my default v core on 3.3ghz stands at 1.224

with a pair of 4gb 1600 corsair sticks running at 1337 atm

anyone with a similar setup got some overclocked settings that works?

(considering i've never played around with this mobo socket and cpu type before)

(atm im just doing some burn in tests 1 hour in) to enable the diamond tim to spread properly)

any help appreciated

Set ratio changing in OS to enabled, multiplier to 43, vcore offset by +0.005 i think.

It's running for me at that voltage at 4.5ghz, give it a try.
