If you have a C2 stepping 955 thats pretty much all you'll get out of it is 3.9ghz.

If you have a black edition, just use the multiplier only to overclock. There's no need to use the bus clock at all.

no it is the c3 stepping one. i have tried that as well and can only get to 18.5x with 210. 200 and 20x doesn't even get past the post.

Hmm, did you update the Bios to the newest? Might help.

My 555 (which is a 955 with 2 cores off) clocks to 4.2ghz at that Vcore no problem.


Can you get a screenshot of CPUz.....cpu, mainboard, and memory tabs open (3 instances of CPUz)

the only thing i could think of that might be hurting it is the fsb:dram ratio but i heard it doesn't make a very big difference. could that be it?

That is a wacky ratio.

Take the bus back to 200. Set multiplier to 19.5. Leave Vcore at 1.50 (does your board have a no Vdroop option? If so use it) Take your ram to proper speeds, x8 multiplier so 1600 and set the timings correct. Make sure the ram voltage is at 1.65. Take the north bridge mulitplier to 12 (for 2400mhz) and the hyper transport to 11. Bump the CPU NB voltage by .050.

Give that a shot I guess.

With the I7 860 I only get down to about -50c on DICE with an I7 overclocked. I7's make tons of heat, my I3 gets down into the -60's no problem. I have the lower end budget DICE pot made by BartX, it's small and not 100% copper. But I've been thinking about just going LN2 to make up the difference and then some. Typically DICE pots should get you to -70c or so, but thats only if you have a good one.

Love the case funky, my friend just painted a haf 922 hot pink with black on the inside looks awesome. I have the same mouse pad also, I wish it was wider, but it has good wrist support, it's not good for gaming though.
