So I've bee trying to OC my CPU for the past few days without any luck. I can't get higher then the "Dummy OC" that the Mobo does and what ever benefits I get from "Turbo" mode.
I can't think of what is holding me back. Any time I try and go higher my system just craps out.
These are the settings off the top of my head (currently at work)
Vcore is at about 1.3v
BCLK is at about 160 stable, anything higher and it craps out.
This is the RAM I have - OCZ Gold 12GB (6 x 2GB) DDR3 1333
but I can;t get my ram to go at those speed and be stable.
Mobo - EVGA E758-A1 3-Way SLI (x16/x16/x8) LGA 1366 Intel X58
Every time I try and OC it higher then 3.2ghz it becomes hell trying to get it up and running again. When I try and bring the Mem to run at about 1333 speeds it makes the computer no longer be able to post and keeps rebooting. Have to clear the CMOS to be able to get it up and running again.
If I leave the Mem alone and try and OC the CPU windows will no longer load. I get a BSOD with a "Machine_check_exception" error. (CPU error from what I was able to determine.)
What do you guys/gals thing? I know I'm not giving everyone all the information needed (I'll update the post when I get home) but I have a feeling that my mem is holding me back.
Thoughts? Tips? Help?
Thanks everyone
