ok, without typing so much u don't want to read the rest of this:

keeping my CPU and qpi below stock settings I was able to push my ram from 1600 all the way up to 1908.

keeping my qpi and ram below stock settings I was able to get my cpu to 3.74 before temps began to concern me(which is another issue)

keeping my CPU and ram below stock settings I was able to get my qpi to 6.4 something

now lies the issue. with my CPU at stock settings, I cannot raise my qpi and ram simultaneously. vtt at 1.21v ram at 1.65...at 2.7ghz CPU 1700mhz ram and 5.44 qpi I can't even POST :(

ok, so it appears that so long as I keep my ram below it's rated 1600mhz I can get the computer to boot and be stable...checking 3.57 on 1.25vcore right now. Any ideas on getting my ram speeds back up to the 1900mhz they're capable of while maintaining a decent overclock?
