Hi All, I'm trying to tweak my brand new motherboard! I'm really liking it so far, but i'm a bit stuck on my OC.
Trying to keep all power-saving & turbo features enabled, and get the max stable OC possible. Its running at around 3.45ghz with std multiplier (x22) upto around 4ghz with only one thread(x26). If i raise the bclk one more (from 157 to 158) i get random freezes (eventho linx can do 20 passes). What can i try to get a bit higher? My goal is to reach about 165/170 bclk & 4.5ghz with max multiplier (x26) Temperatures are still really safe & around 70c on full linx load.
