Re: Xeon x5460 overclocking settings

The board supports 16GB memory so 2x8GB may work, but it will need to be old memory 2Rx8 double sided memory.
Try one stick if it boots than try 2.
16GB may need more MCH Core, maybe even 1.28-1.32v.

As I said OCCT is not a must so if you wish to go higher and in games the temps are up to 65c and it does not crash than its fine.
OCCT ran for an hour?

EDIT: do not run Linpack tests, Just OCCT (first tab)

Re: Xeon x5460 overclocking settings

Do not run the POWER SUPPLY or CPU: LINPACK tests.
Run OCCT: CPU and GPU: 3d tests only.

It is just set to stop at core temp at 85 or above so it stops when it gets too hot.

Your M.I.T settings are quite good, not much else to do other then increase FSB, you can try to set Static tRead Value (tRD) to 8, it may or may not work, and it may need more MCH Core (up to 1.24v) and/or DRAM voltage (up to 1.575v)

I find it hard to believe, but you can try, 1 stick only first, at optimized defaults first.
You can save BIOS profiles and load them back later.

Re: Xeon x5460 overclocking settings

occt cpu test...

Re: Xeon x5460 overclocking settings

occt gpu test...

sorry how long i have sit idle to do this ?

Re: Xeon x5460 overclocking settings

Well you don't have to run OCCT, what temps do you have gaming?
You can monitor temps with RealTemp or Core Temp, or you can use more advanced monitoring software like HWiNFO (you can add sensors to tray)

This is for gaming?

This did not happen before over clocking?
If you go to BIOS and shut down by pressing power are they still on?
Did you only change the settings I told you in BIOS?

Write down you current settings, and try to clear CMOS for just a minute, and see.

Re: Xeon x5460 overclocking settings

no it was working good before oc....

Done as you said but no success...

Re: Xeon x5460 overclocking settings

Are you sure you are shutting down and not going to sleep?
Does it boot normally when you power up (POST message)?

What about power down when in BIOS?
