Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - my computer won't start up after overclocking

Odd that it seems that the Asus utility could have been used for a simple overclock....I wonder on the age of the Motherboard and why there would have been so much fuss involved in the start up after the O.C. I would have chosen the AI Suite for the overclock instead of the BIOS for the simple reason that once you use the feature well it shows up in the BIOS anyway just like it would if you had gone that route from the beinning anyway. I have had my system tell me that the overclock has failed when I first got the system which might have been cause by inferior cooling methods because ever since I have increased the amount of fans that I have Overclocking has been a breeze. I've had my system up to just over 4 Ghz for a couple of days and the stress testing has come back positive as well. The memory matches the O.C. Profile as well and that has been up over 1100Mhz as well. I'm not a huge advocate of Overclocking simply because the benefit might outweigh the cost depending on what you are looking at doing it for and only if you have sufficient methods to ensure thermal stability.
