Hey guys,
I just got a gtx670 from my 5850 and it performs about 3x better in BF3, 3D Mark, but in SC2 it's not doing so well. I think my CPU may be bottlenecking so I'm trying to overclock it a bit. I been reading guides and threads all night and just tried it twice to get it to 3.8GHz, and both times my PC won't even start up until I reset CMOS. Can someone see what I did wrong? I keep seeing that 3.8GHz should be easy...Also is it bad for my comp everytime it can't start up due to overclocking?
1st try:
BCLK: 181 x 21
Disabled Turbo, C1E, EIST
RAM was at 7-7-7-24, volt 1.5 (auto)
Vcore 1.3, vtt 1.15, pll 1.8, pch 1.1
2nd try:
BCLK: 181 x 21
Disabled Turbo, C1E, EIST, C3/C6/C7, HyperThread
RAM 7-7-7-24 Volt 1.58
Vcore 1.35, vtt 1.2, PLL 1.9, PCH 1.12
