Wondering if someone can help me here.... Summary of my system:
Silverstone TJ07 Black
P5E3 Premium X48 board
Intel QX6700
Enermax Galaxy 850W PSU
OCZ DDR3 - 1600MHz 7 7 7 24
8800GTX 768MB
C drive (2 x Raptor X in Raid0)
D drive (2 x Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB in Raid0)
CPU, NB,SB, Mosfets, VGA all watercooled by single loop Quad Rad and Dual Rad with 6 fans in push config, 10mm OD tubing and Asetek Pump with integrated res.
I had planned not to buy a QX9770 and push my QX6700 to it's limits. Decided to go for a 400 FSB with 8 x multiplier = 3.2Ghz. I know 3.2 Ghz was no problem for this chip when it was in my P5W DH at 320 fsb x 10.
Running the memory at 7,7,7,24 and 1.9V at 1603Mhz. Machine boots but problems in Windows crashing, tried to up the volages a little to no joy. C1E, Execute Disable etc disabled in BIOS as I did on the P5W DH.
Am I pushing the QX6700 too much on the FSB side ? I can run it at 3.45 GHz without issue at 10 multiplier and 345 FSB, memory at 7,7,7,24 1500 Mhz but 400 fsb seems to bring it to its knees. May be I do need the QX9770
With this cooling system, CPU idle is 29 degrees (at 3.45 GHz), under load increases to mid 40's.
It cant be the memory which is 1600Mhz, surely 1603Mhz wouldnt stop the OCZ from working?
