I am having one hell of a time trying to overclock this system. I have never been able to boot into Windows 7 at anything higher then 3.5ghz with all Auto voltages. Everytime I try pushing it further with the voltage/FSB...the board starts to act very weirdly.
The normal procedure for this board to reset the CMOS due to a bad overclocking is as follows. I can hear my 5670 fan rev up like its going to POST. Wait 30 seconds, and this repeats 2 more times. The system will then finally POST @ stock settings. What usually happens, is the system will power on and just sit there, never attempting to reset the CMOS, or will do it once or twice. I'll power off/on, and this will repeat 5-8 times. Once it's done doing that, it will POST @ my OC and try to boot into Windows. Instead, I'm greeted with the dreaded blinking underscore. I'll reboot 3-4 more times, and this will stop happening. Instead, it will POST @ my OC and say "WAIT..." I "waited" for 30 minutes, nothing. Turn the system back on/off, 2-3 more "WAIT..." later and the CMOS will finally reset.
I've read a few things about the 4 phase power control on this board not being able to handle the 1055T very well, or any 6 core CPU for that matter. Also heard that I should be upping the VDD and not the CPUv?
Funny story: During one of my 4ghz attempts, I peered into my opened case side, and saw an amber light. The board does NOT have any amber lights, unless its a transistor on fire. I then panic and spray dust off at it, the propellant fuels the fire and 2-3 more transistors light a blaze surrounding my 5670. Yanked the PSU cord and it eventually fizzled out.
