Hi there my overclock from 3.5ghz to 4.00ghz was a success with my Hyper 212 Evo and M5A97 R2 EVO 6.2 Power phase motherboard temps top 65 degrees which is good enough for me now the real problem why does my memory (RAM) fail my overclock i am just putting it at its rated speed 2400mhz (CORSAIR DDR3) it refuses to boot (OVERCLOCKING FAILED PRESS F1 TO ENTER BIOS ) then everything goes back to its default settings

Why is the RAM refusing to boot my computer when any overclock is applied? it boots fine when the CPU is back to factory settings 3.5ghz

Any ideas i disabled cool and quite all other settings are on there original settings including the CPU Voltage power supply is 1000 watts

Thanks

Joe

How did you OC? Manually or auto? What's your ram voltage?
Your ram might not be able to run at 2400 adjust the Memory Divider to a lower value and keep in mind RAM above 1866 should run at 1.6v not 1.5v.
Check this place out for more info on your setup.
