Problem : Ok, so im trying to Overclock my i7-950 @ 3.07ghz (Already successfully overclocked to 3.4ghz), to around 4.0ghz. So, i was like "Ok, i know how to do this..." Go into BIOS, OC it to 3.6, and a
Blue light comes on
next to the DDR3 memory, but
only when i go
past 3.5ghz (yes, tested it on 3.55, and 3.5). Anything below is ok, and no light appears. I've got 6gb DDR3 RAM.
Cooling And Power: I have the H50 water cooling, no temps are above 40*C at any time, so i dont think its heat, and i have a 700W Corsair PSU, of which im only using 500W max (gonna SLI two GTX 560 Ti's very soon, so +115W
) even then ill still have extra power, so i dont think its a power issue either.
Looked in the manual, cant find anything, so thought i'd post it here.
BIOS: BIOS specs are as follows:
CPU Clock Ratio : 24x
CPU Frequency : 3.40ghz (142 x 24)
QPI Link Speed : 5.11ghz
Uncore Freq : 2556mhz
BCLK Frequency(MHZ) : 142
System memory Multiplier : 6.0
Memory Frequency (MHZ) : 1066 852
If you need anymore info, just ask and ill give it to you.
And if i screwed up anywhere, sorry, first post =P
