E6420 OC on asus p5n-d
Shit sucks...
E6420 stock 2.13Ghz target 3.2ghz currently at 2.8 stable.
Intel Stock air cooling with AS5, I'm cheap bastard.
Asus P5N-D mobo
Corsair memory at 800mhz 5-5-5-12 -2T
Enermax 500w PSU
EVGA Gtx260 Core 216
Basically I hit a wall at 3ghz @ 1.49v, it's not stable but if I back down a bit to 2.8 or 2.9ghz and drop the volts to 1.45v everything is good and stable, or I think, I've only been doing 30min prime95 test.
I'm trying to hit 3.2ghz and I have booted but barely got past the memory check.
I've played with the NB volts 1.3-1.6v and this HT voltage 1.3-1.6v which I have no idea what it does except remind me of hyper-threading, they seem to have some marginal effect but not as much and SB is useless won't post if I raise the volts to 1.6v.
So the question is...
memory or board?
Maybe cpu?
is this my wall?
