Cannot adjust Base Clock. Over clocking the MSI X99S SLI PLUS. i7 5930K cpu.

[tsmith154]

I7 5930K cpu, 3 Radeon R9 290X 3 monitors 5760X1080 res. 120 Hz.

What I came across:

I changed my core clock from 100 to 101, 102, 167 and all worked with no problem. I used CPU-Z and it confirmed my settings took. I tried new settings and then started to crash, no booting. Until I changed my core clock to 100. Then no problems.I addjusted the core anything above 100clock and no boot. I tried to remember my original settings (I did not save them). I even tried 100.04. With no boot

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I would have never thought of this. But, from overclocking and getting great advice from others on this forum I ended up getting a more powerful power supply. I went from an Antec 1200 watt power supply to the Corsair AX1500i and guess what. First try, I changed my base clock to 125 and yep it works.

Larger and better power supply.
