Ok tried ur above settings and seems stable now.
saved it as a new profile 3. Is there a programme I can use to test the processor speed?
I have a temp programme already what does prime show me? So how do I go about oc CPU past 4.0mhz
use cpz-z and HWMonitor from the same people, i find realtemp a little out compared to HWMonitor and F-stream (asrocks own hardware monitor and overclock utility on the driver cd)
download prime-95 and run a blend test for four hours, it will max out all your cores and also a little of your ram. it will test for instabilities dont be afraid about maxing out your cores just monitor your temps.
what cooler do you have?
this is what i would do for a 4.5GHz oc
multi 45
intel speedstep technology disabled <-------
turbo boost power limit auto
additional turbo voltage auto
core current limit 100
host clock override (blck) 100.0 mhz
spread spectrum disabled
In the DRAM settings
power saving mode disabled
CPU Core Voltage -0.015v offset mode <---------
cpu load-line calibration level2 <-------
dram voltage 1.56v
pch voltage 1.059v auto
cpu pull voltage 1.709v auto<--------------------------------EDIT REDUCE THIS TO REDUCE HEAT
vtt voltage 1.051v auto
vccsa voltage 0.925v auto
in cpu setting disable
c1e
c3
c6
c state support
cpu thermal throttling
with the above see if it posts, if it does turn on you cpu-z and hwmonitor and have a look at what volts the cpu is getting (should be around 1.25-1.35v roughly)
if you are getting the above run prime blend test, dont worrry if it bsods if it does it will more than likely give you a 101 or 124 error meaning up the vcore so in bios up the offset to -0.010, you may need to up it further to achieve 4 hours or you may find you can reduse it further -0.020 and still find its stable.
because of the amount of ram you have it may help to up the ram volts to between 1.56 and 1.6v (WHAT RAM DO YOU HAVE?) to help stablize your oc.
ok i think thats everything
