Hi everyone,
I have been working with this Bulldozer to overclock it on an Asus Crosshair 5 Formula board.
I have to say, what an annoying thing to overclock.
2 Weeks later, and multiple reboots, I cannot get this bulldozer to exceed 4.2Ghz. I watched ALL of Asus help video's on youtube. I have watched others do it. I have tried everything under the sun, and wound up with the same result: Windows crash on start up.
Setup:
CM 1000W Gold, Asus Crosshair 5 Formula, Mushkin Redline 16Gb (2X8), 3X 60gb SSD Raid 0, Asus Radeon 7970, FX 8150, Antec 620 Khuler WaterCooler, NZXT Phantom Full Enthusiast
CPU Ratio: 18.0
CPU Bus: 234
Mem Freq: 1872MHz
CPUv: 1.393750
CPU N/Bv: 1.162500
Dram: 1.55625
Ram timing: 9/10/9/27 As per Package specs (1866 Ram)
I am completely stable at 4.2GHz, been runinng for 2.5 years. But I decided to try and hit the 4.6 Ghz mark, however, I cannot even achieve 4.3 Ghz with out seriously cranking voltages, and still not getting anything stable. Any ideas? OR should I just give up on this Bulldozer. (I overclocked my stock intel 4770k to 4.6Ghz on Asus Hero board in less than an hour LOL)
Lemme know your thoughts
