Hey all, I am fairly new the manual overclocking world. I have used basic multipliers in the past with voltages under 1.4 with good results but this new board is not making things easy. Upgraded my case, mb, and memory and swapped to water cooling this last week. Here is the build:
AMD Phenom x4 955 black
Asrock 970M Pro3 MB
16gb ddr3 gskill sniper 1866
Samsung 250gb SSD
Caviar black 1.5tb HD
Lepa aquachanger 240mm all in one liquid cooler
Powercolor HD 7700 1gb ddr5 ghz edition
Problem:
If I change any setting in the bios OC Tweaker, the system will not boot and defaults back to the stock settings. The board is also limiting my bus speed to 185-190Mhz. I updated the bios to the most current version. Anyone have experience with this board? I was able to run 4.0ghz on this processor @ 1.25v with air in my last case/mb setup. Thanks for your help!
Here is the text that comes up after restart:
Also just noticed that no matter what slot the ram is in, it will only run in single channel mode. CpuZ and windows both see 16gb but windows says only 8gb is usable. They are in a1 and b1 slots right now.
