CPU Over Voltage error! HELP R5E 5820k

[smokeintheeye]

Hello can someone help me out please. i have a rampage V extreme 3.1vr with an i7 5820k and 16gb ram corsair vengeance lpx. the PC has just been running the last 3 days as iv just finished my new build. all the bios setting are on stock safe default(not even XMP on yet). but iv just started it up and got a CPU OVER VOLT ERROR!!! on startup into windows 10. why am i getting an over volt error on safe settings? will my CPU still be ok? its not even a week old yet' if someone can tell me the safe setting to use for the i7 5820k please it will be a big help as i dont want to see that error ever again. thank you

I've considered getting a ups, but 900 watts is about the biggest one I can find advertised, and I'm unsure if that would be enough for a system with a 1200w PSU.

Hey,

Your psu can pull 1200w +/- (depending on it's efficiency) but if you need 600w in full load, the psu isn't going to pull 1200w from the wall and then give you 600w that would be catastrophic imo, for many reason;hardware/environment etc. you should do a test to know how much wattage you pull in full load/gaming. Then analyze what info you got out. But then again, get a true synwave, others that are not, do not replicate quite well the true AC wave. If you invest into a worthy apc/ups, i'd recommend getting that and one that can filter the noise and garbage current, sometimes, you don't realize it but the current from the wall is pure crap. This is hard on your psu. Weak psus will tend to die quickly compared to high quality built ones. When the current is crap, the apc/ups would switch to battery mode and give you a true high quality wave. This is the top notch! But $$

I'm afraid I have no idea how to conduct such a test. I don't own a multimeter or anything like that, if that's what's needed.

Is it pretty much a given that if I have a 1200 watt PSU, I would need a UPS that delivers at least 1200w also? If so, that probably puts it out of my price range, I don't think I'm willing to spend more than $300 for one. I think the power here is fairly clean (Pennsylvania, not far from Philadelphia).

That particular error is if I remember correctly your VR Safety being tripped.

Though if your running on stock auto voltages I've no idea why it would be tripping unless there's some excessive cpu voltage in the bios.

Hey,

What you want is a true synwave apc/ups. And you want a battery backup that is strong enough to support your pc. So if you pull 600w from the wall, you'd need at least 750w (just to be safe).

This Happened to me as well last time and also happened to other member, and we still didn't get any information about this issue, read our thread below and see my last post on that thread..

we are not lucky enough bro, this board killed one my 5960x, and make me had to sold this board and buy a new one

I wish i had the cash for one like that GoNz0- but its just cost me over £1200 to get this pc up and running. was looking at about £150 ish for one.but i read somewhere that some PSUs dont like been plugged into one. How will i fined out what one will work with the psu i have. still dont get how this will stop the cpu over volt error. dont even know why i got the error to start with. the safe setting for this bored must not be safe at all if its going to over volt the cpu on a boot up. is there not away to set the max boot volt for the cpu so i wont happen again?

@_RC_ so your telling me asus know about this error and that it has killed lots of CPUs from what iv read in other posts and there still not giving any info out about it or why it happened or how to stop it happening again. if this is true its a killer bug on the mobo and it needs to be fixed ASAP. looks like it happens on all the rampage v bios as well not just the one. so theres no point in flashing an old one back on as it still might do it again. if this mobo kills my cpu on all stock safe setting asus will be getting the bill for a new one. £368 this bored cost me and its tried to kill my cpu that not good at all.

i think asus need to recall the rampage v then and get this fixed. stock safe setting killing CPUs is just MAD.

Hey,

At the risk of repeating myself. Did you try using a fixed vcore instead of an auto value ? Use fixed vcore and uncore/cache voltages.

Probably at least a http://www.apc.com/shop/gb/en/products/APC-Smart-UPS-C-1500VA-LCD-230V/P-SMC1500I

They are server spec so you will not have an issue using one, the cheap things you find just don't cut it.

Found this in the UK http://www.powerinspired.com/vis2000b-2kva-sine-wave-ups-system-p-1785.html

For the price it would do the job. Runtime is kinda shutdown only unless you are idle on the desktop.

I go for offline as online UPS cost a lot more to run (had one before this) and I want low running costs, the APC green mode basically bypasses everything on clean electric giving 95% efficiency. Sine wave on battery and it will detect dirty signals and drop to battery if needed. Brownouts and high voltage included.

As for the voltage issue, as per usual Asus have been quiet as it is a serious problem, last thing they will admit is the boards flawed as they would have to hand out a lot of money in refunds and on top of that replace a lot of high end CPU's

@smokeintheeye
since i never get what precise make this board killed my 5960x last time in my opinion its a killer bug for me...

[smokeintheeye]

wish i knew it had this killer bug before i got the board. i would have not got it to start with. might call scan.co.uk to see if i can RMA it back to them. iv lost all trust now with this motherboard. feels like iv got a ticking bomb in my tower now ready to kill my cpu at any time. still not had anything back of asus support yet? i got this board in hope that i can stick the i7 6950x when it comes out next year. but there is no way im sticking a cpu like that in here for the mobo to kill it on its own.
