Overclocking fail on 3930k Rampage Extreme IV

[Franzchise]

I've tried to oc using the extreme oc preset in the rampage iv bios, when I attempt to boot it does not do anything except turn on with all the fans going but nothing else, so I manually have to press the power button to get it to boot, then it says overclocking failed, so i reset it to the default settings and reboot.

I would really like to overclock it and seeing as the mobo is supposed to be very easy to do so, I figured I wouldn't have any trouble.
(I built the system 3 years ago and just have recently ordered a titan x and a new monitor and plan on upgrading my ssd storage.)

So any help on possible reason of not being able to oc with the presets available, it would be a great help.

i7 3930k @3.2ghz
Rampage iv extreme
GTX 690
16gb ripsaw ddr3 RAM
COrsair H100 cooling unit
Corsair HX 850 PSU
Windows 7 64 pro

any ideas anyone, it doesnt seem to be a issue for anyone else with the same setup so I figure I am missing something simple. Any input would be very helpful.
thanks

update: I got it to boot into windows at the higher gamer oc preset @ 4.7ghz then after downloading and running prime95 for 10m it crashed. I tried the lower gamer profile oc setting of 4.2ghz and it wouldnt boot into windows. It did for a bit then crashed.

This is very annoying.. I feel maybe I got a bum chip not capable of getting any higher.

I got it overclocked but the cpu temps are running so high, so onto the next problem. As high I mean maxed at 91c!!

I have the same board, same cpu, I was using until X99 came out. I never used the presets, did everything manual.The presets are made by Asus based on an average of tested chips and what settings & voltages were used. These presets won't be stable for every CPU. Had my 3930k @4.5ghz, but didn't go higher as I didn't want to increase voltage further. These chips run hot on a higher overclock. You also have to remember with this board the VRMS can get hot enough to throttle from high OC and voltage. What CPU vcore voltage are you set at for your overclock?

 

[Franzchise]

my vcore was set at 1.4. I noticed i was still getting very high temps on heavy load apps, in the high (80s max) in core temp but it never felt too hot and its must have run this hot for a while because until now I never monitored the temps too often.

That would be higher than I would be comfortable w/ for extended periods on heavy load, but probably ok for shorter durations. I was using 1.36V on Manual myself for vcore and 1.25V for VTT and VCCSA for my XMP profile for my RAM. I had speedstep, C-States, ect. disabled and ran at 4.5Ghz all the time I was on my PC. I ran it this way from late 2011 up until December 2014. Oddly enough, I was also using G.Skill Ram, Corsair PSU, and a GTX 690 like yourself.

I actually picked up a h100i today at best buy and its lowered my temps by about 10 degrees, Im gonna test it some more under heavier loads and see what it gets.

Tuesday Ill be adding a titan x and a acer predator 144hz so that is why I wanted to get everything running as strong as possible.

thanks

Nice Should be a nice boost w/ Titan X and the acer 144Hz Predator. What OC speed are you at now?

 

[Franzchise]

ive been running stock speeds but Im gonna overclock it tonight and see what I can get.
