I've been at this for days! Maybe someone can give me a heads-up:
So here's the issue: I can get it to 3.5ghz on 1.35ghz 38-42 c idle 53 load. 3.6 @ 1.36 55 c load, 3.7 gets stable at 1.41 ~59-60 load.
Any adjustment in northbridge results in a crash/bsod. Normally, at 3.2 ghz cpu, I can get the NB to 3ghz on 1.4v easily.
Ram timings at DDR3 1333 7-7-7-20-28-1t.
So my problem is: I can't get beyond 3.5ghz on a stable overclock. I'll be here with 3ghz NB since everything else fails.
Here's the equipment:
Crosshair III
955 BE
Zalman CNPS9900 (ocz freeze thermal paste)
OCZ dd3 1600 BE 4gb
Corsair 850tx
Sapphire 5850
Haf 922 (3 200mm fans, 2 140mm fans // negative pressure)
