Yes, the asrock extreme tuning seems to make "something" stable.
The NB defaults to different settings depending on your ram settings. For 1866 it defaults to 720/1.2v, which is too low/high for this.
900mhz and 1.15+v should get you a good starting point. Should work good with the K as you don't have to use base overclocking.
Run as little volts with that board as possible. I'm folding at 3.559ghz (123 baseclock) at 1.39-1.4v but it just blacksreens with prime95 at the same settings. This is also getting warm for my low profile cooler, with core temps at 48-50c, and socket in the 55ish range. Running lower frequencies can easily get less volts, and should make the screen dropping out go away. See how low volts you can get it stable @ stock, then work your way up the multi. You should be able to get to at least 34x wihout having the blackscreen issue. I have axtu open on startup/auto apply, but going up in baseclock you have to turn off auto apply if you don't want it to run some questionable overclock. its happened to me.
3dmark11 shows nb issues along with ram issues. I take it those are set properly though?

I wish i saw this sooner!! I tried what you guys said perhaps 8 months back about lowering the volts and my motherboard DIED after like 2 weeks of it!!! and I had to use the RMA on it, and it took a month or so to just get it back.. after that I pretty much said forget about the problems and didn't even use the integrated at all;except for folding purposes.
You guys are right, because when I don't use the videocard at all, or use it just for folding, my CPU can get all the way up to like 90+C and still run ok... but about to crash..
so thats 50 degrees C higher when its not having to deal with GPU integrated...
ummm
So doing manual setup and putting it on 900Mhz NB with 1.15 volts right? I am about to try it and see if its stable, another thing.. do I leave it running at 1866 ramspeeds? or bust it down to 1600 ram? THAT would explain why when i used to turn it down to 1600 ram speeds it would be more stable.. Currently Iam not using the GPU Integrated at all and Iam letting it go at 1866 and its been like this for several weeks and it is fine.
Iam excited now! I'll report back to see if all of this works.... As for the Processor... you got 3.5 stable from those volts?? I am going to give CPU overclocking a try again soon.. I just want the graphics part dead stable on DX11 running the Dualgraphics CrossfireX.
Glad other people are running into the same problems and people knowing how to fix it!
