why do neither of my PCS gaming rigs ever hold their overclock settings?

I have received my 2nd PCS Gaming Rig and I'm having the same probs as my 1st one?

My first rig would never hold the OC settings for more than a week or two, so after several OC resets I decided to keep it at stock speed and its been fine ever since.

My second PCS rig(2 weeks old) would not boot or hold the OC settings so I'm running at stock speed atm

Any Idea why this maybe?? are mildly OC PC's always that unstable/unreliable?

The BIOS is going to be entirely a motherboard thing. So see if there are issues with your models of board.
My OC of + .4 holds fine.

Ummmm all I can tell you is that both pc's were OC by pcs specialists, they preloaded the oc profiles according to my mobo's and neither hold the settings?

If you are just doing a small overclock all you need to do is put in the ratio number to get the new GHz target (I don't understand the number for the ASUS® P6X58D-E, you'd have to find out how that works) and you will very likely not need to change anything else (save the settings).
If your boards have some kind of built in profiles go into the BIOS and have a look and see what might be happening. Don't be afraid of the BIOS. Just don't change anything if you don't know what it does.
If you have a software OC thing I would steer clear of it and do any clocking in the BIOS.

The only OC profiles were created by the pcs techs(as I ordered from the PCS OC section)........they are the experts I guess? And neither pc ever holds the OC settings?
