Hi guys,
New to this forum (just signed up today)
I am also New to Overclocking, and my lack of knowledge on the subject.
I have found a few guides on other forums but I struggle to follow them..(was unable to track down guides people were mentioning here).
is someone able to give me a hand through this so I understand and can get the best out of my system while maintaining a stable environment.
Below are my current Specs:
CASE: NZXT H440 Mid Tower Case - Razer Special Edition
Motherboard: ASUS X99-Deluxe/U3.1 Intel X99, DDR4, ATX, LGA2011
CPU: Intel Haswell-E Core i7 5930K 6 Core 12 Threads 3.5Ghz 15M Cache LGA2011
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H110i GTX Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
Memory: Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 Vengeance LPX 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4-3200 CL16
VideoCard: (Currently running an older video Card, soon to be a EVGA 980xi Hybrid)
Powersupply: (Currently running a Corsair 650 watt, will be replacing for a new PSU when I replace video card)
Primary HD: Samsung 850 EVO Series 250GB 2.5" SATA3 SSD (MZ-75E250BW)
Few issues so far:
my memory originally only showed speeds of 2100mhz, upon flicking the XMP switch on my MBoard, my PC would no longer boot correctly. turn the switch off, go into BIOS I could see it had enabled the 3200mhz profile but it didn't like this I suspect. I even tried to manually change the speeds in BIOS to slower like 3000, 2800 and it still didn't like it.
reset bios.
Attempted to Overclock via the Asus Software, this seemed to work and I am getting a 4.6GHZ O.C on my CPU, it has O.C my memory to 2400mhz which is better than 2100, but not the 3200 I was expecting when I purchased the components.
I have read mixed reviews in terms of using the ASUS software to O.C, but I don't know enough to what I should be doing in the BIOS to overclock without boot failure.
on a side note: my CPU while gamming games like CS:GO is around 60 deg c
I thought my CPU cooler would be working a lot more efficiently than that, when my cooler is running to cool the CPU they are noisy as hell!!!
sorry for the wall of text. I hope you are able to help.
un familiar with any diagnostics tools or anything like that either, but if you step me through them I should be fine
appreciate any help and thank you all in advance!
