Please feel free to add this code to your signature and help spread the knowledge/existence of the club. Many thanks to SortOfGrim for sorting out the signature.

In order to be added to the overclocking list, the following information must be clearly stated in your post:

1. The CPU model used.
2. The overclocked speed.
3. The CPU voltage used to ensure the overclock is stable.
4. The type (e.g. air/liquid/LN2) cooling used.
5. The model of the CPU block/heatsink used.
6. Screenshots of the bechmarking tests.

The following benchmarking tests must be used in order to ensure the overclock is stable:

1. Prime 95 - small FFT test - 6 hours min.
2. Prime 95 - large FFT test - 6 hours min.
3. Prime 95 - blend test - 6 hours min.
4. Intel Burn Test (IBT) - 10 cycles min.

Without verification tests and screenshots, your overclocking achievement cannot be added to the list. If you require help to run the tests, please feel free to post in this thread where one of our many members will be happy to help.

CPU Heatsink Issues

1. BeQuiet! Dark Rock 2
   Symptom: boot up error states that PWM fan has very low RPM.
   Reason: the Dark Rock 2 is a large tower heatsink that has a very low RMP when the CPU is idle.
   Fix: enter the Asus UEFI Bios and change the lowest recorded RPM to 300 RPM for the heatsink fan.

ROG GameFirst II Issues

1. Symptom: lower than expected download and upload speeds
   Reason: the ROG GameFirst II software is supposed to optimize download and upload speeds. Sometimes a piece of software does not perform as intended.
   Fix: uninstall the ROG GameFirst II software.
