Motherboard - GA-EX58-UD3R
RAM = http://www.compusa.com/application [...] u=C13-6152
I have 3 sticks of those running tripple channel.
Bios Settings.
CPU Clock Ratio 20x
CPU Frequency 4.00GHz (200x20)
QPI Clock Ratio Auto (I had it set to x36 then changed it to Auto and it has made a difference so far)
QPI Link Speed 7.2GHz
Uncore Clock Ratio x17
Uncore Frequency 3400MHz
BCLK Frequency 200
System Memory Multiplier 8.0
CPU VCore 1.325
QPI/Vtt Volts 1.315
IOH Core 1.30 (This setting I never changed until yesterday and I think it made a difference. This setting was mentioned in the article from Voicy but not in the guide provided by Gigabyte)
DRAM Volts 1.66v
CAS - somehow by default it was at 8/20 I changed it to 8/24 and tried 9/24
As of right now, I ran Prime95 for 2 hours and no errors, I also set Prime95 to test with 1 thread while setting the memory to 6100MBs and ran for over an hour with no errors.
I then Ran LinX with the default settings of 16331 for the problem size and 2048 for the memory but increased it to run 10 times and ran with no errors.. This was the program I was getting errors on earlier this week.
I then ran Memtest in windows. I ran 2 instances at the same time using 1500MB of RAM in each instance and it ran for over 200% coverage with no errors.
I ran Fraps, GPU-Z to record highest temps, Real Temps to record max temps and played MWII for well over an hour and no crashes at all.
Everything seem fine and dandy until yesterday, not even 4 rounds deep into MWII MP, it locks up, no BSOD, no hard crash like before, but a lock up with this loud repetitive sound. I had to do a hard boot and then I ran those tests again.
This time Prime95 had one out of 8 workers stopped. it ran 6 tests in 11 minutes with 1 error.. Ran 2 different tests in OCCT and they passed, then tried Prime again and the same worker stopped.
These are the 2 sources I used to help with the OC

The gigabyte link has a "grab a guide"
Can anyone tell me if my MoBo isn't meant to have the RAM OC'd? is it the IMC arguing with the RAM frequency? Does the CPU and the RAM not getting along to cause these lockups and BSODs before?
Please advise... I am at a loss.
