I can overclock a CPU fine (Intel-wise) but its just really a matter of finding a sweet spot for the voltage so it's pretty much straight forward at the moment.

ALTHOUGH the RAM! I can't for the life of me get it to run to 2000mhz or with lower latency settings, It will be super unstable even under the correct voltages SIGH. Teaches me to buy good branded RAM when I don't even know how to use it for OC -_-.

I regret buying intel and I regret NOT buying GSkill tridents 1600mhz. Bulldozer hurry the damn hell up! :laugh:

Your "System Specs" reflect your current settings, or just what hardware you have and it's "rated" specs? Because 7-7-7 @ 2000MHz is pretty low IMO :\



So I've basically come to terms with the fact my CPU won't OC at all and have taken up just timing the RAM and finding the best stable, highest performing, settings. I decided to experiment and see how much performance is gained (or that I'm losing since I've got the CPU-NB and HT running default 2GHz) from increasing the CPU-NB speed, even a little. I know the highest stable speed this 555 will do is 2400MHz, and 2600MHz is only for a short while, so with that I set out to find what the difference is... I'm tending to agree with what FlanK3r said when I posted this in his thread on his Thuban OC, that it is probably a bug, but...

:wtf::twitch::confused:


I hit 6000 as well, but when I tried to re-open MaxxMEM the system crashed heh Another reason I'm leery about it actually being that is I can't even POST at 2800 :ohwell: I dunno though, this board was sent as a review sample and has some rather strange quirks which has made me debate trying to RMA it... Main 'issue' is the memory and how it gets reported to EVERYTHING as DDR3-1333 when I've got certain timings adjusted... Like I was able to do 7-6-6-25 @ 1600, which showed 1600. Then I went to 6-6-6 which still reported 1600 and performance increased a little to indicate it was actually set. Yet if I go back to 7-6-6, everything shows the memory running @ 1333 :confused:

With any luck I might have a Phenom II X4 840T coming my way, which from the few others who have gotten their hands on one should have a 100% chance to unlock to an X6 :D So cross your fingers with me to help my chances to get it!!
