As the title says, I have issues with my particular system...
e8500 e0 @ 4.00Ghz (500x8) 1.34V
Asus P5q Pro p45 chipset 1613m bios
Patriot Extreme Performance 2x2 GB DDR2-6400 (overclocked with cpu) 5-5-5-15 1:1
*see system specs for power supply and other information)
dRAM voltages are set at 2.1V
NB at 1.26V
SB at 1.1V
FSB termination voltage at 1.26V as well
333 FSB strap
I am at my wit's end trying to get past 4.0xx, but no matter what I try further overclocking fails. I almost passed an occt 2 hr stress test running at 4250mhz (1.4 core voltage), but 1hr 30mins in I am greeted with a black screen and restart. No matter how much I increased vcore, up to 1.45V, my overclocking failed. Though 4Ghz is not a miserly speed, I have seen other e8500 e0 overclocks on the internet faster with less voltage! I am about to replace my memory with a 2x2GB OCZ reaper set (1066), so I wonder...
1. Is RAM holding me back?
2. Since the memory has not arrived yet, is it still possible to obtain a stable (2hr occt) 4.2 ghz overclock below 1.4V? If so, any advice on how to do it?
Sorry for being wordy, it's the passion for overclocking
