I am quite new to overclocking and I am having a lot of problems with OC my i5.
Specs Gigabyte Z68 - UD3
i5 2500k
6950
Askaa venom cooling.
750W PSU
Before I tried to overclock my machine I read up extensively on it to make sure that I done nothing wrong. I am still having absolutely no luck with getting it correct. The problems are that their are so many guides online and each keep telling me different things.
I was trying to achieve a 4.4GHz OC with voltages at 1.37/ auto. More or less everything else was set to auto except for
Thermal cooling disabled C1/D or something cant remember name set to disabled.
I finally thought I had got my overclock to work today with the above settings.
I was running prime95 and had to go out so I left my computer with the stress test running. I was never going above 62c so I thought nothing would happen. I left the house and when I came back a few hours later I could not turn the computer on! It kept powering up then just dying after 2 seconds. I then replaced the mobo battery, problem solved.
I really need some help OC. I am now afraid to even go near the BIOS because I got a real scare when my PC did not power on I thought I had fried CPU.
Can someone try and explain what I am doing wrong please
Thanks
