I set the core ratio to 40 and the bclk freq to 102 so it matched the other machine. PC crashed on RealBench, I set the freq back to 100 and left the core ratio on 40 and it passed a 15 minute stress test. How long do you guys recommend the stress test should run for? Haven't seen...

So many settings in the bios, mind telling me exactly what to move? I dont really want to screw something up. Is it the cpu core ratio? Also, why is one computer stuck at 4ghz while the other one is "variable"? Meaning that it only goes to 3.5ghz under load. what? :confused: Thanks...

Both are asus boards. One is the x99-a and the other one the x99 deluxe. Sorry I didnt make that clear.

As the title says, I built two really similar 5930k based systems at work. Main differences is one has an asus x99-a and the other an asus x99-deluxe. Memory is a bit different though with one being a little faster. However, while I loaded both systems with optimized defaults (have never...

Just built a new PC and I've noticed that sometimes I will turn on the PC from cold boot and the boot time will be so fast that I won't even see the "login screen" and the desktop will just pop up. Other times it seems to take a long time on the login screen alone. I don't have pending...

Yeah, I don't see any other issues but I spent a lot of money on this system and i'm not going to let something like this pass. Sadly this is my first experience with MSI so I'm not sure how the RMA is going to go. thanks for your reply

Thanks for your reply but as I mentioned, its the BIOS readings which display the wrong temp... windows utilities appear to be working correctly, except for msi command center which I imagine gets its reading from the same place the bios does.

Hello, Just built a new system with an msi x99a raider mobo with a 5930k. It's working fine however the Bios reports the cpu temp as ZERO degrees. HWMonitor appears to be working fine, but MSI command center also displays a wrong reading. Here's a pic...

Hello, I have a small htpc that I like to "put to sleep" when I'm not using to save energy since that's most of the time. I had an intel 1156 motherboard and decided to swap it so I could have a newer socket and I also found it on sale... The new motherboard is this one...

A client once asked me to build him a PC that could run 5 monitors with a single video card, the galaxy 560 ti x5 was the only solution I could find and it worked GREAT. So I wouldn't mind owning a 560 ti x5, let alone a 680. So thanks for going the extra mile with extra features. :)

Quick update... I think I found the culprit. I went to my add/remove programs sections and noticed something I installed near the date the crashes started....and it was a bunch of codecs.... I didn't install them intentionally, I installed the Geovision Multiview software that is CCTV...

Sigh... oh well, guess its time to disable/remove stuff one by one till I find the culprit. Thanks for the replies guys :)

lol... i have installed it on around 5 PCs and none have shown an issue other than mine... grr

Don't think there's a hardware issue... Same system that has been rock solid for the past 3 or so years... Not sure about corrupt files. No, I read about that... The only "foreign" thing that I have installed that might be causing issues is the startisback start menu, though I haven't...
