help pls g1 assassin 2 overclock is killing me!!

[Gauthimius]

hi and thanks for reading

so i am running a g1. assassin 2 mobo x72 2011 socket with a i7-3930k cpu. i havce 16g of ripjaw ddr3 1800 ram, 1000 watt cooler master psu and 2xevga 480 gtx. do to the fact that my cooling tower ...which was suppose to come with the bracket for the 2011 board...did not, i had to use some rubber washer on the back instead... i know ghetto... also for software i am running the easy tune 6 and evga precision.



too my issues..when i OC without the OC button pushed the OC will work, it shows the clock in the bios and in the easy 6 program, but the individual cpu's wont budge from factory. However when i PUSH the OC button, and try to run the OC it wont accept anything i do not even factory default ... i even tried things like clicking the oc button once i get into the easy tune program right before i let it restart for the OC ......meaning that even the preset quick oc built into the easy tune wont take.

i tried everything here...... i think
X79 SLI - Questions Overclocking an i7 3930K

but for 2 days straight i couldnt get anything to take even simple stuff......

so maybe i am just slow.....maybe i am missing something simple like turn 'this' on or turn 'that' off ....could someone help ill answer any questions you have....and if so can you pls explain what to do in turns of what it says in the bios...i.e dont say vccsa when there is nothing that says "vccsa" in the bios

soorry if that is a bit picky i just dont want any confusion between common terminology and what is actually there

thanks a ton

oh hey forgot to add .... could it be not enough juice in the psu, bad mobo, or cpu?

Have you tried manually overclocking through the BIOS? For example setting xmp for your ram,if it supports it,and raising the cpu multiplier to raise your CPU speed,setting dram voltage to what's printed on your ram,and manually setting cpu and qpi/vtt voltages,I'm not a fan of the gimmicky oc buttons or oc software,it nearly always ends in a freeze or lock up,especially on new mb's and platforms,you need atleast 6months for software and bios's to catch up and iron out all the bugs ect

thanks for the reply

so i just did what you said i changed around some of that stuff i set clock to 4.1 ( easy reach ) and what is showing is that the vcore is taking the vtt is tacking but the individual cpu still say 3.8 3.7.3.6 3.5 accept the weird first cpu which says 0......so what do you think... ( it is saying this in the easy tune 6 software) why will the turbo boost individual processors not move?

[wazza300]

i think you can set a turbo limit for each individual core? somwhere in the bios? im not 100% sure as my board wont let me adjust it,and maybe its the power saving states that restrict it when cpu is idle or low load and runs to 4.1ghz when heavy load or 100% load? to test this look in windows power saving options and choose "high performance"profile,cpu should then run at full 4.1ghz,select "balanced" profile to allow cpu to downclock when idle,plus you can go to advanced cpu features and disable eist to do the same thing

[Gauthimius]

nope i moved it to full power and turned off power save and still nothing the chips just wont move past the clock speed ....

[wazza300]

could you download cpu-z

cpuz-1.59.1-Beta.zip 32,bit

ftp://ftp.cpuid.com/cpu-z/cpu-z_1.59-64bits-en.zip 64,bit

see if it shows full cpu speed

try this version of easytune see if its newer than the one you have

http://download.gigabyte.eu/FileList..._intel-x79.exe

[Gauthimius]

hey sorry i had not got back to u sooner but even cpuz is saying that the clock is not taking and that the max turbo is 38 booooooo!! uuug i still dont get it

anything else you can think of


thanks agan

[Gauthimius]

here is this as well



also i notice if i use easy tune i can get the bios to show the turbo jump to what ever i choose in the easy tune but it still wont take ....everything is still on auto other then the settings .....what do you think?

[wazza300]

lookslike it showing the power saving,it should go to full speed when cpu is stressed,could be bug with easytune software
