Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Just got a haswell 4690 with asus z97 a board kingston 16g 1600 ram. Where is a good guide on OCing ? Not familar with asus bios or these news cpu/boards
Might as well stay away from the Sin guides cuz..dat's Giga
DJ should write one..He knows all the ins and outs of Hashwell.
Here's what I'd do since you're probably on air/water.
1) Set your RAMS right..proper voltage,proper timings..test all that..Don't be afraid to see how high your RAM goes
If nothing else,slop it up and see how high it goes and then work from there
2) Set input (VCCIO) on Asus I think V to 1.92
3) Set Cache/Ring voltage to 1.31
4) Set all IOA/ANALOG/Digital stuff to 1.16-1.26-ish..then move the digital down a click
start playing with your multi..keeping ring the same..
when it starts messing up..try lowering the Ring 1st It can go to 3 notches lower than core.
Thanks for the reply Can I just use the Asus software to overclock? What is a safe voltage to keep the CPU @ 24/7? Im running an corsair h100i for cooling. I ran the 5 way opt from asus software & it went up to 4.7 before it crashed. Then it went to 4.5 and pressed ok but in windows it doesnt show its 4.5.
