Hi there guys!
I recently finished building my very first PC rig from scratch, it works perfectly and several weeks ago i came around to trying overclocking for the very first time. I did some research and had a cautious go at it from within the BIOS.
I aimed to get my CPU which is a I7-3930K to 4.5Ghz, i did as the guides said and set all the cores to 45, i also set the the voltage to around 1.35.
However, after saving the settings it appeared that everything was going well, no BSOD and all stress tests went perfectly, no crashes. However, when shutting down the PC completely at the end of the day and leaving it off for a while to let it cool. When i go to turn it on it performs a false start. (Turning on for a few seconds then shutting off then turning back on again, the single beep code also had a slide delay before the PC started normally.)
I thought nothing of this until today, the PC failed to start up at all, turned on for half a second, off again, on again, off again. The resulted in having to press in the RESET button on the motherboard, when the PC booted up after this, it did another small false start then came up with OVERCLOCKING FAILED.
I have now pressed F5 on the bios and reset it back to recommended defaults.
It's clear I'm not very good at overclocking! Lol!
If someone could give me a hand to get my PC up to 4.5Ghz without the start up issues, i would really appreciate it! Thanks And please don't link me to just some guide someone wrote, I'd prefer 1x1 help, perhaps even through skype.
I've also had people mention VRAM frequency's and timing and voltages to me, which i have no clue about and never set before, some help on this too would also be appreciated.
Cheers!
My Rig is as follows:
