Help with over clocking my i7 930 in my Asus
As u can probably tell, I'm in the process of trying to find a constant and quick overclocked speed for my i7 930. I currently am running it at 3.87 just before I left work and haven't done a stress test on it yet. I've read that is better to keep the voltage at stock settings when overclocking which wasn't done by myfriend that was helping me. So he set it at 1.27500 or something like that. I know it was 1.275 that I typed in as directed. Did a two hour full load test and it didnt crash or anything. I go to play a game last night, it crashed the whole pc, got the blue physical memory dump screen, or the start up screen said IOH is over temp. Went through the settings again and knocked it down to 160 and lowered the voltage. Now the game freezes and pc doesn't even respond to Ctrl Alt Delete to go to task manager to close out so I have to shut down the whole pc and start up windows in order to go back into the game. My specs are as follows:
Intel i7 930 2.8
Coolmaster case
Coolmaster V8 heat sink
Asus rampage 3
Nvidia Geforce GTX 470
9 gb of memory
750 watt power supply
Any expert help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
