  1. I don't think you understand that i have been restarting it... I can't access windows. It will go black screen pretty much 1 second after it posts Nah it's stock, just bought it and put it in.
  2. What do you mean resetting? Also I cannot access anything, pretty much straight after the post system information page upon start up, it black screens
  3. I just bought a Galax GTX 970 Hall of Fame edition and just installed it, was working fine, benchmarked it (stock) half way through it went black screen. Now everytime I start the computer up/restart, it would get to the loading windows part and would go black screen again. (same if I try to go into the bios, would open bios for 1 second then go black screen)
  4. Disabled c states and still happens lowered Ringbus to 4.1ghz and going to see how that goes...
  5. Well my 4690k reached a: Core: 4.7ghz *Fixed* Ring: 4.2ghz Vcore: 1.23 *Fixed* VRing: 1.23 Vccin: 1.900 With a 14hr XTU Stress test stable After I put Cstates onand changed to dynamic/eist and adaptive mode, Computer now crashes rarely (after 4-5hrs of use) of casual use (youtube etc). Where should I start troubleshooting?
  6. I mean like, when my GPU heats up to around 70 c I can barely touch the heatpipe as it is hot. My CPU is at 70 degrees yet the heatsink is warm
  7. It's been going on for 8 hours now yeah but like when my 970 Strix heats up the entire case heats up
  8. I just achieved a: Core: 4.7ghz Cache: 4.2ghz Vcore: 1.23v VCache: 1.23v Vccin: 1.900v DRAM Freq: 1866 Dram Voltage: 1.5v Max Temperature: 70 c Average: ~66 c Stable past 8hrs, Seeing if it will last atleast 12hrs. I plan to put it some sort of Cstate power saving settings, however through reading people have said that enabling Auto C-state causes latency issues? and enabling c6/c7 (Not sure what they mean tbh) is the best?
  9. I placed a Dark Rock Pro 3 Heatsink on my 4690k When stressing it has a max of 70c and an average of ~66c however the actual Heatsink only feels slightly warmer than ambient room temperature? Would this be a problem with my thermal paste application or is simply the design of such a large heat sink the reason? Thanks in advance!
  10. I'm using a MSI z97 Krait edition windows 8.1 yeah not planning to do a fresh install, well it's not a big deal i guess, don't think i'll need to use XTU after I finish my OC hahaha
  11. Also since I updated bios, Intel XTU has only been showing "Processor Frequency 0.00ghz" and "Active Core Count 1" so using cpu-z to validate anyone know a fix?
  12. Hahaha I might try to get there later on but really liking my max of 70C on air hahaha
  13. Yeah Read through the entire thing, and following it through like a bible, except he talks about ALOT higher voltages being normal so was kind of worried
  14. Currently Validating my cache frequency 3hrs in on Intel XTU: Chip: 4690k Core: 4.7ghz Vcore: 1.23v Vrin: 1.900 Cache: 4.4ghz Cache Voltage: 1.23v Dram Freq: 1866mhz VDram: 1.5v (Specified by manufacturer) What has passed an 14hr XTU Stress test: Core: 4.7ghz Vcore: 1.23 Vrin: 1.900 Cache: 3.9 Cache Voltage: [Auto] Dram Freq: 1866mhz Vdram: [Auto] (Was going around 1.65) Average Temps: 66 C *on a Dark Rock Pro 3 with only center fan installed* First time overclocking and there from what I can see most people have voltages around 1.3~ to keep stable at 4.7ghz So wondering If I'm doing anything wrong?
