Hi guys

Il cut straight to the chase, I have a core i3 530 and I am having stability issues using it at 4073mhz. Pc freezes after 2 mins of OCCT test and crashes (blue screen).

Core i3 520
Asus p7p55 lx
Corsair Dominator 1gbx4 1600mhz 99924
Cooling Xigmatek Dark knight
Psu: Cm 600w extreme power

Settings i used

Multiplier 22x

Blck 185

Ram 1480mhz

cpu fixed voltage 1.356v

pll 1.8v

qpi/vtt: 1.25v

ram 1.65v

Please advise
 
Solution
Enter the BIOS again and disable all power
saving features. These include, but are not limited
to; EIST, C1E, and all other C-states, try bclk 200 x multiplier at x 20, test it use IntelBurn Test , this isn't longtime maybe 15minutes ..

Thank you for replying, Yes i use 4 ram sticks operating in dual channel. I have noticed that i cant oc much with 4 sticks. I haven't exactly noticed what the text says in the blue screen error but it dumps till 100 and then reboots. This is only when i put load on it otherwise it will keep running.

I cant find the details on toms hardware mentioning all the voltages. There is only this (limited info)

If you could help me out with some more settings, it would be great.

Got it to finally work at 200 x22 with rams @ 1080mhz. Set the cpu fixed voltage to 1.356v, pll to 1.80v and rams to 1.65v. Running at 3960mhz.

Used occt to test and did not crash. CHEERS
