Try BCLK at 195
CPU voltage between 1.28 and 1.375(lower is better)
CPU to PLL 2.00
QPI/Dram 1.32

Then work your way to lowest stable voltage :toast:

no crying if you fry it tho!

I tried x20

bclk 200

vcore 1.28
QPI is auto ill try 1.32 if I get error

dram is 1.64

I got error with previous setup I'm now using x21 bclk 191
1.28vcore
1.35 QPI
IO 1.120

no error so far ill update thanks for the help

Binge, that needs to be in your sig for sure. It's helped many people understand the finer points on overclocking the X58 series.

Edit: I want pics! Thats a nice board there!!

Also, might try googling for a bios template. that would help.
