I can't get this system to budge...

I got as far as 105mhz BCLK with software...

Previously had issues with AHCI making my SSD disappear with high BCLK... then found out setting it to IDE fixed it.

But I'm still having issues.. endless reboots above 105mhz.

Even when dropping the multiplier, raising voltage, lowering the memory divider...

I had tons of fun overclocking my last system... Opteron 146 @ 2.8ghz, Sapphire X800GTO^2, oodles of overclocking done on that system, doubled my framerate in most games :)

But this damn system... cursed.
 
That article should help a lot, also you should have pretty good luck with the Gigabyte boards they are pretty dang good.
 
I've read every article on Overclocking this chip that I can find on the internet... I feel they are leaving something important out, or I'm doing something extremely stupid without realizing it.
