Okay guys any help here would be greatly appreciated!
I'm overclocking my system and i've reached 3.4GHz with the memory oc'd to 1700MHz. I've stress tested the setup using OCCT and it seems perfectly stable - however i can't get orthos or prime95 to work properly.
Both apps say they are running without errors but the cpu usage remains at zero (in task manager). Sometimes after a few minutes prime95 will flicker up to 100% then back to 2% ish. I'm running Vista x64 so could this be a software compatibility issue? I'm pretty sure my overclock is stable as OCCT runs fine with 100% load...?
Q9450 @ 3.4GHz (8x 425) vcore 1.35v
Maximus Extreme
OCZ DDR3 1600MHz @ 1700MHz vcore 2.00v
Cheers,
