PSU>CPU (check?) PSU>Motherboard (check?) PSU>Is button in back set on? If no fans are spinning, make sure your case wires are connected correctly into the motherboard, such as the PWR SWTCH, LED+, -, etc (use manual). If that doesn't work, then your motherboard might be damaged.

Manual cpu core ratio sync: 47 Manual voltage override: 1.150 My question is, in CPUID HWMonitor, there are values VID #0-7 and I assume they are related to the voltage each core is receiving. If so, if my manual voltage override is set to 1.150, then why am I seeing a max of 1.214v being used...

I guess ill take my cpu back and not overclock, thanks for the help.

New motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-E. I tried overclocking the CPU in the bios, but I think it's grayed out. I'm trying to manually adjust the core ratio, but it doesn't let me. Can someone tell me how to do this? If it's not a huge deal, can someone explain the difference from overclocking...

new setup, fans going sideways out back of case. 1000w evga supernova replaced and new ram sticks, gonna test after i get the z390 asus rog strix

I got the Corsiar Vengeance rgb Pro DDR4 16GB (2-8GB) @ 3000mhz. My question is does my motherboard need to have XMP in bios for the ram to be overclocked higher than 2133mhz? My motherboard is the MSI Z370 SLI PLUS, I don't believe it supports XMP profiles. (there cannot overclock DDR4 RAM?)

Inside look of cooler

ThermalTake 750W Bronze PSU. Could it really be not enough power delivery? Booting up today, I had immediately crashed, so I had to system restore again. I changed XTU default ghz to 3.6ghz just to be safe today. Idle temps about 40-50c now.

"Your PC ran into a problem and requires a restart" loop... I think something is permanently damaged, before going to bed I was able to get into windows. I had to restore, but if this is gonna keep happening, I think I need to take the cpu back for a refund. To keep it short, I was overclocking...

The case is thermaltake 32 tg temp glass mid-atx tower with default fans (1 in back, 2 in front). Im using a noctua nhd15 as my cpu cooler. These fans are pointed upwards or down, not really sure which direction. I usually startup XTU on startup and use default 4.7ghz. I use that software to...

Yes, auto voltage in bios. I used 1.2v when I was overclocking in XTU. I didnt mess with voltage offset.

I recently upgraded to an i9-9900K. I used the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility program to start overclocking. I'm still very new to overclocking CPUs, so i started slowly and used default settings. After many crashes, I went back to default ghz (which is 4.7) and tried running a benchmark. It also...

New optical drive fixed the issue.

Might be dead driver.

I cant open the optical drive. It needs to be recognized by bios for it to even power on i suppose. Could it be because it is 3Gbs optical drive and i only have 6Gbs connector or is it okay?
