent built myself!

I can't be a good sign if the overclock has failed on the first start up.

Anyway, assuming it's a Gigabyte Z68X-UD5 motherboard, you press F12 while on the main menu BIOS screen to load profiles.

Thats done the trick, 4.5 seems fine and the cpu temp seems to be at 35deg under load.

Thanks a lot for that

You're welcome.

Hopefully it was just a glitch.

Edit

Isn't it supposed to be 4.6GHz?

Yes but the profile is set to 4.5something, tbh im happy with that, must have been a glitch on first boot.

If you're happy, I'm happy

Just to give anyone else considering this system an update, bf3 and skyrim set on ultra and pc been on for 24 hours with no problems, very impressed

I did tick the gtx 580 option but standard other than that. 7.7/7.9 win score
