Issues with 965 EE and DFI Lanparty X58

Raiasokura · 10-03-09, 05:35 PM

Currently having an issue with my recently purchased DFI board, everytime i try to overclock the chip past 166 the system refuses to boot, can do 164 no problems and still be stable, chip is running at 3.93Ghz.

I know the DFI's can be picky, Ive tried to adjust the voltages and still no aval, its becoming a hassle and as i said the system seems stable @ the above setting.

Current setup:

DFI Lanparty UT X58-T3eH8
Core i7 965 EE @ 3.93Ghz
Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme
6GB Corsair dominators 1640Mhz 8-8-8-24

Any ideas why I cant seem to go above 166 in CPU CLK? to make this run at 4Ghz, or is the board just being fussy?

Any help with this will be appreciated, thanks.

Also forgot to add i tried 170Mhz CPU BCLK and 20x, disabled turbo mode and still getting the same thing, simply fails to boot.

Im guessing the DFI is to blame its deffinitely not the processor or ram, any ideas on what this could be? when turbo mode is enabled cpu runs @ 4,100Mhz without any problems when at 164MHz BCLK x24 (unlocked multi), ran prime stable. do I need to enable turbo to get this running beyond 4Ghz? I would also guess this should be doing 200Mhz x20 without any problems.

thanks in advance

thanks for the post, pretty certain its the board.. some others are saying its unlikely as these boards should easily reach 200Mhz.. not sure hope the boards not faulty.
