First let me say HELLO!!!! Love the forums, and prey you all can help me out!
This is my dilema. I have currently built my first cpu and am a newcomer to the overclocking game, and have run into a problem in which im hoping you all can help me with.
Specs on the comp:
e6850 cpu
Asus Maximus Extreme MOBO
2 gig OCz DDR3 1600 rated clock of 7-7-7-20
Thermaltake 1k watt PS
3x Western Digital RaptureX 150 HD's
Swordm Watercooled Case (Cooling MOBO, and CPU)
2x HD 2900XT's (both with the Koolance waterblocks on them)
Thermaltake 780i cooling the GPU's.
Now after messing with it a bit I have passed the post and been able to enter windows just fine with it OC'd at 4.01 ghz, 3.93ghz, 3.86ghz, and 3.74ghz. At 3.74ghz I was able to run Prime95 for just over 4 hours before suddenly the computer would shutdown and restart. The Prime95 log would show no errors and a complete breakdown of the test (And yes error notification is enabled). Upon windows restarting I would again past the post, get no "overclock failed", and windows would simply start right up with the message "System recovered from an unexpected shutdown or whatever it is.
I currently have the FSB set at 420 to hit the 3.74, and had it as high as 440 to hit the 4.01. CPU voltage is curently set at 1.45v and the Dram settings are at 17XXXmhz .9X voltage and the clocks are at 7-7-7-15 manualy where as when set to Auto CPUZ was showing them at 9-9-9-20.
Im trying to get the comp to burnin and be stable at one of the above settings. All posted above setting CAN past the post and do run and work fine untill Prime95 gets to going. 3.74 currently can burn for just over 4 hours where as the other three (4.01, 3.93, 3.86) all suddenly shutdown and restart the comp after anywhere of running Prime95 from 15-35 minutes.
Is there anything I am overlooking ? Anything that is recommended ? I would honestly like to get it stable around the 3.9X+ mark, and am turning to you all in the hopes of getting it done =)
Any info would be more than welcome, and I thank you all for your time!!
Thanks,
Kevin
