So I'm using an Asus Maximus Formula SE + TRUE + Scythe SFF21F 1600RPM Fan.
I can easily get to 3.0 GHz with voltages on auto, but I'm having trouble getting stable @ 3.4
Here's what I did @3.4 (9*378)
I disabled both spectrums, C1E, Max CPUID value limit, Vanderpool. Memory timings are in auto. I have 2X2 GB OCZ HPC Reapers.
I set the vcore as high as 1.5 in bios (~1.42 in windows with CPU-z) VID is 1.325. I ran Prime95 and the 4th core always seems to not be able to run within the minute. Sometimes afterwards, I get BSOD. I can post and log into windows, but where I should I go from here?
Questions:
1) Will a high Vcore make the chip unstable, or will it just produce more heat? Temps are in the mid 60's, but I can always lower this after I know it can run stable with more than enough volts.
2) What other settings will I need to adjust? Will the NB voltage need adjustments? the FSB isn't that high that requires this right?
As you can see, I'm fairly new to O/Cing. I did read the guide, but I'm still having trouble. Much thanks for any help.
