Hello peepz. I am having some problems overclocking my cpu, hope you can help.
I have an Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 2.9gh as you already know, and I have been playing with it at the BIOS a bit. It seems that no matter what I do, I can't raise my Host Frequency above 300. That means it can only reach 3.3gh. Raising the host frequency to 305 causes BSoDs. This is confusing for a couple of reasons.
1) Based on the BIOS's temperature inspection it remains at 35-40 Celsius, when CPU Vcore is at 1.275V and when overclocked to 3.3gh. Oddly, EVEREST inspection shows 30-35. It, more or less stays the same when I raise the Vcore to 1.375,
2) My PSU is a Seasonic S12 II Bronze, which should be sufficient for the job, I think.
To my understanding, then, it is neither the fault of the fan or the PSU. Which leaves me wondering what is the problem. So if you know what's going on, please help stupid old me!
Oh and if you need more info just tell me!
Thanks in advance!
