OC Failed Pre-Boot

[mao91]

I have my 5820k OC'd to 4.3GHz on an Asus X99-A. OC'd it a couple weeks ago. Haven't had any issues whatsoever. Last night I put a second SSD in my system and put them into a RAID 0 array. Now, every few times it boots, I get a message on the POST screen which reads "Overclock Failed." Is this common? I'll dial it back if I have to, no big, just curious.

PSU?

PSU: Corsair RM750
RAM: 16GB (4x4GB) Kingston Hyper X FURY DDR4-2400

SSDs: Samsung 850EVO 250GB (x2)
GPU (probably not important to this but I'll provide it anyway): EVGA Geforce GTX 970 SC

 

Later today I'll check the power connections going to the CPU and motherboard. Maybe something got jarred around.

would just try dialing it back a bit and see if you can get it stable

Try to remove the raid array or add extra voltage for stability

Nope, your system has always been unstable and the addition of a new part has shown that it's unstable. Reset to stock so you can get your raid array working as it should then overclock and test the stability with stress tests.

This seemed to do the trick. Odd.

That's what I was thinking too. I'll reset and re-OC later. Even if it dials back to 4.2, I'd rather have a 4.2 stable OC than a 4.3 OC that breaks my CPU.
