I5 760 OC

[bachman255]

Hi,

I'm attempting my first OC and I'm having some issues. Any attempt to raise the base clock beyond 146-148 is leading me to boot failures, thus reverting my bios back to factory settings. I've run stress tests at the 146 range and by no means is cooling an isssue, I've maxed close to 50C after half an hour.

The vcore is set at 1.25 at default settings, and bumping it to 1.28 has not alleviated the issues. Is this hardware related or am I completely missing something here?

I didn't remember to lower my RAM's multiplier but thank you. Running at 3.7 pretty easily now.
