I'm trying to overclock this cpu, Quad 9550 e0, with this motherboard but it is not going too well really and I need advice on what settings to test. Currently running stable at 3.6ghz (this cpu have been confirmed by several others to easily get up and above 4ghz, though probably on other boards.) but it wont run stable at any higher settings and even hangs while windows is loading or wont boot at all or go back to the default settings for overclocking which means stock settings.
My setup is as follows below:
GA-EP35-DS3P (rev 2.1) with latest bios. Cpu and cooler: Q9550 e0. Thermaltake Ultra 120. GPU: Geforce 8800 GTS 512mb. Ram Mushkin Redline XP2-8000 2x2Gb 5-5-5-15. PSU: Corsair HX520w. Storage: Samsung 850 Pro 256gb and Seagate Constellation 2tb.
I've read a bit in other threads around the net regarding this board and the DS3L as well and heard that others also is having the same or similar problem with overclocking this board.
It have been a while since last time I tried but I have tried several times in the past with the same disappointing and somewhat frustrating result but I'm prepared to give it a last GO since this setup run Windows 10 quite well and I'm in no hurry to build a new rig.
But I've tried the things I could have thought of and would appreciate some advice on what to do.
Below is linksto Bios-pictures which shows the settings I uses. It is the Digital photography review website if anyone wonder what site it is.
