Post Your Overclock!

Gigabyte aren't the only ones that did it; Asus, MSI, etc all did the same thing. Likely reason being it was a quick and easy (some might say dirty) way to get rid of extra stock of the older chipsets.

Not only old chipsets. I bought an ASRock 990FX Fata1ity Pro board last Novemeber from Newegg, exchanged it for another, and have RMA-ed it 3 times now to ASRock. Og course it is my hardware at fault according to "John" from ASRock. Odd the same symptoms on all 4 different boards.
It may be AMD's new 990FX chip set but they aren't saying anything and ASRock won't honor its warranty since "it's my hardware" and they check each board for defects before it is returned. I keep getting someone else's bad board.
Four boards in total.

ello paula
thanks for checking on that. ive got to phone em first to arrange things further. in the note i sent them i just played on the fact that ebuyer/gigabyte deliberately sold it under false pretences and that the only outcome id be happy with is the board being replaced with one that is fully supported by the bd cpu's. we will see what happens enit. i rma'd a faulty set of roccat kaves a while ago n it took em over a wk for the refund.
only time will tell aye.

no battlefield for toooo long
thanks for ur help all

If you get a turn around in a week, consider your self extremely fortunate. It is normally 3-5 weeks at least. And don't expect a refund.

Also, if the board was purchased less than 30 days ago, you can do it through ebuyer probably and have a much easier and faster time.

nah im not expecting anythin quick. i know how long this sh** can take. ive known peeps wait months for a psu from corsair. unluckily i bought the board 10 months ago so i dont know how they plan on sorting it untill i speak to them on the phone.

This youtube video says if you are using gigabyte you need Bios f6f

Arhh didnt realise you had it 10 months, I am guessing it will be a tricky process.

Here is an overclock I did earlier, I think coretemp was having a bit of a mad moment as there is no way the CPU was using 480 Watts

Temps are a bit high, but at 5.1ghz on air under IBT they are not bad.

 

[tw33k]

That's a great result Paul

 

[paulpicks21]

Thanks tw33k, seeing as I have a K series chip it would be rude not to overclock it once in a while

Back down to a nice cool 4.6ghz now.

 

[essenbe]

well done, paul. Nice temps for that OC too.

 

[Dave76]

Nice 5.1GHz run Paul, good temps.

And yes, not OC'ing that chip is a crime

 

[paulpicks21]

Thanks Steve and Dave

This is my Core Temp gadget, beat this!



OK...after a reboot



Nevermind...

Here's my system monitor gadget that works with core temp.

I don't need any gadgets Was just showing my "6.798GHz overclock"

Pretty nice cooler you must have.

I can not get that gadget to work for crap!! I downloaded that Dev's. whole lot and everything else works great but that one.
I try to install, it goes through the process but doesn't show up on desktop or in the gadget gallery!
