Aurora R5 - OC failure - Ubuntu
Hi,
My problem seems that so similar to http://en.community.dell.com/owners-club/alienware/f/3746/t/19987400. My configuration
- i7-6700k
- GTX 1080 FE
- 16gb FURY ram 2400 (xmp-ready)
- 850PSU(liquid cooled)
I am not using windows installed HDD, I have installed SSD to it and Ubuntu 16.04.1. But when I restart the computer, every time I am getting this bios message: ( http://imgur.com/a/wVFRJ
"The OC settings has been reset to default value"
First time, I got BIOS OC failure message but could not get screenshot. Is there any possibility that Ubuntu is causing this error or failure? If it is, should not be it? Any suggestions?
p.s.: I have also added the bios menu for the overclock configuration. ( http://imgur.com/a/wVFRJ )

Not sure if it helps bro but from my thread I stated I contacted a tech support and they told me its a BIOS issue and there's a BIOS update planned "in the coming weeks".
Currently all R5's ship with BIOS 1.0.4 which seems to be experiencing quite a lot of OC problems, basically R5's all shipped with a *** BIOS.
If the BIOS update doesn't happen within my return period I'm just gonna end of refunding my R5 as its defective and we paid for factory OC at the least. Also according to Mr. Fox, the i7 6700k should easily be able to run 4.5ghz on all cores, we even have liquid cooling so it should be no problem at all.
Good luck to you!

Definitely... something is messed up with the BIOS. The question that remains to be answered is whether or not the overclock blocking and lack of enthusiast grade overclock settings in the BIOS is intentional. If it is an accident and they fix it pronto, no problem. If it's how they actually intended it to be locked down and they don't correct it very swiftly, that's a pretty huge problem. Let's hope they jump right in and fix everything on the timeline mentioned, then everything can be as it should be.
