I'm just using the stock heatsink and thermal compound and the tabs are on tight.
I deleted the Gigabyte OC software but my CPU still runs up to 38xx MHz on startup. Is it normal to go above the rated 3.4ghz from factory?
Is there any Temp monitor programs that will display while playing? I'm using everest and the OSD doesn't work while I'm in game.
I ran OCCT for like 5 mins and my core temps hit 89 degrees which I'm assuming is too hot. It also said 78 degrees @ CPU.

Whoa. You are running way too hot on that CPU. You don't want to be going above 70c... Are you sure the stock cooler is on right?

Definitely sounds like overheating. And that is with the CPU throttling too, to try to keep from blowing up. Do not turn your computer on again until you have someone help you install the heatsink properly.
Plus if you want to overclock, stock heatsink is not a good idea

Get the Corsair A70 heatsink... 29.99 at NCIX, pricematch it at ME to get a good deal. It's fairly good and cheap.

Right now on idle it says:
CPU1 34 deg
CPU2 36
CPU3 37
CPU4 39
GPU Core: 1.39V
I would assume the cooler is on right. Kind of hard to fuck up I assumed. Thermal compound is already applied and the heatsink you just push in 4 corners tabs. I've setup tons of my own comps and never had an issue before. One thing I did notice was that my old Q6600 heatsink is like twice the size of this 2600K heatsink.
Oh well, looks like its time for an aftermarket cooler. What thermal compound is good? MX3,4,5?
I assume Arctic Silver ArctiClean cleaner is ok to clean?
And do I need a special cloth to clean the CPU off?

You know the default cooler comes pre-applied with thermal compound, right? Did you remove that before adding your own?

Oh i found this from another forum. Dude with same board and cpu. I'm not quite following what he's saying. Quote:
0x124 is usually a problem with the CPU->IMC transactions, rather than the cpu cores themselves freezing up (core crashes are 0x101). Can also be caused by the IMC. 0x1E's can happen from that too. This can be caused by multiple things.
He can't use LLC 75% because that is ONLY on the Asus M4E. Gigabyte doesn't have %'s.
Set the BIOS to 1.25v and turn on LLC.
If you still get 124's, then the problem is strictly the RAM. You either need proper RAM (Gskill Ripjaws PC3 12800's 1.5v are a good start), or you need to manually change the RAM settings with your non certified RAM. What to change? I don't know. You can start by raising VTT to 1.2v, changing command rate to 2T, forcing the RAM down to 1333 mhz...bumping VCCSA up to 1.0v...I honestly don't know...

Run memtest86+. If it fails, you'll have to test each stick individually to find the faulty one

OFMG I think I finally figured it out. Apparently the Gigabyte Utilities software conflicts with something and causes it to BSOD. I deleted all the gigabyte utilities and was able to game for an hour with no BSOD. Maybe try gaming for longer next time to see if BSOD.
During gaming it never went over 78 degrees. Average would be around 69-72 deg.

Try out this program that analyzes dump files: Crash Analysis Tools > WhoCrashed 3.01 http://www.resplendence.com/whocrashed to see if it's a software/driver conflict

I didn't reseat the cooler. It was on good, all the tabs were on tight.
Either way, I think I'm going to get an aftermarket cooler because the factory one is really small. Smaller than my old Q6600 factory cooler.

I can't believe I spent like 6+ hours trying to figure it out. Ugh.

Does anyone with the Z68X know how to adjust the vcore? I changed vcore to 1.30V in BIOS but it keeps reading as 1.39V in CPU-ID, OCCT and Everest.

I just installed the new processor, SSD, motherboard and GPU.
SO. FRICKING. FAST.
On the other hand... I didn't realize the RAID array would not transfer easily. Doh! Now I have to figure out how to recover the array and the data in it.

I got the Asus 560 Ti but according to afterburner my GPU is running at 99%....
Is that normal? I have it lightly OC'd.
BFBC2 and Champions Online @ 1900x1200 both do it. Even lower resolutions its running at 99%.
Any ideas? GPU temp is around 56-60 under load.
NOTE: I googled and I guess that's suppose to be a good thing. I guess at stock speeds I was bottlenecked. Whoa you learn alot fucking around with these things.

I don't see why it would not be normal, as unlike your CPU the GPU is being utilized @ 100% for the game.
