I got my i7 to boot at 3.6GHz, but after 2 results from IntelBurnTest, it said the system was unstable. Any ideas on what to do now? Would be a real shame if I have a really bad overclocker =( but just my luck =(
set the QPI Link to your target speed and test to see what voltages you need before overclocking the cpu it's self.
shouldn't speedstep be left on so that chip isn't always running at high speed?
If you are surfing the net certainly no need for a 4g overclock
Diablo please can you add a pic of your advanced cpu features...pr list what you have enabled and disabled?
I think you have just solved all my problems...cheers mate!
From an ignoramus who does not understand I7 O/C [yet], what does the above mean?
In your piccie you have set it to 36; what is "36"?
I am one GIANT tool.
I had my freaking Vcore set to 1.13V thinking it was actually at 1.3V.
How stupid can you get! Guess I was being over safe =p
Oh well. Time to test how far I can REALLY take this baby now =D Vcore set to 1.3V for now. Will decrease once I hit 4GHz stable, and see how low she can go ^^
Massive help needed !!
Just tried to lower the vcore a little more, it crashed in windows now i cant even get into the bios.
LED code shows 26. Tried clearing the cmos via the button and removing the battery but still cant get back into the bios. Any ideas what i can do here ?
