Failing To Post? Any Reason Why?

Ive recently got this Processor, and can get it up to high clocks so far about 3.4 on stock volts but sometimes it decides not to post? Why is this, ive never encountered this before with any other CPU.

Currently at 3.2 because it seems to post everytime on this clock.

Details of what i have in sig.

EDIT: Title supposed to be Failing... Could some nice person correct this

The person i got this off had it at 3.5Ghz on stock volts, if im lucky i can boot up at 3.4Ghz but if i shut down and reboot it doesnt Post

Tried taking to of the sticks out still no joy, i just think im too reluctant to up the Vcore thats all.

Ive put the voltage to 1.425 and its stable at this since yesterday, its perfect but as soon as i turn the computer totally off then on it doesnt post.

I got annoyed and wacked it up and 3.6ghz because it wouldnt boot at 3.4, it started on 3.6 but wasnt stable.

The voltage i had on the 3.6 clock was 1.46 or something aroung there and when i was on OCCT and testing it goes straight down to 1.32-1.37 its a tad strange.

P.S my Ram is fine, no problems in that department so far. Ive put it the voltage up .05v though

what do the rails on the psu look like on the occt graphs, if they are going all over the palce it may be down to the psu not being powerful enough or on its last legs.

i would also try uping the voltage if you are seeing signifcant drops unless the temps are running fairly high? but you still havent told us how hight they are going.

Just bought a new Hiper 580w in fact , that was on monday.

Anyway just started failing to post again, is it my motherboard playing up? If im lucky it posts but its annoying having to mess around with it just to start my computer up.

My Rails are fine ran OCCT and its totally stable at 3.4Ghz, Ram is 1:1 and its fine, took 2 sticks out to see if it was that but nope. Even if i put volts up it still doesnt work. Just doesnt post.

When i no its not going post the LED's on my RAM dont turn on, If this is any help.

should i RMA the board?

Temps Are At 34*C idle and 44*C load.

Just checked its a C0. Hope thats still good though!

Im not spending anymore money of this system, ive had enough of always finding something then upgrading then finding something else. Why is it classed as a overclocking board if it cant hold VCore right , typical. Not getting a ABIT again then.

Ill try and go for it if it posts. Its seeming to post more often at 3.4ghz at this point in time which os good.

I got the 875 because its the latest one i can possibly get for socket 478. Should i have gone for 865>?
