Looking for a stable 3.6ghz overclock. I think I have things close but since I'm a newb I'd like your input. I'm prime stable on all three tests for an two hours each, haven't had time to go longer yet.

Temps are fine all in the 50's for max load. In CPUZ Core Voltage says 1.34V under load.

I've also ran memory tests and all seem to check out fine. Every once in awhile I get a BSOD on startup but it seems like it's only on cold bootup and it's very random even at that. I can't trace it down and it's driving me nuts.

Running the F2 BIOS because I'm a newb and am afraid to flash it.

How do things look? What should I change? I know I need to run prime95 for longer, my main concern is the strange cold boot issue and also not wanting to overvolt anything since I'm pretty sure I've got the dreaded foxcon socket.

Only other issue I've noticed is Crysis froze a couple times and ate all my RAM a couple times but I think that's an issue with that pig of a game as apposed to the setup.

So far this thing rocks, I just want to get everything where it needs to be. I appreciate any advice you can give since I'm not 100% sure what all the settings mean and am still learning.
 
According to those settings you are running your ram at 2000mhz
multi 10
bclck 200

You want to change that to 8, that will give you 1600mhz. Probably reason for blue screens.
Is your ram rated to run at 1.62v if not you might want to fix that.
 


Ram is rated to 1.6, I changed it to 1.62 to help with the higher speed. Ram is rated to 2000mhz, I've had it at 1600mhz and still get blue screens.
