Hi all,
I just built my new DDR3 rig and it has been nothing more than a headache than being able to enjoy it. Below are my specs...
System Specs:
Corsair 600T Graphite Series gaming case
Asus Sabbertooth 990FX motherboard
AMD FX 8120 8-Core Black Edition 3.9 Ghz(stock @ 3.1Ghz)
Corsair H80 Liquid CPU cooler
2- 200mm, 3- 120mm case fans for additional cooling
16 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 @ 1.50v ram
EVGA Geforce GTX 580 3GB
Corsair TX850 850 Watt PSU
500 GB Seagate HD/ 1 TB WD external HD
24" Viewsonic VX2453mh LED monitor/ 17' Samsung SyncMaster 710N(for TS, temp monitoring, etc)
Ok, being new to the DDR3 world, I have tried what seems to be everything to get the cpu clock anything over 4GHz, I just cant get it to run stable. I cant seem to get the ram timings/voltage and cpu multiplier/voltages right. Ive tried just raising just the cpu multiplier with Vcore set at 1.50v and setting ram freq to 1600 @ 1.50-1.65v and was able to get cpu clock all the way up to 4.45Ghz, posted and booted fine, but as soon as I started Prime95, Windows would just freeze up on me...
Im currently running on Manual, but my board automatically clocked my board up to 3.9Ghz,(CPU/PEG Freq 250, Vcore-1.40v, multiplier-15.5 and ram set at 1600mhz, and it seems to run stable with no crashes, but if I try to go any higher that the 4Ghz mark, I start running into problems because I dont know what im doing when it comes to adjusting the voltages on what needs more juice to go to a higher clock.
Can anyone help me with this? I dont have a temp issue so I know this board can do better than this...im frustrated to a point now im ready to just give up on it..
