Core i5


Recommended Posts

I recently built a core i5 system. I have a MSI p55-GD65 MB with the OC Genie Function. I did that, and had the system over clocked to 3.36. Then, i added a 9800gtx graphics card to the mix, and now the system shuts down without ever booting. When OC Genie is disabled, the system boots fine. But now it is running at half of what it should stock, around 1.6. Any ideas?

You won't like my advice. That would be to stop overclocking. You don't need to overclock a modern processor like that. There is no real upside and some downside. OC is fine for people who want to run new software on old processors. Give it up would be my suggestion.

Yah i have for now. And i figured out that it is running at half power only sometimes when not under a lot of stress from processes. The multiplier goes down to nine and can go as high as 21, which is a little over the base 20, so its fine for now. Thanks for your reply.
