Hi guys....
Over the last few months i have been pondering about Overclocking my CPU and have tried a few times but have not successfully OverClocked stably anything worth noting down, Only a few minor OverClocks by FSB.
Now i have very little knowledge on OverClocking except what i have read through forums all over the net, however i generally always come back to this site so decided i would make an account and ask for help on what i need.
My System Specs are:
Phenom II x4 945 95w 3.0ghz
Asrock n68c-s ucc
Corsair Vengeance 8gb (2 x 4GB)
GTX 550 ti
Corsair Hydro H60 Cpu cooler
Corsair 650w Enthusiast Series
Icute Jet Turbine Case
3 x 120mm Air Fans
1 x 140mm Air Fan
If i have missed anything then please ask and i will correct.
My Bios version is 1.50 as that may help, I try to Overclock to 3.6 ghz, now i can get the pc to boot up fine with this and i run occt cpu stress test ( not the linpack as im not sure what that does) My temps will run around 38 degrees on idle at this but as soon as i run the stress it will hop upto 55.5 degrees and either two things will happen either my PC turns itself off or i get an Uncorrectable hardware error BSOD though the BSOD will happen within the first minute of starting the test otherwise it will run for 2-3 minutes before the computer shuts off.
At the moment im doing this on stock settings as im completly lost by it all due to being a Noob lol, so i was wondering if there is anyone that could possibly help me out and i will do my best to follow advice and provide more info if needed....
Thanks again guys
