Hi all
I have built a new rig designed to be my dependable.....completely stable computer for actuall working on.
I used an asus commando & E6700 and wanted a gentle overclock to maximise the value of my chip.
I've used a titan amanda TEC heatsink which is giving me excellent temps.
On BIOS 0902 I tested the board up to a max Overclock of 500+ easily & the proc up to 3.65ghz stable
However I wanted to back off from this so dropped my settings to 400x8
I was surprised to find it didn't boot. In fact it didnt boot between 400 + 420 but I have it up & running again at 427.
Like I said I need absolute reliability as well as overclockability so was this just a simple FSB hole or is this likely to mean an as yet undiagnosed fault within my system??
All comments welcomed
