What started out as me not knowing enough to use the + and - keys and then hit the ENTER key, before hitting F10 to save my BLCK settings, has now turned into a nightmare.
http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?41924-BLCK-keeps-going-back-to-80-instead-of-100.5/page1 The above thread is where this all started. I was able with the help of new friends to attain a nice over clock
of my 4770K cpu with a H100i cooler from stock 3.5 to 4.5 and while it passed the prime 95 tests and did just
great, when I stared to OC my evga 680 card, I kept getting direct X shutdowns of Battlefield 4 game, but not
the whole computer. In the process of getting to the 4.5, I did use BF4 to test the stability, and it would sometimes
freeze up the entire computer.
No matter what settings I put into the bios for Core Ratio (44) or the Blck (100.5) and core voltage to 1.33
the bios now NEVER saves anything and puts the cpu back to 3521.28 Mhz and 100.61 x 35.0
My old bios was 1102 dated 11-20-13 and I TODAY just updated my bios a few minutes ago to 1203 dated
12-13-2013 and it said the new bios would bring more stability to my system, so I did it, thinking it would
fix my problem of the bios not saving all of my settings. Thing is, it is saving some of the settings like
my fans are set up to ADVANCED MODE and I have the NUM LOCK light set to OFF. All of those settings are
doing just fine, but now, I can try to level up to 44 or do a myriad of things, and it just keeps going back
to stock settings. ( Im hitting the F10 to save, so dont think its that ). I have hit F5 and saved and nothing
but nothing seems to do anything anymore.
My new rig is only about 5 weeks old or so, so the cmos battery should be fine and I can play BF4 no problem
now at the stock 3.5 settings and my Temps have always been really good, except for the one time I was
running prime 95 and BF4 at the same time.
I hope my CPU is not causing this, but I just dont know, so Im hoping some of you can help me.
Thank you very much for your help, I appreciate it very much.
Mike
