Hello!
I can't oc my cpu.
My specs are
Intel DX48BT2 mobo
E6400
Club 3d gt 630 1gb ddr3 oc 10%
1x Crucial Ballistix 4GB DDR3 PC3-12800
400w acc psu
I have deepcool ice edge mini fs cpu cooler and very good airflow(5 fans and psu)
I can't get past 290x8, i'm currently running on that. If i put my fsb higher it fails. Under 300 it throws bluescreens and more than 300 it won't load windows.
My temps all ok. i'm running currently at 1.325 v

Tbh i can easily be your motherboard. I looked up the board and it is not sold nearly anywhere :( It maybe can not handle high overclocks. Hope this helped a ton!

you could give it some more vcore and maybe NB voltage
have you tried a different RAM strap?Try them all.
x48 chipset should definitely provide more fsb than that.

So, i tried different straps. I put my fsb to 300 and multiplier was 8. My vcore was something 1.36 and i increased nb by 0.025. I did orthos and it failed, bluescreen. But maybe i have to change timings?
Edit: I put manuali my ram to 800 mhz in bios, and now oc is working. I'm currently running at 2.4 ghz, trying get more
