It begins..

Okay. So everything turns on and stuff. Well sometimes games just crash and sometimes the desktop locks up and freezes. Voltage is at 1.17v. Any suggestions?

OneMoar · Dec 13, 2014

go though the bios and write down all the voltages and settings

Toothless · Dec 13, 2014

Will clear pictures work?

Yea

Toothless · Dec 13, 2014

So my phone is being dumb, and I'm going to send the pictures to a friend for them to upload here.

That is all I got from him so far... there was supposed to be more but he is having issues sending them.

First release BIOS (F3) dated as April 25th. Devil's Canyon released June 2nd. Gigabyte states BIOS version F5 was first to support 4790K. Update BIOS then select "Load Optimized Defaults" or similar option.

bobodori · Dec 13, 2014

Nice build.Just a suggestion for the freezes and crashes,run memtest,the bootable version.

OneMoar · Dec 13, 2014

Give the Ring/LCC voltage a slight bump see if that stabilizes it try like +0.050v
Really need to see the voltages tab

@Lightbulbie , IMHO, when you first setup a system, run everything at stock until you are sure that everything is stable. Then you can mess with it. Temps in the 70's on a stock cooled i5 is not a problem.

that is stock
4790k comes out of the box a t 4Ghz/4.5/4.3
@Lightbulbie
I suspect it may not be getting enough voltage under turbo
bump it to 1.190

How can you call messing with the voltage "stock?"

OneMoar · Dec 13, 2014

because for some reason the board was setting the vcore to 1.45V
I had him drop it to 1.170 because thats the stock Voltage for some 4790's
tho his chip may need more

He needs to update that BIOS and then see what happens.

brandonwh64 · Dec 13, 2014

@Lightbulbie and @Shugotenshii

If you stick a thumb drive in the I/O USB port and press F12 while in the bios, it will take a screenshot.

Do I put Windows on my 500GB or my 1TB? I'm thinking my 500GB so my games and docs get loaded onto the 1TB,

OneMoar said:
whatever drive is fastest

I would do otherwise... But I believe the actual difference is minimal, even if you consider a 2:1 ratio.

I already tould him todo that

Toothless · Dec 13, 2014

Okay. I'm going to sound dumb. I've flashed bios' before but I forgot how to. I remember new bios on USB drive. That's about it.

Never mind. I got it.

Toothless · Dec 13, 2014

Okay so now the voltage goes from 0.722v to 1.249v. BIOS is F5 and ima see if it'll lock up again.

better still bit excessive ... way to much for the stock cooler to handle in either case

Toothless · Dec 13, 2014

Now the lock ups are worse. It's like a BSOD but without the blue screen.

Toothless · Dec 13, 2014

@OneMoar is a knight in shining PCB armor, just saying.

So I gotta find me a Hyper 212 cooler to run my 4790k normally. Time for saving pennies.

A 4790k should be able to run without crashing using the stock cooler. There could be something else wrong.

I'd suggest to disable fan speed control as well. My fan went from 900-1200rpm to 2400+rpm.

Now my processor keeps at 42-45°C, and my ambient temperature is quite uncomfortable on summer 28°C+.
