Hi
I cant seem to get my phenom II X3 720 running stably past 3.5GHz, and am wondering which part of my pc is failing. Here are my specs:
-AMD Phenom II X3 720 running at 1.5v with the multiplier set to 17.5
-Coolermaster Hyper 212
-Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2 1066 running at 2.1v
-Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H with the FSB set to 201
-ATI Radeon 4670
-2 Samsung 160GB SATA drives running in RAID
-Great Wall 550W Power Supply
If I raise the multiplier or FSB even just by 1 the computer will blue screen after say an hour or shortly into running a resource intensive program. Im pretty sure it is not CPU temp. related as there is no noticeable temperature rise before the system blue screens. So I'm wondering if it is my cheap motherboard or the pretty much generic power supply maybe?
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks
