My system seems rock solid (at 1600MHz) with the settings below (500 consecutive runs of LinX error-free, max core temp 73C) but I, like many others on this forum it seems, cannot get it to run at 2000MHz. I had a very hard time to even get it to POST (had to really crank up the voltage for QPI, PLL, DRAM and really relaxthe timings from what they are supposed to run at), but even if I managed to get into Windows it crashes/reboots soon after. What am I doing wrong here?
CPU: i7 930
HSF: Noctua NH-D14
MOBO: Asus P6X58D-E (Bios 0108)
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws F3-16000CL9T-6GBRH
PSU: Corsair HX850W
(Copied this list from another post and edited in my settings. Side note: is there a way to export BIOS settings to a text file?)
