Phenom II x6 1055T won't go above 3150mhz!

[Roflcopter92]

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

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.

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

Try loosening ram to 9-9-9-27

How would I do that?


Here's the videos I watched to be specific.

Both videos say that you don't have to adjust the voltage at all.

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
