ASUS Haswell Processor Overclocking for H87 and B85
ASUS today announced that the latest UEFI BIOS for its motherboards based on Intel® H87 and B85 chipsets unlocks previously inaccessible overclocking features for 4th generation Intel Core™ processors. Before this update, the overclocking features of new Haswell ‘K Series’ processors could be enjoyed only with motherboards based on the Intel Z87 chipset. Now, however, performance enthusiasts can exploit the power of Haswell K Series processors using ASUS 8 Series motherboards like the ASUS H87M-PRO and B85-PRO.
Extra performance — no extra cost
The BIOS update is a free download for 10 ASUS motherboards — the H87-PRO, H87-PLUS, H87M-PRO, H87M-PLUS, H87M-E, H87I-PLUS, B85-PRO, B85-PLUS, B85M-E and B85M-G.
Once installed, the update enables frequency multiplier-based overclocking in one simple step for unlocked Intel K Series processors such as the Intel Core i7-4770K and Core i5 4670K. The BIOS also includes several features to make life simpler for PC users. A ‘Last Modified’ log makes it easy to determine when and how a particular setting was changed, and custom settings can be saved to a ‘favorites’ list for rapid switching to suit different applications.
All-around protection for superior reliability
All ASUS motherboards based on Intel 8 Series chipsets feature high-endurance 5X Protection technology for the ultimate in reliability and durability. DIGI+ VRM voltage regulation ensures precise digital control over power delivery to the processor for reduced energy consumption and enhanced stability, while resettable fuses protect I/O ports and DIMM slots from short circuits and voltage spikes.
Electrostatic-discharge guards also protect sensitive components from electromagnetic interference and high-quality solid capacitors that are industry-rated for a lifespan for over 50 years of continuous use under typical operating conditions (at 65 degrees Centigrade) — over twice as long as traditional electrolytic capacitors.
The newly enabled overclocking features for Intel Haswell K Series processors and the superior reliability of 5X Protection technology reaffirm the ASUS commitment to giving customers the best in PC performance at a price they can afford.

Well im back and very confused. I ran OCCT on a different ram sticks and different ram locations. All the test ran longer than with both 4g stick in dual channel but all failed at some point. I ran a program i found called heavy load but all test past.

I know you would normaly run a test for an hour or more, but i cant get past a minute with out a failure

Well, im stumped. I checked everything. My board bios shows all my hardware is present and working at stock settings. I cant get my ram to run a 1600, but thats not a big deal right now. The only thing thats jumping out at me is that my psu fan is not spinning but i have read it wont unless using over 200w
Im a causal builder and never ran into this kind of problem before. Good thing i checked here before i bought a new video card. Looks like thats the least of my problems. And the real problem is deeper than i thought. Thanks for all your help guys. You saved me 250$

OCCT GPU test or CPU test? I don't recommend stress-testing your GPU with MSI Kombuster, OCCT GPU, Furmark, or equivalent anymore. Those have the potential to kill your graphics card (and I suspect a previous incident I had with a failed / blown VRM might have been related to excessive stress testing).
If you had a crash after a few seconds or minutes with CPU test, then it can be your CPU, your RAM, your memory controller. Since Prime95 seems to have run fine (10 minutes is not totally conclusive though), then it might be RAM (had that issue with a friend's build, turned out to be a bad RAM stick), as the OCCT CPU test (LinX I'm guessing?) does stress RAM.
