hi
i finnaly got the guts to try an overclock.
I decided to go to 3 ghz to start with.
All i did was set the vcore to 1.35 as i heard this was safe for a decent overclock then up the bclk from 133 to 150. it auto set my ram from 1333 mhz to 15?? and the ram voltage set at 1.64v the highest deemed safe.
It booted ok, the temperatures were a bit high under full load peaking at 85 degrees but as i understand safe. but half an hour on prime 95 it bsoded! i thought 3ghz was supposed to be an easy overclock? what went wrong!? could it be my ram should i put it back to 1333 mhz or below? the ram is rated at 1600 mhz but the board wont allow me to set a ram voltage of 1.65 and didnt want to set above that so i originally downclocked to 1333 to avoid hassle.
any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!
