Cpu Overclocking Help

[Caveman656]

Hello,

I've recently just got another 4GB of Ram, but when I try and start up my pc it keeps saying overclock failed.

I had a 3.8GHz overclock, and I left my Ram at default.

Do I need to change anything in the bios? seeing as there's another 4GB of Ram?

Here's some pictures of my bios at default speed.

My Specs are:

i5 760

8GB ddr3 ram "Corsair xms3"

MSI-P55-GD65 "Motherboard"

Could someone please help me get it back to 3.8GHz.

I can't change my CPU ratio, so I'll just have to leave it at 18.

Thank you.

Luckily I have all three of the exact products in my rig. What kind of cooling do you have?

These are the settings I use for a 4Ghz Overclock...

Intel EIST - Disable

C1E Support - Disable

OC Genie Button Operation - Disable (In case you push it by accident)

Memory Ratio - Lower ratio's are better for overclocking

QPI Ratio - Set to lowest (Which is 16)

CPU Voltage - 1.37V (If you have good cooling)

CPU VTT Voltage - 1.26 (If you have good cooling)

DRAM Voltage - 1.65V

Spread Spectrum - Disable

If you have good cooling you could try these settings but you will have to change your clock speed and multiplier to 18 X 211 for a 3.8Ghz

overclock.

Once you have it set, stress test it with Prime95 and IntelBurnTest, if it is stable, start backing down with the CPU and VTT voltage until you find the lowest stable voltage or if you're temps are good you could add a few notches to the base clock to see how far you get.

If you have any more questions, please post below.

Thank you very much. It works great.

I'll start lowering some of them down tomorrow.

Thanks again

Ps: I have the noctua nh-d14

No problem, Glad to help!

Post back the lowest stable volts you can get and your temps. Im going to try mine tomorrow to see whats best.
