Howdy all,
New to Gigabyte here; have always been an ASUS guy but the Z97MX-Gaming 5 mobo was exactly what I wanted (er, and like 100 bucks cheaper than ASUS' Gene VII). Anyway, I am just playing around with tweaking stuff before I install anything on my new rig. Tried the "Easy Tune" in the App Center just to see how it worked. Went with the Auto Tune option and it brought my i7-4790K up to 4.6. All fine and dandy until I try to install any program, and I get a BSOD 0x00000124 error every time. I figured it was the OC, so I Easy Tuned it down to "light" 4.5 lol. Still the same BSOD. No BSOD at stock, though. Anyone have this mobo have any OC experience with it? I'm not looking for some record breaking OC, just a bit of a boost. Can ya get a stable air-cooled OC or am I better off leaving it stock? Also trying to rule out that I may have got a dud here... Should also note two other strange happenings. Upon cold boot, system hangs for about 30 sec before displaying Gigabyte BIOS logo. And, whenever I plug a USB 3.0 device in, the system becomes unresponsive for 10 sec or so. So I guess it's two questions. Think I have a bad one? And what is a realistic OC in y'alls experience?
Thanks-
Dave
