Hi.
Unfortunately any results from overclocking will not be guaranatee, any issue leaving and running it at default specs?"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyone else come across these issues described below after upgrading to the F8 BIOS?
I had been using the F7 revision without any problems & OC'ing it at 3.4Ghz.
I upgraded to it, let it reboot with the Default Optimum settings as they recommend in their upgrade instructions & all was fine.
Then I decided to apply the same OC'ing settings I had when using the F7 version.
8O Now, the system just gets stuck in a reboot cycle if it boots up getting past the POST at all.
...later that sameday...
after clearing the CMOS with the motherboard jumper for the 10th time I tried again and again and again...
At other times it boots up, but it won't give me any display output at all. However it will still boot. I know this cuz I can shut my system down remotely from my other PC once I wait about 3-4 minutes.
For the heck of it I went back to the F7 BIOS version & all was well again. I reflashed from within the BIOS setup & still the same old S.H.I.T.
WTF??? 8O
H-E-L-P??? Thanx.
PS: I'm still waiting on a more realistic response worth my $265 USD which I paid for this mobo from Gigabyte's Tech support about this.
