Hi There,

The names Dan. :)

I'm pretty new to overclocking although thought id buy the correct gear and give it a decent go as i've always wanted to. Atm i'm at a bit of a loss, i bought an already overclocked system from Scan and unfortunately i've had to flash the bios to normal settings, and i'm assuming they haven't left an OC profile to load. Anyway.

Hers my specs:

Cooled with 4x nzxt case fans (in switch 810) and a corsair h100i on the 3930k


Running an Asus rampage iv extreme.


Ok so, if anyone could give me some settings to input and trial for overclocking cpu/memory i'd be greatly appreciative as i didn't really buy this computer to run stock! The cpu is stock 3.2ghz, boost 3.8ghz but the memorys running at 934mhz according to cpu-z but other programs say 1866? i don't get that part :/

Thanks guys!


Oh, also. I don't seem to be able to unlock my 3tb harddrive using the unlocker tool asus provides.... any thoughts on this as its only showing up as 1.81tb?


All help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

(Bit of a noob when it comes to all of this!)

That's because cpu-z only shows one of the ram sticks, so if you do the maths 2x934=1866

I've realized this now and feel ashamed! Thanks for the reply, turns out there was an OC profile saved to my bios... fail!
