OC Failed - No Monitor Signal
OC Failed - No Monitor Signal
This is my first experience with OC (1.3V manual, 103BCLK). My PC shuts down, fails to boot, and doesn’t show any monitor signal. When I press the power button to turn it off, then switch it back on cold, I get a "OC failed" message. After restarting, regardless of the settings I apply (using default values), I still don’t receive a monitor signal. If I restart and clear the settings, I can still open Windows fine. I run IBT and prime95 from Windows, but they fail at 50 degrees. It’s quite confusing.
I should mention that my first OC didn’t include the CPU_OV over voltage jumper. Now that it’s fixed, nothing has changed.
Hardware details:
- CPU: i5 6600k
- GPU: ASUS 1060 3gb dual (fan) edition
- MOBO: Asus z170-ar
- RAM: 16gb team t-force 3000mhz
- Boot drive: intel 600p 500gb m.2
- Cooling: cryorig a80
You don't have to modify the CPU_OV jumper unless you intend to work with very high voltages, which aren't suitable for continuous overclocking. With an unlocked multiplier CPU, avoid adjusting BCLK; instead, modify the multiplier or "ratio" as specified by the Asus BIOS. Disconnect your system and remove the CMOS battery to reset all configurations to their defaults. After that, attempt overclocking using only the multiplier setting. Begin at a lower voltage such as 1.2V, gradually raise the clockspeed until instability appears, then increase the voltage until stability is achieved.
