Hey guys, my motherboard claims to have a Hyper Transport capability on my motherboard of 2600Mhz, and my CPU of up to 4000Mhz. I am rather new to overclocking, but I went into my bios, saw that both of which were running at 2000Mhz, so I tried to put it at the stock rating that my motherboard claims to have, which is 2600, and I did the same to the CPU. I tried to reboot and it wouldn't post. So I reset the CMOS, and got things back to normal, but I'm curious to know if anyone here knows why it wouldn't boot on the regular setting that it's been listed at?
Am I doing something wrong?
