Hello, first post :)

So tonight was my first attempt at overclocking, in this case, my 1055T. I've been watching videos and reading articles for around a while now and seen guys getting it to 4ghz, but I decided since this was my first time I'd go for 3.5ghz.

No no.

As soon as I set my bus to anything above 225, my comp restarts and hits me with the 'Overclocking has failed!' rubbish.
I originally set my bus to 250 and my NB multiplier to 7x, but instant failure.

I'm not really disappointed with a gain from 2.8ghz to 3.1ghz, but I was hoping for more. I don't know what the problem is to be honest. Power? Mobo? Ram? No idea.

Speaking of Ram... I've got 1x4gb DDR3 at 1333mhz installed, but I think it might be in the wrong slot. I was checking my Ram speeds in the BIOS and the max it would let me select was 800mhz!? CPU-Z also says it's currently running at 600. Wtf!

I have a 580w power supply, and an aftermarket cooler. Nothing mega fancy but twice the size of a stock cooler.

Any help would be gladly appreciated :)

Your vcore is fairly high so I would not increase that.

Your ram is 1.5V, could go to 1.55V
Try loosening ram to 9-9-9-27

I have 250 x 14 CPU 3.5GHz as 24/7 OC
vcore at 1.35V
NB and HT 250 x 8 = 2000
memory at 1667MHz 6.66 x 250 (1600 memory)

your ram at 250MHz fsb 3:8 will give 667MHz which is correct for 1333MHz DDR.
currently at 225 x 8 / 3 = 600

see sig for other hardware.

Thank you for the replies :)

what MB?
try 222 and multiplier 15 gets me 3.33 stable
and core volt to 1.45

My mobo is shown in the screenshot.

How would I do that?


Here's the videos I watched to be specific.

and

Both videos say that you don't have to adjust the voltage at all.
 
bios | advanced | jumperfree configuration.

memory clock mode: manual
memclock value 667Mhz
Dram timing mode: Both
TCL 9CLK
TRCD 9CLK
TRP 9
TRAS 27CLK
TRC 36CLK
(on both slots)

looking at motherboard manual and googling a bit

Sorry, I'm just at a bit of a loose end here. Thank you for your help! I'll try it now and let you know how it went.

EDIT: Nope, didn't work again. This is so confusing :(
