• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I just put my system together last night and it posts and is stable at 189 FSB(can't remember what's it's called on the new i5's off hand). As soon as I bump it to 190 it refuses to post. What can I change? I'm using a xigmatek heatsink and at 189 (3.78 Ghz) my temps don't exceed 61c so it seems to me it can handle more. My goal is 3.9 or 4ghz.

vcore is set at ~1.35. Ive tried bumping it up all the way to 1.4 and it still refuses to post at 190.
