Hey guys,

I'm new to OC'ing and I'm having trouble overclocking my new system.

I could get the Core to 4GHz using the following settings:

CPU Clock 21x
Uncore 13x
QPI auto
BCLK 191x

and the RAM was running at around 1000MHz.

However when I tried to set the RAM from 6x to 8x in the memory multi settings it would not boot anymore.
This should take the RAM to just under the stock speed. I've tried playing around with the voltages and had a friend with more eperience helping me but we've hit a dead end so it seems.
I've reset my CMOS to factory as I eventually tinkered too much and couldnt get my system booting. Can anyone offer any help as to what I can do to get my CPU at 4GHz and my RAM at 1600MHz?

Here's my hardware setup:

Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 Intel X58 (Socket 1366) DDR3 Motherboard
Intel Core i7 930 2.80GHz (Bloomfield) (Socket LGA1366) - Retail
EVGA GeForce GTX 460 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Corsair HX 750W ATX Modular SLI Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-750HXUK)
Patriot Viper 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 12800C8 1600MHz Low Latency Triple Channel (PVT36G1600LLK)
Lian Li PC-60FW Aluminium Midi Case - Black
Corsair H50-1 High-Performance CPU Watercooler (Socket LGA77511561366AM2AM3)

Cheers In Advance!!

try bclk 200
with multiplier 20
qpi auto
with the appropriate vcore to boot with 1.27 - 1.32
then with your ram set it to 1600
with a ulck of 3200

your uncore HAS to be 2x ram, at 12x uncore has a bug and will not work, so for 6x ram you need 13x uncore, for 8x u need 16x uncore, or 17x people say 2x+1 is more stable. Do not worry about ram until after cpuis successfully overclocked. I have almost your same setup.

Thanks for the help.

I've had some more advice which was to use these settings:

I've tried them with my DRAM voltage at 1.64v instead of 1.65v because that setting isnt available. I've also tried setting the uncore clock to x17 and playing about with the voltage settings. It gets into windows, but then either freezes or BSOD appears. Anymore advice would be more than welcome !
