Odd Occurrence happening on my motherboard

Hardware Hub Motherboards
1

Hello guys and gals,

For whatever reason when I restart my computer I will randomly get an error message saying the overclocking attempt has failed and that changes were reverted. The odd thing is that I have not overclocked anything in my computer ever. The only thing I did was change the RAM to 1866 (which is what my RAM is rated for) from the default 1333. This only happens once every 50 restarts maybe but it is annoying to have to go into the BIOS to make sure nothing got screwed over. Any ideas on what causes this and should I be concerned? My temperatures and everything are all very very good right now and have been for quite awhile. Here are my specs:

  • AMD FX-6300
  • Asus GTX 960 Strix
  • Kingston HyperX Fury RAM 8GB 1866 DDR3
  • EVGA 500W PSU
  • Cooler Master Hyper tx3 CPU Cooler
  • Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD

Did you set the cl and voltage to the rated value? My mobo reduces my cl to 7 and voltage to 1.65 when it defaults. I have to manually set it to 8 and 2.0 when I run it at 2000 Mhz.

Check to see if you have XMP enabled or not. I was having pretty much the same troubles with my ram on my MSI board (ram not running at rated speed) and turning XMP on took care of it.
