I'm not an overclocker and my processor is locked. Even though, I was running XTU and was having some fun with it. Why not? It's fun to see how far your machine can go, even if you're not "in the business".
I am doing the only thing I'm able to do: raising (a bit) the reference clock. And I was just about to do what I should have done since the start: to lower my RAM frequency in order to have more room to raise the RC.
But it seems that XTU does not want to play anymore. Watchdog driver stopped working and, much worse than that, now the program always says that my settings "could not be applied". This happens even when I use the most conservative settings (say, RC = 101,52 instead of the last working settings: RC = 103,47).
I have already uninstalled and reinstalled XTU, and I'll do it once more but this time I'll try to clean manually the registry.
BTW, XTU keeps showing my RAM @ 1866, but I have configured it in the BIOS @ 1600 MHz and this was double-checked.
Any help will be appreciated!
