Unstable Overclocked Bundle

akakelvin · 5 Jun 2011 at 20:07

I recently bought the ("Krypton Ankylosaur" Intel Core i7 2600K 3.40GHz @ 4.60GHz Overclocked Bundle - Asus) and have been constantly getting random restarts (no BSODs showing some odd reason) with my PC due to instability issues with the overclock. I know its the overclocked causing the problem because I have tried running the PC with default BIOS configurations and it ran perfectly stable. Couldnt get much help from the support line as they recommended me to tweak the voltage slightly to find a stable v core voltage. I've tried a lot different voltages around the voltage that OCuK have installed on the motherboard and it still just restarts. Does anyone have this bundle recently purchased and have been experiencing the same issue? And have you managed to solve the problem too?

P.s.
The RAM installed isnt the one advertised in the bundle. Instead it is this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-203-CS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517

I assume OcUK supplied the RAM as a replacement as part of the bundle?

I wouldn't mess about with it. You paid to have a working overclocked bundle and that's what you should have.

Service Package
- Full 12 Month collect and return warranty
- Each specification is assembled from handpicked components for compatibility and stability
- Telephone, web note and forum technical support

Get OcUk to arrange collection and let them sort it out.

Don't mess about send it back.

You paid for a guaranteed overclock.

If it doesn't work use the guarantee.

Yeah the RAM installed should be a replacement as they are printed on the invoice as the one installed. And I'm going to send a WebNote to them now, thanks!

On the pre-set Overclocked profile, it was set to 1.350.

This.

Seems to have been a fair few of these posts lately too which isn't too good.
