Hi Guys!
I`m having serious trouble overclocking my i7 970 chip.
My current setup is:
i7 970 es
GA-X58A-UD5 rev1 (bios f6- latest stable)
6gb corsair 1600mhz ram (3x2gb)
cooling: at the moment corsair h50 but getting nh-d14 next week
I have tried various settings in the bios after reading various guides and templates found on the net. I was able to boot into windows @4.0 but usually bsod after 5-6 mins of prime95. Temps were always ok - never more than 72C.
Tried various settings, ex:
200x20
qpi/vtt 1.35
cpu vcore 1.28
Ram 1.66
Tries upping vcore but no help. Tried playing up with vcore, qpi, pll, ich, ioh but no luck.
Many thanks in advance!
Can someone please help me with overclocking my system? I`m looking for 4.0 or 4.2 for 24/7 use.
