Ya, I'm not entirely sure why either it was just a problem I encountered with an older Gigabyte board. I had to make sure pretty much all apps were closed and that I didn't have the high performance power plan set in windows when I put ti to sleep or it would wake into a boot loop. Then I gave...

Just a few I literally built it 3 weeks ago. I get between 1450-1497 marks on ITU. My Fire Strike score was 18,890 two days ago. I think that was before I installed the latest nvidia driver but I could be mistaken. It says Graphics score 24,634 physics score 13,454 combined score 8,818 and the...

Ya man I paid 319 for my 6700k then my pc store has a 30 day price match guarantee so last week I found it as cheap as 269 so I got 50 bucks bak from their price match. I got my 6700k for 269 very excited and the 6600k was under 200 last week. Holidays are the best for this stuff.

Well give a little more than that. I don't think there's a chip in the world you wouldn't safe giving it 1.30-1.35. Make sure you don't have any xmp profiles on for your memory. Try going down to one stick (the slot closest to the cpu) of ram. Try with one, if it boots shut down and try with a...

Ya I hear you, I hope you're able to solve this. Maybe if you just restart it a few times it'll get used to booting and you won't have the problem anymore. That's really cruddy to hear because Overclocking feels like such an accomplishment the first time you arrive on stable settings that I wish...

Glad to hear it man, have a good day. If you have any more questions let me know.

Well that totally sucks. I wish I were able to help you more with this but I'm not sure if I can. Just repeat the steps and when you are able to boot then flash the bios. Do an update, even if it's the most recent version try to flash it again. There has to be something you can do because I...

How did you even oc your i5 to begin with? I have a buddy who picked up a haswell i5 non k and he's trying to figure that out.

Chugalug, I actually have my cpu at what I belive to be pretty stable. I had a friend tell me to stay away from prime 95 with skylake. I used it religiously with my 2600k And had it stable at 4.6. I ran it most the time at 4.4 tho. Anyway I have my 6700k @ 4.6 with 1.344 vcore with an offset of...

I don't think your psu is powerful enough to think about oc btw

Ya I've had that happen to me. Not from an oc, actually on a very old oem lenovo. Unplug everything and I mean everything let it sit a good 20 minutes then only plug in the 24 pin mobo cable, the 8 pin cpu cable and have 1 ram stick in the slot closest to the cpu. Fire it up and you should be...

Make sure your boot drive is plugged into your drive 0 port on your mobo, psu could be an issue as well. If it's buzzing, my philosophy is if you're going to dump hundreds of dollars into a new build then primary components like your psu, which many mistake as "not important" is indeed very...

Increase the vcore man. I had that issue with my last build. It was a Sandy Bridge i7 with Giga mobo. Everytime I'd wake it from sleep it did that too. It's not getting enough voltage initially, at least that was my experience. Make sure since you are running only 3 sticks of ram that the three...

Yup that's Gigabyte for you

I personally have 7 corsair ml pro fans. 3 blue led 2 white led and 2 non led. They have interchangable corners and they are magnetic levitation. Very quiet and very powerful. I swear by them. I spent 25$ a piece on them, that's saying something.
