New build problems

On the vid cards?
Both will do 960/1200 no problem

Im going to work on the cpu/mobo for no still.
Going to put my Megahalems on it now.
 
Now im really lost.I have it overclocked and it only crashes when I try to overclock the vid cars in msi afterburner.
BCLK 160mhz
DDR3 at 1603mhz
CPU 1.30v
QPI 1.40v
PLL 1.82v
DRAM 1.65v
IOH 1.15v
ICH 1.11v

I thought you said it was crashing when u overclocked the Video card?

If you are sure it can go higher, then try a different program other than the MSI one, as only one of your cards is MSI.
 
It is but I want to test everything more.

Have you tried a different utitity to overclock the video cards? apart from CCC and MSI.

Not yet
Just got the cooler on.Will try in a min
 
Started the system up today at the same settings and its back to bsod 124 error.
Bad motherboard again or a bad cpu.
 
Put the vcore at 1.35 and everything works fine.
Going to try and find a cheap i7 to see if its the cpu.
 
Is this a different board or still the R3F....

I am having a hard time tracking what you currently have and don't have.

EDIT:

Also I know it is a touch different but I get x124's when I either have too much core voltage and overheating the proc or I am unstable without enough core volts. Another item that causes it in my personal use, corrupted display drivers.
 
Everything in my specs on the side.
I don't know what to try anymore.

You, should be gold. I'm still gona say it's the CPU.
 
Its the CPU or the motherboard.Im thinking it might be the cpu tho.
There are 26 pads on the CPU that have never been touched also.
I don't know if thats the problem or not tho.
 
The fact that you have the same issue on two boards and that max voltage is needed to run leads me to believe that the cpu WAS NOT RUN AT STOCK VOLTAGES because YOU can't run it at stock voltages. I say it's the memory controller on the chip that's bust.

And by Stock I also mean Default settings.

I'm not concerned about the 26 pads. It's been on at least 3 mobo's.

Intel I believe only Warranties to Original Purchaser, but I may be wrong.

The QPI link is junk on this thing.Even in slow mode it don't work right.
124 error is all I got today.
Every safe voltage was tested on the qpi link and still the same.
CPU was at stock all day.
 
If you have board running, set bios back to default (if it will still run at that setting) and reflash Bios. Also, are you using IDE or AHCI when you have installed HD and OS.
 
The hdd was at ahci when I installed windows.
I set the qpi to 4800mhz lowest it will go before going slow mode and it was still 124 error.

I set the qpi to 3400mhz and it was still 124 error.

Ok so ... 1.7Ghz aka 3.4GT/s or 3.4Ghz aka 6.8GT/s ? The latter sounds right. At this point if you have decrease the multiplier to it's lowest and still get the error. I am now without a doubt agreeing that it's cpu also. I mean, i know the odds aren't great with what I had suggested beforehand, 2 rma's with getting the same board. Getting that to run on a different board and getting the same error it HAS to be that cpu.
 
How do I post you my screen shots?
 
Screenshots of my settings.
 
Camera. I downloaded tpucapture now what?
