assus board problem.. f2a85-m

Once in few days(3-5), pc crash no BSOD no memory dump, I think I finally understand why, just want to make sure.

I am not an overclock-er type(Dont like to play with voltage setting, etc.. by myself).

But since I have a turbo mode cpu(a10-5800K), I do want to take the maximum of it. (4300GHZ).

In this mobo uefi there are few options to boost gpu: auto\turbo\extreme\maual.
I set it to turbo(at the beginning), thinking that the rest is auto done..

But now I understand that in order to make it really auto overclock, the the switch GPU "turbo boost" on the mobo(physically), must be turned on?
and if the switch is turned off(like I used to have), the turbo\extreme options in the uefi can cause a big mess!

If I am right(and that is part of my question) why when the GPU "turbo boost" switch is turned off the turbo\extreme options are even available in the bios? As I see it the only 2 options should be there, are: auto/manual.
At least one can expect a clear explantion for this GPU "turbo boost" switch role from Asus, in my opinion Asus failed here..

I am not 100% sure that this was the reason for my pc halt( I need more time for testing), 7 days for now, no halt.

so am I right, and this was the problem?

Yes, you're right. On page 1-33 of the User Manual it states: "GPU Boost Switch; This switch allows you to enable or disable the GPU Boost function".

(hope you are right).

"GPU Boost Switch; This switch allows you to enable or disable the GPU Boost function".

few more words, and I would get it..

then again. why when the switch is turned off the turbo\extreme mode are available? it does some type off "half job" overclocking witch turns the system unstable, Pretty stupid I guess. (or it is just me?) :biggrin:

Anyway thank you for your time.
