Ive had the 970 Extreme3 w/ bios 1.60 OCing an FX 8320 @ 4.0GHz and 2600 NB frequencies for months now with no issues, some other tweaking as well but here is the issue.
I recently ordered G.Skill Sniper series 1866 (2x4GB)ram to replace my 1600 set of G.Skill and an SSD so I decided I needed to update my BIOS from 1.60 to 1.80 last night as it says it supports more memory models.
If I leave the bios setting to default it fires up no problems, I can even turn off cool and quiet, change ram from 1333 to 1600. BUT as soon as I turn off any of the power saving settings or just change the Multiplier from auto to manual and try and reboot it will not post at all.
It has to be the 1.80 bios since this started it all as far as I can tell. Is there maybe something I'm missing that could be causing this due to the updated bios that will allow me to OC again?
Specs:
ASRock 970 Extreme3 BIOS 1.80
AMD FX 8320
G.Skill DDR3 1600 (2x2GB - 9-9-9-24-2T) 1.5v
XFX DoubleD 7950
Any help is appeciated as I have had this CPU @ 4.7 but never could get it quite stable so dropped it back.
