your setting look good, but before you do much I would want to get a decent aftermarket cooler. the coolermaster hyper212+ can be found for cheap if you are on a tight budget
 
Ok no worries. So you think that might be why im not able to run those settings atm??
 
if y ou are willing to spend a little money I would recommend the magahalems cooler or the thermalriite true 120 extreme, they are way cheaper than the v10 and work as good or better.
You may try going to your advanced clock control and try setting the 2 top voltage back to the stock 900 and 800 settings and see if that helps. you may also try giving a little more qpi vtt. I would also try to take the cpu voltage off normal and set it to 1.3v and see if that helps to boot
 
Thanks for the input paulselhi. Anymore tips you can give me?? Yes i did follow someone else's settings .
 
Hey Danny, not sure if you've seen it, but we do have a good OCing guide here....you should definitely check it out if you haven't seen it yet.....click the link in my sig ;)
 
Guys i just dont like reading alot at once cause i will forget what i have read after like 4 sentences.. Easier if u guys just tell me some settings to try out.

Easier for you, but a royal PITA for everyone else. Good luck, but with an attitude like that, you're going to find that people on these forums are going to be very unwilling to help.
