Hey all you overclockers!
Specs:
ASROCK H55DE3
I3 540
Thermalright silver arrow
ASUS EAH6870
2x2 GB hyperX 1600 MHz, cl9, 1.65V
CM GX-RS 750
EDIT: right now i only have one stick of ram in it, don't know if that makes any difference.
I have been trying to overclock my CPU since i purchased the silver arrow cooler, but i just can't get passed 4.2 GHz without crashing. (P95 failure, BSOD, not loading windows, stuff like that)
The 4.2 GHz is when i use my mobo's auto OC feature in BIOS, (4.2 GHz, is the highest it will go)
and the things it changes to get there is these:
BLCK: 191
Multi: 22
DRAM frequensy: 764MHZ DDR3_1528
Vdroop off
CPU voltage (Vcore i guess, right?) 1.26250V
This overclock actually isn't stable according to prime95,(3th thread fails) but i have been playing battlefield 3 with it for several hours without crashes.
So from there i have tried all kinds of things. I tried to change multi to 23 (max) = crash.
i sticked with the 23 multi, and bumped the BLCK up one for one.. = different kinds of crashes. (BSOD, P95 fail and BSOD, not loading windows)
Then i tried changing the CPU volt, moving it up, step by step.
still crashing. So i guess i will have to change different things, but i don't know what.
In advance, thank you
**This is my first time overclocking, so please take it easy on me**
