Just build a new rig last night:
i5 750
Gigabyte p55a-ud3
4 gb ddr3
Seagate 750gb hd
ModxStream 600w psu
Win 7 pro
Originally had the F2 bios installed. It detected everything fine. Trying to find how much I can oc the thing on stock volts I ended up at 3.3 + turbo (1.15 volts). For some reason, when I started messing with the voltages, Windows would hang and not want to start. The times I did get windows to start, my USB ports wouldn't work, although windows wasn't frozen or anything. Got it to boot at 3.8 ghz but my USB ports wouldn't work LOL. After that, got a lot of BSOD with some IRQ not less than or equal to message. Ended up installing @bios since I don't have a flash drive or floppy to flash in the bios and flashed it to the f5 bios. For some reason, that didn't work and it still read as the f2 bios with my temp of the cpu reading at -110 degrees LOL. Ended up booting back into windows and going back to the gigabyte website to find out that they took off the f5 bios and now have a beta f5c bios. I ended up flashing the f5c bios and now it seems to work fine. The bios and all windows apps read the correct bios so I think it went well this time, besides a couple of things:
1. When I initially booted, my multiplier was set at 15x even though it should be 20x. Anything to be worried about? I know it's an easy change
2. My temps seem to be 5-10 degrees Celsius lower than before. I used to idle at 28, now I am down to 22/23. My MAX temp in prime was 60, now down to 53. Again, anything to be worried about? I don't know which to believe.
3. The stock vcore of my processor is now 1.056, down from 1.15. Why the change? The stock vcore of the i5 is 1.15 right? What is up with the new bios changing it?
The good news about the flash is Windows has not crashed yet, and I was able to boost my stock volt oc to 3.5, prime stable so far! I really appreciate any help or input!
