Hi, Ive had this current cpu for a while now, and when I first got it, it could run no probs at 3.84ghz (however) it was heating up real quick so i decided to lower the fsb to 230 (or 3.67ghz)... ive been running it at that speed since then with 1.4125v and everything is stable.
I went over to my cousins yesterday (he got a 3.2e sl7e5) and we tried oc with his stock intel cooler... we got it to boot at 4.14ghz with 1.4v (but it wasnt stable and the temps were getting high.)
I got excited and went home to see about pushing my cpu. Guess what: I cant even get 3.75ghz, let alone 3.84ghz stable. At 3.84ghz windows wont even load up. My temps are sky rocketing (a lot warmer then my cousins and I have an xp120 with a good fan... and the window open (window to the great cold outdoors)... im still hitting 60C.
This is frustrating. Ive tried different bios versions (was using 1016 since i bought the board.... then I tried 1020 beta 3, then 1019 and now 1018).... none of them change my situation.
Any ideas? Why is this chip crappy now? Why is it sooo hot?
