i7-860 so far

Here's what she's sitting at now:

I'm wondering if I could push her to 4.0 on stock voltage...curious to see if anyone else has done it. First time overclocker here. Also curious if people mostly use the BLCK 200 and adjust the multiplier to overclock? Or should I say with the 21 Multiplier?

Vcore looks a bit high for 3.6GHz, is it set to auto?

I'll have to check, I finished up late at night so I'm hoping I didn't set it to auto I normally see the 860's vcore around 1.36 for 3.8 OC's from my research, am I looking at the wrong stats? I thought 1.31 was a decent voltage from that statistic.

 

[Moonzi]

bumped down...how's it look now?

 

[yepp]

Vcore looks more in line, how's the temps? Have you tested it for stability?

 

[Moonzi]

Temps are good, I went to run LinX this morning with all RAM...and now it randomly went into a boot loop. Was stable for almost a week before hand. Played BC2, WoW, all Futuremark benchmarks (I know this isn't really a test) when I went to run LinX windows went to close...had to got to work though can test more tonight.

Did it past LinX with default RAM settings? Notice you're running 4 sticks of RAM, probably need to tinker with VTT a bit.

LinX for some reason didn't even run, said wasn't sufficient RAM when I went to run it...then windows said the program crashed and close it...after that it went into a boot loop...needless to say I was very confused but now I'm sitting at work twiddling my thumbs waiting to get home to try and fix it, I'll let you know what I find.

Also, 1 pass of Memtest86 no errors beforehand. TBH I'm thinking of reinstalling windows...hoping it's a software issue...I messed up when I installed windows on the SSD anyway and just recently switched it to AHCI. Good idea? Booted into Safe Mode fine.
