Hey everyone!
Earlier this year, I built my new PC using an Intel Core i5 2500K CPU and the Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD4 motherboard. The system works very well and runs every game I throw at it. However, along with the CPU, I also bought the Corsair H100 as I wanted to push the CPU to its limits. I currently have the CPU at 4.4Ghz and it is running fine, but whenever I try and go any higher, no matter how much more voltage I give it, the system will boot loop every now and then when I turn it on. This is an issue for me, as I was hoping to push my CPU alot furtherer. Anyone else with this board experiencing the same issue? I updated to the latest BIOS revision but am no closer to solving this problem.
The rest of my System specs are as follows.
8GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600 memory
Corsair HX650W
Radeon HD6870 Crossfire (Problem occurs with 1 card installed also)
60GB OCZ Agility 3
My CPU also seems to require an abnormally large amount of volts to remain stable at 4.5/4.6 in Windows. Like 1.45v. This just doesn't seem right to me. Any clues?
Thanks
Nathan.
