Now that I've had a day to reflect on my OC experience, I'm sure I borked my CPU.
I had applied the TIM and had booted to warm it up. I forgot the time and had the computer shut down on me. I immediately rebooted and got the quick BIOS boot screen, at the bottom it said "CPU OVERHEAT WARNING"
I gave the CPU\POT 15~20 min to cool down before I started benching. If I left the CPU\MOBO in the auto config, it would boot and run normally. I could not changed 1 thing in the BIOS without it messing up the base clock. I could not change the multi, bclk, cpu power, ram ratio, ram voltage, ECT..ECT..ECT. The computer would base boot @ 4.0-4.8 and Mem 2400-3600. In windows though I would have a CPU with a speed of 555.00 with a multi of 5.5.
^ This just happened while I was messing with the BIOS. I was trying to get to 2 cores on boot for superpi.
Did I mess up my CPUs power states. IIRC when any of the things I mentioned gets change, the CPU switches into OC mode.
^ Before this happened I was benching @4.6xx and Mem @3.xx depending on my BCLK.
Thank You For Your Time
