Stability Issues

Alright I seriously believe now that this RAM is holding me back. I could not get 3.4 GHz stable and eventually couldn't even boot into windows using any voltage, even the 1.25v that originally worked. I tried 3.2 GHz at many different voltages, and 3.6 GHz and nothing was working. Using a BCLK...

Well I tried those settings and it would freeze on the windows loading screen (I also tried 1.4v and it made no difference). However, I just moved the CPU Multiplier to 17x (putting me at 3.4 GHz) with a CPU Voltage of 1.25v, and I was able to boot into windows. I quickly turned off my computer...

Stability Issues

Well first I'm going to try and find someone with DDR3 RAM that I can test with. If it ends up being the RAM, I really have no idea what I can do. It's not like I can just return the RAM, I bought all this stuff in May. I just recently got a heatsink, and that's what motivated me to do all this...

Stability Issues

Well I really don't know what to do. I don't know anyone who has some DDR3 I could test with. I was suspicious that it was the motherboard when I had to use such high voltages for a small overclock but after I realized I was severely overvolting, it turned my attention to the RAM. It seems like...

Stability Issues

Well when I was trying to get DDR3-1600 to work, I played around with the QPI Voltage a lot, and could not get anything to be stable. However, I'm actually running Memtest86+ right now with my RAM multiplier at 10x giving me DDR3-1600 7-7-7-24-1T (which are the specs for this RAM) and a QPI...

Okay I just ran Memtest86+ and decided to let all the tests run since I feel they are all important. After 40 minutes, all tests passed with no errors. I'll let it run some more but i'm pretty sure i'm not going to get any errors. This memory is running well within spec, and there is no reason...

I also forgot to mention that I did a few tests with LinX as well. I tried doing tests using the minimum amount of memory (16MB) and 500 runs, but it would fail between 10-30 seconds which is about test #75-#150. I also tried testing using all the available memory (5126MB) and 20 runs, but it...

Alright here's the deal, my overclocking experience has a little bit of a story to it, but if you can bear with me, I think it will help me achieve a much higher overclock than I originally intended. I have the following hardware: Intel Core i7 920 C0 ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution OCZ DDR3-1600...

Which CPU Temperature should I trust?

Hello, I have a Pentium E2180 that I am currently overclocking. I am using CPUID's hardware monitor to check my temperatures. Right now core #0 is 41 C and core #1 is 41 C. However, the Winbond sensors (which are my motherboard right?) say my CPUTIN is 47 C. Since I want to stay under 60 C at...
