Okay, basically whenever I try to OC my CPU or RAM I fail miserably. Here are my problems:
I've got the RAM set at 2133mhz and it boots with 1.5v I can up the voltage to 1.65 (as most people recommend for 2133mhz) but then it doesn't boot. It says 2133mhz in the BIOS, and CLICKBIOSII, however when I run CPUZ it then says that the RAM is at 1333mhz? Why is this? How can I test to see which is wrong?
If I reset the CMOS then access the BIOS I can get my CPU voltage from 0.9 to 1.9, however after restarting the PC, the maximum CPU voltage drops down to 1.449, and I would really like my CPU voltage to be 1.55, to reach 5ghz, however I can also stick it as auto, however that makes the pc crash again. Any ideas on how I might get the maximum to stay at 1.9 or at least 1.55? I really don't want to reset the CMOS every time I start up my pc.
Basically, I can get higher CPU voltages through CLICK BIOS, and when I overclock the CPU, RAM, and adjust the voltages when I click apply, I get the not responding message, and I leave it to respond, however after leaving it to respond it tells me to restart, so I do. When I go back onto CLICK BIOS, the values are back to default. I don't enter the MOBO BIOS, and I've got MSI fast Boot on so I definitely can't enter it.
Whenever I try to OC the CPU through AMD overdrive, I can get up to 6.3 ghz, but I don't want it that high, so when I adjust the slider to 5ghz, and click apply, and open CPUZ it then says 2.9ghz, and the multiplier is 14.5 it should be 25.
And also, this is more of a question of knowledge, but on MSI afterburner I've enabled "unofficial overclocking", yet I cannot access core voltage, it is unlocked in the settings. Also, the power limit can go up to +20% yet I don't understand this very well. You'd think that, that would mean that it can use up to 20% more power, so I could get better overclocks, yet no matter whether the power limit is on +4% (lowest stable power), or +20% I cannot get better overclocks.
I've tried updating the BIOS.
