SirPulok Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hello everybody, I would not say that I'm a newbie to OC'ing, I know all of the steps to perform for a good overclock, the DRAM frequency, FSB and all of that. I recently got my self a Maximus II Formula and a E8400, I think that I got a fairly good chip since I'm OCCT stable at 460*9 @ 1.24V. Any way as all serious OC'er I would like to continue to see what this chip can do, I'm on air cooling for the moment, but I do have a WC set around, but no reservoir. So getting to my problem: I'm stable no problem @ 460*9 but at 465*9 I get a BSOD, the same happened at 465*8, etc... No matter how high I go on the voltages I still have a problem. I have OCZ SLI Ready 2*1Gb PC8500 5-5-5-15 Ram so technically I could go up to 1066/2= 533 FSB with my ram (According to a post I saw on XS). Could some body help me? Here are some screenies: Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted March 14, 2010 Crew Share Posted March 14, 2010 Lower Vdimm mate to 2.1 and up NB voltage to at least 1.3 ( is this on X38 or X48 ? ) Could be ya rams don't cut it above 1110mhz , why not try another ratio ? Also take note that with 45nm CPU's more voltages isn't always better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
