Issue with Cpu

[rabbitrider1]

I am currently having an issue with my cpu where my PC will shut off and it will hang when it tries to boot. After a couple minutes it will be able to turn on and the error i get is saying that overclocking has failed, but i do not have any overclock at the moment. I had this issue a couple weeks ago and all I had to do to it was changing the voltage to my RAM, which was 1.5 and I had to switch it to 1.65. I have tried the clear cmos and changing the voltage to the RAM again. Im just looking to see if there is something else I need to change.

 

I currently have 4790k, Asus Maximus VII Hero, and 2400 mhz G.skill RAM.

ur just having a boot failure probably caused by not having a overclock but running 2400mhz ram,  to run 2400mhz ram u need to oc ur cpu (4.2ghz min)... u can run up to 2133mhz with stock cpu

Load defaults in your BIOS ("Load Optimized Defaults" or however Asus words it). Assuming it boots at that point, then try turning on XMP.

 

Leave the DRAM voltage at 1.5 V, I'm not sure if 1.65 V is entirely safe for the Haswell memory controller.

lmao 1.65 not safe for haswell?  haswell can run up to 2.3v safe ( where the ram itself wouldnt be safe anymore after 2.1v lol )

 

haswell is the strongest mem controller so far ever released and can take the highest voltage for a ddr3 controller

As I said, "I'm not sure if…"

 

I've heard of some having IMCs burn out with memory voltages much higher than the specification. But if I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

that was with sandybridge, 1.5 recommended 1.65 max peak

 

they had shitty mem controllers

 

ivy is up to 1.8v safe on 24/7 run... benchmark prolly 1.85/1.9

 

haswell 2.1v 24/7 and short period 2.3v ( dont do that to ur ddr3 dimms coz the ram dimms itself are only safe up to 2.1v... unless u gonna go active cooling on it , + high profile ofc )

 

already ran my corsair vengeance pro @ 2.1v btw   clocks pretty good lol  , am too chicken to run it 24/7 tho coz i got golden chip for secondary timings i can run 32,5k refreshrate out of the stock 8k  most sticks can only do 2 to max 3x their stock, if it werent golden chip i would run 2.1v 24/7...  ( i am careful with golden chips )

Any chance you're using windows 10? A friend of mine has had similar issues...

 

Do you have an XMP profile on your ram, and do you choose it or just up the voltage?

Some PC we got at work had some issues with CPU usage to and they all had 10 but my laptop and desktop with FX-8370 seems all fine!
