any OC experts care to share some advice?
Specs:
AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE
Noctua nh-d14 cpu cooler (changed out 1 fan)
M4A785TD-EVO
4GB GSkill DDR3 1333
XFX 4970
Corsair 750w psu
Antec 1200 case (changed out all fans)
so i just got my new cpu and cooler, and i thought i would try OCing (first attempt at ocing a processor) and here are my results:
3.9 Ghz and stable after 3 +hours of Prime95 ( only changed the multiplier and cpu voltage )
temps after 3 Hours of Prime95:
air flow not an issue (sorry shitty cell phone camera)
now the problem: once i got 3.9 Ghz stable nothing i do will get it to go to 4Ghz stable, no change in cpu voltages or HT ref. clock, everything i try fails after a few mins in prime95.
thoughts on how i can get to 4ghz? i thought i was doing well for my first OC
