I recently built a PC with an x5650 and an intel dx58so motherboard. I can't overclock like at all. Any time I do it wont come on and tells me the OC is unstable. My cooling is very good btw.
I think it has something to do with the RAM which is 12GB (4*3) CL 11 1600mhz. The automatic profile has it at CL 9 1333 but if I adjust things to CL 11 1333 or 1600mhz, things don't work. They don't work if I leave it at the automatic profile and overclock at all either. RAM runs at 1.5 volts
I can't use the CPU multiplier (cap is 20), just the base clock. Set the CPU voltage to 1.3 when I was trying to achieve (any) overclock last night, was going to adjust down.
All power saving features disabled, I have it set to have low vdroop.
Only other voltage I can adjust is the IOH Voltage which is at the default 1.1.
BIOS is the latest version.
