Hello everyone

For a while now I've been trying to find a stable overclock of my elderly hardware to push the last bit of power out of it (and because I'm to cheap to upgrade) but I'm getting errors in OCCT all the time and I'm about to throw the towel in and give up - but then i figured that maybe there's some of you that might have the solution to my problems

Firstly - heres my hardware
Asus P6T Deluxe v2
Intel i7 920 D0
3x2 GB ocz platinium (DDR3 1600mhz)
AMD 7970

I've been running with an overclock at 3,7ghz and my ram at 1483mhz 7/7/7/20 but i keep getting errors in OCCT after a short time



I figured i might be the ram causing the issue so i tried running memtest for a bit, but it gave no errors




so now I think it might be the voltages that causes the problem

im running with 20 stepping and BLCK at 185 with 1.250000 CPU and QPI/DRAM Core voltage and 1.64 DRAM Bus Voltage (should be 1.65 but can only get 1.64 or 1.66 in my bios)

Heres a word document with my bios setup

Am i doing anything wrong?


PS feel free to ask if there is anything i've missed - english is not my first language

Try downclocking just a bit and see if your errors persist, and if they do you've reached your limit. That is also a slightly heavy overclock and you've upped the voltage a bit as well, I wouldn't badger it too long or too much or you might encounter hardware failure. I'd buy a new mobo and upgrade the processor first, GPU's can come later. I realize you said you're cheap but this stuff isn't terribly expensive.

Also you might try you use another kind of stress test, although I highly, highly doubt this will help.
