    Help: OC Asus p8Z77-Pro With i7 Core 2600K

    I figured out my issue where I input any voltage in bios and it won't take affect when test in Windows. It was my bios. I reset the cmos and now it's working as it should be.

    I am a bit confuse now. Looking at the last screenshot cpu core voltage of 1.280. Is this suppose to be the same voltage I input in bios under cpu voltage?

    I followed the guide and input what it said. I have no way of knowing the cpu temps since I cannot boot into Windows from a cold start. I do have a cooling system. It's a Corsair H60.
