Hello guys i am from Colombia, so.... my english sucks!
First of all i want to tell u guys, about my Dinassaur rig.
*A8-3870k 3.0 ghz and a 1.4 Cpu V. stock
*MSI A75MA-G55
*Corsair vengeance 2X4 DDR3 Ver. 2.12 (1600 CL9) (i have a dominator 4X4 1866 just packaged, dont wanna use it yet.)
*TT Hyper 212 evo
*HDD: Itachi Barracuda 7200 rpm
*TT TR2 600 W
*I have a VGA monitor (this is important because HDMI port maybe could be efficient for OC, IDK u tell me).
*Gigabyte R9-270X Windforce 2GB DDR5
*Windows 10 pro 64 bits.
Well!. i have been researching about my chip, and i want to get a respectable 24/7 OC, Just to my CPU, not my GPU.
I cant not pass the barrier of 3.4 ghz without crashing my OS with Prime 95 with a 1.44 CPU Voltage.
I can have a stable frequency of 3.3 ghz without increasing my CPU Voltage. But when i go for 3.4 ghz (increasing the voltage +0.4) there u go! the crash. I want to quote if i increase the frequency to 3.4 ghz without moving the CPU V, i cant even get into windows.
NOTE: I am scared of increasing the CPU V to 1.5, i have do it, but still not getting an stable freaquency of 3.4 ghz.
The thing is: is my Chip a lame?, or is other Hardware component of my rig that is making this issue?.
All my temps dont exceed the 60°C Full load.
I have the Cooln´QUiet Disable, State C6 Disable... what else?, lab burst mode on
Is there anything else i need to know about a basic oc?
Thx for reading....!
