Hey
As some of you may know yesterday i went through the hell of bending back the pins on a damaged Phenom II processer that i bought off a friend

I overclocked it to 3.4GHZ and ran prime95 for 10 mins = Blue Screen
I asked him if he was stable and he said he could run prime 95 @ 3.4 stock volts for hours

As i had to bend back all the pins on the cpu do you think i could of damaged something?
Or could it be that my motherboard or ram is causing the instablillity

He was using a
Gigabyte MA780G-UD3H
4gb OCZ Gold @ 1066 mhz


Thnx guys

Is the CPU stable at stock?

If the CPU is stable at stock, then it's not damaged.

Revert to stock, then come back here and post the results.

Also, what are your temps? Heat can cause instability.

Well then, your temps are fine, and if it's stable at stock, then the CPU isn't damaged.

Time to up your volts slightly.

Ahh okay
Thats a releif
Unfortunatly my current mobo doesnt have any options for voltage adjustment
So im stuck at stock volts atm

Hmm, then in that case, try loosening your RAM's timings, that could be the limiting factor in your overclock.

Does your motherboard have options for NB voltage adjustments? If so; try upping the volts slightly, that could be your problem.
