Hey everyone, So in the race for a bigger E-peen I've been pushing my Core i7 920 and recently managed a respectable 4.2Ghz (200 x 20 + Turbo and HT), I had it stable as a large rock.
Sadly my brother has a much better chip than me and managed 4.3Ghz (with less volts than I need at 4Ghz) so obviously I wasn't happy with that and thought I'd atleast attempt to match his 4.3Ghz OC.
In the BIOS I set my multi to 21 x 190 BLCK to give me 4.1Ghz and I'll leave tubo on to give me 4.3Ghz, I wanted to make sure it would at least boot so I set the Vcore to 1.425V, QPI to 1.395V, IOH Core to 1.220V, DRAM to 1.66V and set some others but I can't remember what there called.
Hit F10 to save and quit only to find that my PC wouldn't post at all, just kept power cyclying (powered on for about 3-4 seconds then restarting), I hit the Clear CMOS botton and tried my orginal 4.2Ghz settings that I know are stable, But still no joy, I then tried 3.8Ghz with my 4.2Ghz voltages... Still no joy. Sad times indeed.
I'm typing this at stock speed
Now when I boot I can hear coil whine that I couldn't hear before, and when I move my mouse I can hear coil whine... Did I damage something?
Could really use some helps please!
