Are the boot issues connected to CMOS?
Are the boot issues connected to CMOS?
Hi all, I'm trying to confirm if this is the right place for my query about overclocking. It's about adjusting settings, and everything seems stable after saving. I plan to power off the machine overnight and restart it the next day. The issue is that the CPU core voltage keeps increasing slightly, and I'm wondering if the CMOS battery might be involved. Have others had similar experiences?
System details:
CPU: x5650 OC 4.3ghz (AIO cooler)
Motherboard: Asus P6t (variant not specified)
RAM: 12gb Kingston 1600mhz
GPU: gigabyte G1 980ti
Power Supply: Corsair cx850m (about two days old)
Storage: One boot SSD and three 3.5 inch drives
Initial core voltage: 1.3v → now 1.33v (required for boot); DRAM voltage at 1595MHz, incorrect reading around 3300MHz; base clock set to 199, multiplier 22.
Settings: Base clock 199, multiplier 22, speedstep disabled.
Please share any insights or advice you might have.
Cheers
Joe
I've experienced a comparable problem where I needed to remove and replace the rams to get the system to POST. Eventually, I changed the CMOS battery and also updated the BIOS, which helped. It still has occasional hiccups, but swapping the CMOS battery is a solid starting point.
