Specs:
i7 2600K @ 4.8GHz
EVGA GTX 570
ASUS Maximus IV Extreme P67 (BIOS 3208)
16GB Mushkin Enhanced Redline @ 1600MHz (stock timings)
2x OCZ Vertex 4 128GB (one for OS, one for games)
WD Caviar Black 1TB 7200RPM (mass storage)
Corsair AX1200
Corsair H100
Corsair 800D
Okay so I cleared the CMOS with the CMOS button on the back and it reset everything back to default.
I put back my RAM timings, and voltage along with setting it back to 1600MHz.
Fixed the SATA config and boot options, and that's all I did.... everything else is still default.
I booted up, loaded CPUID to find out my CPU is running at 1.48v STOCK!?!?!? Speedstep is enabled, but it still stays at 3800GHz and will not drop down.
What in the world is causing this now? The CPU voltage is Auto, so why is it at 1.48v? I didn't even have it that high with my overclock.
Before I booted up the first time after resetting CMOS, the voltage was running at 1.14-1.16ish under voltage monitor so I don't know what went wrong.
This is my first PC build. I had to reset CMOS because i've been having a problem where I would boot my PC, it would then shut down about 6-7 secs into the boot, restart itself then freeze at Windows logo screen ("Loading Windows" screen). I'd then have to hold the reset button until it shut back down again, i'd press the power button to boot back up and it would be fine.
Of course, with my luck resetting the CMOS caused yet another problem for me.
