MB: GA 970A-UD3
CPU: FX-6300
CPU COOLER: Arctic Freezer xtreme Rev 2.0
RAM : Patriot 8GB X2 1600MHZ CL9
Just put together a new build and I'm having issues with it freezing. The problem is unless in increase the vcore voltage from the default 'auto' setting to 1.45 the computer freezes right after I log in.
The CPU at stock should run at 3.5GHZ and turbo to 4.1GHZ on demand but I've only ever seen it go as high 3.8GHZ. My temperatures are fine on idle I get between 18-25 degrees and on load around 45 degrees MAX.
When I first put the build together a few days back I was running it at 4.5GHZ with a vcore of around 1.45 but it didn't seem too stable so I put it back to default then the problems started.
I've reset the BIOS twice by removing the battery it seems to boot on default settings after that but if i attempt an overclock it will stop booting on default settings.
I dont think its a PSU voltage issue as I was using the same PSU on my previous build and it ran my Q8300 overclocked from 2.5GHZ to 3.2GHZ fine at 1.45v.
I've also done a bit of searching and people seem to easily overclock this CPU to 4.1 and run it stable without even increasing the vcore. Yet mine wont boot on stock.
I think maybe the motherboard could be dropping the voltages too low when the CPU needs it..... any suggestions?
Edit: I've also tried running with one RAM stick, it didn't make a difference.
