hi thanks for fast reply

i have tried a lot of settings and you're right my cpu doesn't like 4GHz or more (which is annoying as i see a lot of 4.2 on youtube but oh well)

and my RAM doesn't like more than 1760MHz, maybe its till not low enough? the ram speed only moves in around 400MHz increments, therefor i may havto resort to lowering the FSB(?) which will lower CPU too

i use coretemp and it says my custom watercooling loop keeps it under 52*C @ 100% load, after it has been warmed by gaming or stress testing it idles to about 34*C

nice to know its not just me

i am hoping to get something more out of my ram as well as cpu but if i havto resort to using just the multi i will, thanks

RB-C3

sorry i wrote that wrong, i have 2X2GB so removing 4GB would be baaaaad i have upped the CPU/NB one step as you suggested though so i will starcraft 2 test it soon

your 955 is at 4.2, nearly 4.3! lucky you though, congrats!

what is CnQ? a BIOS option i guess?

i am 99% sure that was one of the many settings i tried and it wouldn't have it

either that or i decided to be very tight and get the max out of my ram

 

[UkayJ]

oh yeah i heard that.

well not only did i complete 5 hrs and 10mins of prime 95 blend test successfully but i haven't had a blue screen of death since upping the CPU/NB frequency 1 step so thanks very much for your help
