Yeah. Unfortunately I don't have the money to test it like that myself. So I I'll have to take it into a local computer shop for them to test

Is it possible the processor or even memory is damaged and so it’s trying to hold back or something? I’ve been able to get the memory to 2400, from 2133. Intel specs on the 6850k is 2133 / 2400. Cache ratio up to 36, any further it doesn’t like to start or requires some serious fine tuning. But...

Well, finally got my replacement motherboard today. Unfortunately, still the issue remains. Only able to overclock using intel's extreme tuning utility, and it shows the same as before, 2 cores locked in at 40 and the other 4 at 40 and showing automatically being "proposed" to the 40, with a...

A little odd update: So yesterday my MOBO was approved for a return to ASROCK for them to test the board and tell me whether or not I get a new one or nothings wrong with it, which will leave me without a computer for about 3 weeks or so. I booted up my computer for the first time today, and to...

Sucks to say, but nothings fixed the issue. Asrock support tells me the cpu is the issue, but I can file a warranty claim if I want. Theyll probably want my board to test it and try to repair it or send me a new one, or throw it back at me and say nothings wrong with it. I sent the tech support...

That I will have info for you in about 8 to 9 hours when I get home from work. Going to call asrock on my lunch break here in a few hours and see if they got anything that can do an actual full on factory reset to bios.

So I tried the bios 2 option, cause the manual says, "This motherboard has two BIOS chips, a primary BIOS (BIOS_A) and a backup BIOS (BIOS_ B), which enhances the safety and stability of your system. Normally, the system will work on the primary BIOS. However, if the primary BIOS is corrupted or...

Well, I tried one called real temp, it showed the same as cpuz running 3.8 when oc was higher. So same result on that one. I’ll download that one right before I reset windows and I’ll let ya know

I just finished last night moving over all my game files and what not to my hdd with no os, going to do the windows reset tonight. I know some cores migh not be all the same some times, but I know I do have it set to all cores 43, And my overclock I had before I started this mess everything...

No, I got off work late and didn’t get home til almost 9 only had a couple hours to tinker so no windows reset yet. Power limits in bios are auto, I don’t know about whether or not the power limits in the utility are correct or not, just what it’s reading from bios defaults I guess? I manually...

Edit: Task manager shows 3.8 as well. Link to gallery: https://postimg.cc/gallery/2r8e79h8k/

Update: from default settings I tried base clock of 3.6, it runs at 3.8. Changed cpu ratio to 37 it runs at 3.7, 38 runs at 3.8, 39 runs at 39, according to core temp 38 according to cpuz. But here’s a catch, intel extreme tuning utility shows core 1 and 2 running 40 and 3 to 6 running 37. A...

Hm, ok. I’m going to reinstall windows, find out how to do a factory reset on the mobo tonight, and if I have to try the secondary bios 2 switch

Yeah I’m definitely not going to touch bclk again. I have booted it at 3.6 but it always runs 3.8 according to club and 4.0 according to core temp. Only when I use that intel utility to software oc it do they show identical numbers. I have not tried anything below 4.0 because of that. When I get...
