Hey peoples,
I have a small issue and need some input from a few people who actually know what they're talking about.
Right now my rig consist of the following:
Asrock 880G Extreme3 Socket AM3
Phenom II x6 1055t @ stock
8gb Corsair DDR3 1600MHz/PC3-12800 XMS3 Dominator Memory CL9 (9-9-9-24)
GTX580 (soon to be 590)
My issue is that i've had a few cracks at the old overclocking malarkey and i've had no luck. At anything other than stock speeds my computer will die. I've got myself a coolermaster x6 (i think maybe) after having a look around as it was suggested to be a decent cooler. I've checked for overheating but that simply isnt the case.
Now can i blame my low end motherboard for this or is it just my poor expertise that's letting me down here?? I've heard all over the net that people have no issues at all in overclocking this chip to the same levels as its black edition brother but have had no luck pushing it up even .1ghz. lol
If the motherboard is to blame then any suggestions on a substitute. if it's just me. Maybe point me in the direction of an article or something that might help me overcome my own limitations as a noob overclocker
Cheers in advance for any feedback. very much appreciated.
