Trouble overclocking i7 970.

Hi All, Having trouble figuring out what voltage i possible need to increase due to linx dropping an error after attempting the 19 run.Included is a screenshot.

Core i7 970 with R3E Mobo with 24GB of RAM.
 
What RAM have you got and what is it running at with this overclock? Try increasing the DRAM voltage to 1.65v/1.66v.
Try increasing the QPI/DRAM voltage to 1.35v
Try running again after these voltage increases. If it still fails increase the vcore a step or two.

What speed is it running at? CPUz should show this. As soon as you change the BCLK you change the speed the memory is running at so we need to make sure it's all good. The 1.5v will be for 1600MHz @ 9cas if you have gone faster then you'll most probably need to run more voltage through them.
Also, running a higher QPI/DRAM voltage usually helps 90% of the time, start with 1.35v and increase up to 1.40v and see if you get stable or not. It's safe to do so but i wouldn't recommend any more than 1.40v though many do when running a very high BCLK, under 200 it doesn't serve much use.

Apart from that and the memory speed and voltage you may need to knock the cpu voltage up a little more maybe.

Its not running at the rate 1600mhz, its actually below specs (close to 1333). Bumped up vcore and qpi, letting it run to see if it stable.

Ah ok then if that's the case then for now just leave the memory, sort that out when you've got the CPU stable.

Yep, hoping to get cpu stable first, then working on getting memory at rated speed (as i know it will be a challenge with 24gb and a 4.0ghz cpu overclock).
