Hey everyone, I'm new to the forums and I am in need of some advice per say.
My old motherboard blew up a week ago and so I said screw it, and spent my entire income tax check building a new computer from scratch. My last motherboard was an old model that supported 1156 cpus. The old one was an asus p7h55-m. With that mother board I was able to overclock my core i3-540 no fairly easily from 3.0ghz to 3.7ghz. There was an option in there that let me set my BLCK from auto to DHOMP or something to that effect and that overclocked everything for me.
My new motherboard is an 1155 socket type and is an asus p8h67-m and my new cpu is the second gen core i3-2120. This motherboard does not have that option and makes me set the BLCK manually. The default right now is set to 110.0 but when I try and change it just the slightest bit it says overclocking failed.
I want to get this bad boy up to about 3.8 or 3.9 ghz which would be about 190.0BLCK. Do I need to change the voltage too or something? What do I need to do?
