No connection to internet after an Overclock.

[chawndi]

Hi, I have recently overclocked my 9700K to 4.7GHz and have been super stable, and today I wanted to push it a little bit more for a bit extra juice out of it, and went to 4.9GHz, on the 4.7 OC I went with auto voltage and has worked well since, and when trying to do it on 4.9GHz, when re booting it appeared I had no connection to the internet somehow.

 

I reset the CMOS as that was a common fix with this after overclocking but it just didn't seem to work still.

 

Specs: Intel i7 9700K, 16GB Corsair LPX DDR4 Ram, MSI GTX 980Ti, ASRock Z390 Steel Legend

 

If any quick helpers could help with this would be amazing!

Have you tried downloading the drivers onto a USB drive and installing them again?

Losing your Internet connection is not a common fault when overclocking. I have seen browser instability before when overclocking RAM but I can't say how related these events are in your case especially since removing the overclock didn't fix it.

 

Does the system see your Network cable as connected? If you go into the Command Prompt and run ipconfig does it see your NIC and/or say you have an IP & Default Gateway?

Have not yet, will look into doing it if I can dig around and find a USB.

I'll try that now.

Tried it and doesn't show.

Any IP/Default Gateway or it doesn't show your NIC period?

This statement that “resetting CMOS is a common fix” implies that “no internet” is a common problem with over clocking?

 

i don’t see how messing about in bios would have anything to do with internet connectivity.  That may mean I just don’t see it though

 

My first suspicion is the two have nothing whatsoever to do with each other.

What sort of internet connection does this machine normally use? Wired or wireless?

Common problems with overclocking your CPU is Freezes, BSOD's, & Crashes/Restarts.

Common problems with overclocking your GPU are Black screens, Game crashes, Artifacting, Screen tearing, etc.

Common problems with overclocking your RAM are general system instability, Application crashes/errors, BSOD, etc.

 

Closest thing to losing Internet while overclocking is Specifically Google Chrome crashing due to RAM overclocking causing system instability. Losing internet connectivity and resetting CMOS not fixing it would be entirely new to me if it were in any way related to the OC.

 

I think it may be coincidental that the two events occurred at the same time but I think they're unrelated.

 

Edit: Sorry, thought you were OP. pfp is the same color.

auto voltage

this is the problem I'd look into even if the browser behaved normally

Those all seem to fall under “general instability” more or less.  Resetting the CMOS should kill any overclock anyway. 

 I guess what I should have said is I’ve never heard of “no internet” and only no internet being a sign of an unstable overclock.  I haven’t overclocked a machine in a while though.

Would that even still be set after the CMOS reset though?

I'm going to refer you to my Edit. I mistook you for OP asking a question.

Not gonna lie that stood out to me too.

Auto is the BIOS default.

It wont help with sustained damage, but temporary damage should recover after clear CMOS. I can't determine the cause tho because voltage tends to kill stuff, and OP doesnt have a strong sense in voltage control.

Heh.  Fair enough.  There was a lack of authority there.  I’m familiar with older hardware, but I’m several generations behind on bios and a full one on windows.  I know how things used to work and how they generally work.  Settings systems give me pause though.

The oldest generation of hardware I have in-depth experience with is Socket AM3. I've played with older (AM2/AM2+) but not seriously used like a day to day machine.

 

Motherboards back in that era had their Core/VCore voltage set to AUTO by default. Perhaps even older generations had specific set values but I've always known AUTO as the default.

 

Even now though when overclocking leaving it in AUTO's hands to pick the voltage isn't great. It either doesn't give it enough or gives it more than it needs for the clock. Manual adjustment is really the only way to go.

S’always been that way, more or less.  Back into the windows 95 era.  never know what will pop up though.  My knowledge stops near where yours starts.  Hence questions.
