NF7-S, 2500+, 512 Corsair XMS 3200 ram, Sparkle 350W PSU.
First off, I cant get anything stable past 200FSB. Everything past fails on the first test of prime95, with the multi as low as 8, and memcore all the way up.
Next is the multi. With the 200fsb, I require large amounts of vcore to get anywhere. Multi was 10.5 @ 1.85, and need 1.95 for a stable 11. I can boot past those, but it fails on the first prime95 test.
I am new at overclocking, but from what I read, I shouldn't need all this vcore. Now the reason I think it is my PSU. This is from what I read a good PSU. Anyways, my 12V rail is low, usually between 11.65 and 11.55. Isnt that unsually low? Or when overclocking, does it usually take big chunks from 12v? Or am I missing something?
Thanks for the help
