Hello, I'm new to this forum but have been referencing it on and off over the years. I picked up this desktop for relatively cheap last year and just recently decided that I want to OC it to about 4-4.5Ghz. It's not that it's not doing what I need or want it to do, but like my twin turbo Corvette (800ish rwhp), more is better. lol
Specs:
Alienware Full Tower
-ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 mobo
-Intel i7 975 3.3Ghz CPU
-G.Skill Ripjaws 24GB (6x4GB Triple Channel) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
-Thermaltake 1200watt PSU
-Watercooled CPU, everything else fans
-2x R6970 in Crossfire (no OC yet)
-Windows 7 Professional
I've read some threads about the process for changing the settings in the BIOS, and have even used a few other people's parameters, but when I did (191x21 for instance) the OS/computer would freeze or show BSOD at startup.
I guess what I'm asking, is with the hardware listed, could someone provide me a tried and true parameter for all the settings for me to input and then stress test for stability? I'm sure there's someone here with similar hardware, and while it's not all cookie cutter simple, I'm ok with close enough.
I can take and post pictures of my BIOS menu if needed.
Thanks in advance!
