overclock woes

[Pilgrim57]

Have posted in CPU forum for advice as I can't get my 3570k above stock

One good thing though is that it chews through SETI, Rosetta & Climate prediction, taken 20 hour off a unit [Correliser only a minute gain].

If any of you can have a look at my post or make suggestion what to do, I would be obliged.
Hoping I have got a duff chip as the mobo has to come out to remove the HSF. Socket doesn't line up with cut out in HAF X case

Hi Toxic - lady luck seems to have deserted me apart fro a £9-30 lottery win.
Contacted OcUK, they have suggested just an RMA for the mobo. So old PC back in case on Sunday so I can return monday. I just hope to god it is a faulty board to save the expense of a charge & then having to RMA the CPU.
I have noticed that my monitor flickers when it comes back on from off/standby, so hoping that is another reason it is the mobo.

On a side note with BOINC 6.12.34 Lunatics 40 & back to gpu o/c, running sweet, so know it was v7 Boinc causing probs.
