Zero to Hero in under 24 hrs - X99 SOC-Champion OC'ing

Trisdov · 9 May 2015 at 15:56

despite trying everything i cannot for the life of me get this to overclock,

SOC- Champion x99 ( tried bios F4f, F4i )
i7 - 5820k
16GB 4x4GB corsair dominator DDR4
corsair HX850i PSU

everything i try is failing to boot and i keep getting the BIOS failure, i have even went so simple as to change the multiplier by 1......keeping everything else the same and it still fails to boot.

i have had the original board RMA'd and i have the replacement board today. still the same issue.

now im thinking its the CPU....

can ANYONE help PM me if you need to, maybe even phone me, £1500 on a rig that dont work is ****ing me off....

Trisdov · 9 May 2015 at 17:16

Trisdov · 9 May 2015 at 17:17

yay your back,

im doing F3y now on main machine, on laptop here

, give it a min then i can try

Trisdov · 9 May 2015 at 17:20

so....lets try a very simple OC mulitpier to 40 and CPU Vcore to 1.3?

that sound ok for a test?

Trisdov · 9 May 2015 at 17:22

ok you want me to try those settings?

Trisdov · 9 May 2015 at 17:24

right let me try that

on a side note when you press f10 to save does yours reboot x2?

Trisdov · 9 May 2015 at 17:30

nope it failed.....boot failure detected.

will any other hardware cause it, CD drives etc?

Trisdov · 9 May 2015 at 17:34

not really, i have a headset, keyb, mouse, usb3 extender cable (nothing connected)

on the usb headers on mobo i have H80i fan controller and corsair link for PSU

Trisdov · 9 May 2015 at 17:40

ohh hang on, ive just unplugged the corsair psu usb header and i think its worked on a multiplier of 36.

let me try 40

You definitely changed what i did?

copied it to the letter, im trying again with that usb header for the PSU off

Trisdov · 9 May 2015 at 17:52

yup worked with that header off

Trisdov · 9 May 2015 at 17:55

wtf?.....now thats its booted a few times i re-connected that header and its all working even with the OC...

Trisdov · 9 May 2015 at 18:00

right let me work through the XMP

Trisdov · 9 May 2015 at 18:08

profile 2 pushes it up

Trisdov · 9 May 2015 at 18:14

, saved it and trying now
