If you're dead set on using that "extreme" setting then loosen your RAM timings and see if that helps. However, since you have a 2600K you could just loosen those timings a bit, up your multiplier until you get instability, give it some voltage, try upping the multi again, and once you have your desired OC then tighten the RAM timings to where they will run stable.

imm0rt41 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 with those specs you should be seeing higher OCs than you are. I would highly suggest reading some sandy bridge OCing guides because it sounds like the methods you are using are not going to give you any stability.

My_Inner_Fred Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 I put PLL overclocking on even though it messes up your sleep mode and I set the multiplier on 47. Easy as that, the power transfers on auto and it runs stable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
