Can't get it stable!

Finally got everything installed and running now, new board and new CPU cooler and whatnot. For some reason I can't get my CPU stable while all the cores are unlocked however, even though it ran fine with all cores running at 3.8GHz on the cheap M4A88TD-M board I had before.

What am I missing? I've tried raising the VCore all the way up to 1.5V, I've tried with LLC at various levels (as well as disabled), my RAM is underclocked so that can't be the issue... but it just keeps dying after just a few seconds of LinX.

Help? Slowly going mad here. :(
 
When you say, dying, does it Blue Screen and give you an error? or freeze up


Have you tried adjusting one thing at a time gradually and testing it each time? Its usually large jumps in changes or changing multiple things at a time that will bring a surprise and you won't know what caused it.
 
It just freezes, thankfully.

Not sure really, I've changed a lot of things in the BIOS over the past couple of days and nothing seemed to help. What's the standard voltage for a C3 quad? 1.425?

I'll try playing some more with voltages, will put the H60 on 100% while testing as well. It's just a bit confusing since the Sabertooth has so many more settings than any other board I've ever used, like voltage phases and such. :P
