Hello. I read this forum from many years and learned a lot and now is the 1st time when I type here because I face a problem which I cant fix and couldnt find a fix for.
The problem is with the motherboard which a recently got 'P8Z68 DELUXE/GEN3' and its impossibility to OC atm by unknown to me reasons.
What I meant is that everytime when I try to boost my PC performance it fails to boot and does the so called 'cold boot' problem with the infinity cycle of boot/restart.
This happen when I enable XMP profile, when I set ASUS mode to 'performance' from the UEFI bios, when I try to set manual DRAM timings and voltage, when I enable TPU from the mobo switch, when I use TurboV and basicly this happen always when there is any OC involved.
What I get during the boot/reset cycle is red light constanly on my memory led above MemOK button and the display show error 59 code which according to the manual mean 'CPU micro-code is not found or micro-code update is failed'.
To get rid of this boot/reset process I either hold down MemOK button and if this dont help I reset the CMOS which seems to fix it always.
After the reset of CMOS I get a warning 'Overclock failed!' then I boot with F1 to UEFI and must save changes in order to load the windows.
Also when I try to OC my CPU when I set 'Ai Overclock Tuner' to 'Manual' option to set PLL Voltage or Turbo Ratio are nowhere to be found too.
For the record I notice all of those things because I wanted to make my memory to run at 1600mhz not at the default 1333mhz and after I tried everything possible I found all of those problems which are connected.
My spec are:
CPU - i7-2600K
Cooler - CM Hyper 212 Evo
Motherboard - ASUS P8Z68 DELUXE/GEN3
Memory - Corsair Vengeance 16gb (CML16GX3M2A1600C9)
Storage - Samsung 850 Pro 256gb and Western Digital Cavier Black 2TB
GPU - Sapphire R9 290 Tri-x OC
Case - CM HAF-X
PSU - Corsair AX1200i
OS - Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
Note: My CPU is not OC at the moment, I know that the max supported memory (officialy) by sandy bridge is 1333mhz but it can run with 1600mhz like a boss, motherboard is with latest bios version 3603, memory passed memtest86 test but got stuck on memtest86+ v6 at 91% hammering test and my windows is freshly reinstalled with basicly only it and drivers on my SSD/HDD at the moment.
P.S. Sorry about the wall of text but I wanted to be max. detailed on my problem thanks for reading.
