Posted September 9, 2014 I recently build my system with the following specs: 1.Intel Core i7 4790k 2.NZXT Kraken x60 cooler 3.Asus Sabertooth z97 Mark 2 4.Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz 16GB RAM 5.Asus Geforce 660Ti 6.Samsung EVO SSD 250GB 7.Corsair RM850 PSU the CPU is fine in default settings idle temp is around 27 C and on load 64 C. But when I change to "Asus Optimal" settings in BIOS and try to load the CPU temp shoots up to 98 C. I don't know is it the problem of the mobo or am I doing something wrong ?

Posted September 9, 2014 Author needs more thermal paste !!! huehue I have reapplied the thermal paste many times with Artic Alumina, re seated the cooler, checked the backplate still no luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 9, 2014 I have reapplied the thermal paste many times with Artic Alumina, re seated the cooler, checked the backplate still no luck while i was joking its good that you already did that. what are the "asus optimised" setting ?. maybe its to much volt? or that the pump is failing when it gets to hot ?

Posted September 9, 2014 Author while i was joking its good that you already did that. what are the "asus optimised" setting ?. maybe its to much volt? or that the pump is failing when it gets to hot ? Realtemp shows voltage variation from 1.175 V to 1.325 V. At the peak volt cpu clock speed is at 4.6 Ghz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't understand what do you meant by canned tuning. I did try manual overclocking with only changing CPU V core Voltage to 1.275 V and CPU clock ratio to 47 on all cores resulting in 4.7 Ghz overclock with XMP profile changed to manual, i don't know what's the rest of the settings do in BIOS since I am coming from my core 2 Quad q6600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 9, 2014 if that guide helps you, like the OP post. Hi, I've been wondering about something. If I cleared CMOS while power was still connected to the board, that can cause damage correct? How would I fix this?

Posted September 9, 2014 @seiny kinda depends on method used on CLR_CMOS. yanking the battery while fully powered up could cause damage. pressing the CLR_CMOS button while fully powered really won't do much. all you are doing is reverting back to a preprogrammed UEFI state. the current surge could damage the file. so it is best practice to eliminate anything to corrupt the BIOS.

There is actually a problem I'm having, not exactly CMOS related but could you help please? I've been doing some research on the matter and haven't found any solid solution, may I pm you?
