Hi all, Im having problems with my OC since I replaced my old 8GB 1600's with this Flare kit. http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=274. Obviously, i had to revise the OC on my 1090T to accomodate the kit's stock clocks, since the stock 3.2ghz will only get me as high as 1600mhz.
From my old setting of 250 x 16, i changed it to 225 x 18 in order to get 1800mhz for the rams. Everything else was left as it is. (i'll indicate my settings later). Problem is, im getting lots of BSODs when I prime, when in fact at 250x16 and my old rams, i can run prime for 12 hrs without any problems. I tried increasing the vcore from my usual 1.45 to 1.475 and maybe even 1.48 but I still get BSODs. Call me stubborn, but I refuse to believe that i would need more than 1.45 volts for a 4.0ghz OC. Something else must be causing my errors.
I went ahead and checked for the RAM stability. I can pass memtest86 and SuperPI 32M without any problems so that more or less rules out ram instability.
Any help and inputs would be greatly appreciated.
My specs and settings are as follows:
AMD Phenom II 1090T @ 4.0Ghz (225x18)*
ASUS Crosshair IV Formula (BIOS vesion 1902)
Gskill Flare 2x2GB 1800 7-8-7-24 (http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=274)
NB is at 3000MHz with 1.36v CPU/NB
HT is left at stock 2000mhz
DRAM volts is at 1.65v stock
Help?
