Hi Folks, hoping i could pick some experienced brains for some help.
until recently i was running
quad core q6600 [email protected]
asus p5 suminsumin board
3 gb bog standard ddr2 800mhz ram
corsair water cooler tingy
plenty of fans
ran lovely no problems great stuff budget price, but i got greedy didnt i..
bout some kingston hyper x 1066mhz ram to replace said bog standard ram and now i can't overclock the cpu at all when i do i get all sorts of checksum errors and boot errors, works fine when i switch off the overclocking or if i switch the ram back down to 800mhz and overclocking back on its ok but im gutted i want to overclock and have the fast ram I WANT IT ALL!!!
obviously there is a hardware issue im guessing something to do with the cpu fsb running at its 1066 top end
the bios does provide the option of manual settings (until now ive been using the overclocking profiles) but im not keen on frying the thing. without sound advice that is
anyone got any advice on where to go from here i can spend bit of cash if i need to but not much im just a lowly chef not bill gates
TY and Happy christmas
