Processor: E6420
RAM: Geil DDR2 800 (Voltage 1.9v-2.4v) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820144062
Motherboard: DFI Infinity P965-S with latest BIOS from DFI Website
I'm new to C2D. Can you guys give me some pointers on where to start with this board? I tried upping the FSB to 800 and changing the RAM setting from Auto to manually set it at DDR2800 (so the RAM is at stock speed and the proc is 3.2Ghz) but system will not boot that way. Tried a lower OC (2.6Ghz IIRC) and it still won't boot.
Do I have to disable C1E and anything else? What is the safe limit for upping the voltage on my E6420? I'm sure I'm missing some basic stuff but I'm sure there are others here that have a lot of experience with this board already...
Thanks,
CxP
