Good evening!
Im pretty new to overclocking in general, but after quite a bit of guide-reading I managed to get my i7 930 to 3.8 ghz and stable (30 hours or so prime95).
Everything is perfectly fine when Im in windows, but about 20% of the time when I start the computer it doesn't post, I can hear the fans being ramped up but nothing happens for about a minute and I end up just restarting, which then gives me the Overclocking Failed message and I have to reset my bios settings.
Currently Im running the cpu at 200x19 @ 1.225v, QPI/DRAM at 1.35V and Ram set to 7-7-7-20 @ 1.66V. I can post more/full bios settings if necessary.
What should I do/increase in order to have it always post successfully?
What are 'safe' QPI/DRAM voltages?
Thanks in advance for any help/ideas!
