Water_Hazard Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) try bumping up the cpu vcore a little. To about 1.3 then see how far you can get and when it starts to become unstable again bump it up a little more. Just make sure to monitor temps. also you may want to lower your ram divider to 2:8 so you aren't overclocking your ram at the same time.

RAM is almost always the cause this early, lower that divider! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
